Wow this is awesome! It seems to happen alot that coders don't take advantage of the dedicated video and audio ram the Dreamcast has. Is it really hard to code on it? Or are people unaware of it? It seems like if optimization was done on those modules, thing's like the recently released N64 emulator and the Saturn emulator would run better.

Golden Axe Remake DC
I've uploaded a fully tested and working Dreamcast version of Golden Axe Remake to DCEvolution.net:
It's a full remake and enhanced version of the arcade game - Golden Axe.
This game was initially made for Windows by Chinese OpenBoR coder utunnels. I merely did a huge part of the RAM related optimizations for the Dreamcast port and also recorded the music modes.
utunnels helped a great deal with the Dreamcast version too. He vastly optimized the script language in OpenBoR and did many other engine related code optimizations to allow the game to run on the Dreamcast's 200Mhz CPU and 16Mbyte RAM. (In the future we will use the DC's 8Mbyte Video RAM and 2 Mbyte Sound RAM too! )

Enjoy!

I downloaded it twice and both times the .RAR file was broken
Did it happen to anyone else?

MAME4ALL use it, AES4ALL also, but you have to point to it, because functions like malloc just work in the main 16 mb of ram. The source of mame4all for example use the video ram with a pointer for some games (cps1, tmnt). Originally Posted by Elven6

In DC all the memory can be accessed directly (RAM, VIDEO, SOUND) so you have more than 16 mb of ram, but also you have a fast CPU that make FLOPS 3 times faster than a pentium 2, but is 3 times slower than it in "normal" instructions. And the PVR is really fast, but seems like nobody use it at his maximum power.

I've noticed the problems but couldn't find a solution yet. All the attempts to upload the game again gave me the same results...
I will try to upload it to Dreamcast-Scene.com to see if it is a problem with DCEvolution or if it's my ISP.Last edited by Christuserloeser; February 13th, 2008 at 09:32.
