Hi all,
I am new to this, and sorry if this is double (couldnt find the right thing with the search)
I am now an proud owner of the Dreamcast Dev Kit (that Dreamcast PC)
But are there any good tutorials on the net for that? Because the manuals are missing (yeah i know it sucks shard ;))
Hope someone knows something.
Greetings,

You might wanna try finding copies of the manuals online.
Katana itself I have no clue how to work with.
WinCE DC kit can build right into Visual Studio.

I dont know where you would find copies of the manuals, but one word of caution: it is illegal to release anything made using katana or winCE. That is not to say you cant use the software and hardware in order to write things with KOS, but you cant release anything with katana or wince (technically you can release winCE stuff, but require people to have their own winCE libs.

Dont we kinda no enforce those rules as we still have some wince emulators.

No we dont. Or at least they are not supported by this site, or any other site that does not support illegal software. The only WinCE emulator i know of is sintendo, and that is not hosted by any legal site that i know of, especially since compared to the newest DSNES and SFC releases it is slow.

ebay?
And yeah, stuff done with the dcdev kit was ok at first, cause there wern't really that many options, so things like boob and sintendo were allowed, however these days theres not really a good excuse to publically release stuff using the dev kits.

they pop up randomly. there were only a certain relatively small amount made, and they usually run between 300 and 500 $ (USD). the biggest advantage to one of these, is that if you get it set up properly it will transfer stuff faster than a coders cable.

You can get one on www.ebay.co.uk right now at 77GBP.
Which is roughly about 138 USD.

unless that is the buy it now price which seems like a really odd one, that is just an early bid, it will rise in price.

Well, in fact, DCHomebrew and DCEmulation do still have some things that were made with the WinCE kit, but they don't provide the libs that are required to run those things, and they won't allow discussion of where to find those libs.

Sega doesn't say anything about the homebrew scene, however they do know about it, there was a sega rep on dcemulation at the begining, they took a blind eye to it which is good enough for me.
As curt said, the only thing that wasn't allowed was the wince libs, otherwise the code is ok.
