For now, it is a preliminar stage and it have a lot of bugs, as memory leaks (hangs after play a lot of stages) or musics lost sometimes.

A Neverball port! - That is sooo cool! :D

Dreamcast should have had a Monkey Ball port in the first place. I mean, it's been a NAOMI game...


Thank you, Chui :)

[Sonic-NKT]

[M Dash]

Excelent Port!! Got a Bug though XD I finished the level.. it was still making the final score and i pressed next level and it crashed.. after that level that has a lot of goals in the middle..

Anyways, This port is EXCEL!

Chui did ask nicely; would it hurt to post your bug findings where he's asking?

[Elven6]

[Dull Blade]

3D homebrew spicey, I havent saw any of this for years. looks really good, this seems deffinatly CDr worthy. thanks

Thank you chui. I asked for this one on DCemulation forum and someone said it was probably not possible. The power of chui says it is possible. Excellent! By the way the Dreamcast was suppose to get a release of Monkey Ball, but the game was cancelled. It was listed with a date on a official release list. Instead the Gamecube got the game.

THANKS！
THE BALL = SONIC
hahahaha

[Atari]

Very nice. Monkey Ball is one of my favorite games and this is a good substitute.

[RoadWarrior]

good news.
neverball is really cool. i don't tried it on the dc yet, but i knew it for years.
you used your sdl-libs, right? how is the framerate? does it run with full-details? sure not - but, it is possible? how good is the 3d-accelation (opengl) on the dc?

[nate9999]

Chui did a marvelous job so far with this game. I bet those graphics could be used to develop tons of new projects. (maybe even a new rpg for DC? or is that too hard yet?)

I am completing KGLX and getting many progress.

For testing and debugging, i use Neverball. :D

You are great, Chui - All the best luck on your progress ! :)

ouuuKay :D

this is a better answer i hoped ^^

3D-Accelation and modem support are the main problems in DC homebrew, i think.
good to hear, someone continues KGLX :)

was Neverball hard to port to DC?


It would be great to see some other Linux-Ogl-Games (ok,ok - i mean OpenSource-Games) on the DC.
X-Moto anyone? ^^

[chui]

It really was no hard task: uae4all was much worst :D

But i think that there are not a lot of people for porting games to Dreamcast.

[Elven6]

Thanks again, I finally got this running, their are alot of great FPS games out their that could run on the Dreamcast aswell, I had links to their sources but I lost em :( I was hoping to try one but I never got anything kicked off.

That looks totally awesome. RLK (the games author) has just noticed this thread.

On the Neverforum (http://www.nevercorner.net/forum/) they are rapidly approaching a 1.5.0 release, with more than 30 new Neverball levels, and more entire neverputt courses.

They are fixing joystick control (good news for you guys) and are currently fixing locale (utf8) support.

You are cordially invited over to join, and create a related thread in the Development area, where you may find some unlikely alpha testers :thumbup:

Hope to see you there.

I hope that gets ported!

Chui, Heinrich Tillack sent me his latest version of KGL-X: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=476121&postcount=4

- Is that of any use for you ?

[Elven6]

I just tryed this out, it seems pretty cool, it needs to work though. Like save support for settings and stuff.

Great work!
