Yes, i've tried Comports 1 to 4. It doesnt work with DC Load GUI because THE OPERATING SYSTEM WIN XP sais, that the Comport cannot be found. This hasn't to do with the cable, but with the root to the comport.
The same error occured, when I was compiling the program with the mak file including "COM1 -b". I had to change the -b to -d.
So, I'm now trying to burn the compiled example program to a self bootable cd. Theres a tool called selfboot inducer, wich automatically create an image (which works), that opens an sbi file. So I tried to make an sbi file of the compiled tunnel exple program. I used the SBI Builder 2.4
There are 3 files: tunnel.bin, tunnel.elf and 1st_read bin. Which one do I have to change to a SBI file, and how do I have to add the other files? Is there something else I have to change (perhaps the .mak file before compiling)?
I think it can't be that hard to make a cd for dreamcast, but I never succeeded... and I'm getting lost in the hundreds of tools and tutorials avaiable on the internet....
I just saw theres a similar topic in the help forum, so plz answer my questions there....

I managed to get the coders cable working. It was so simple, but because I'm not too familiar with the Windows World I didn't know about that before: I had to activate the Comport in the BIOS. Shame on me, but now its working finde. Great Tutorial. But I have already the next problem. So please check my topic in the Dev++ Section: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/...7222;start=0#0
PS. I know, I'm asking many newbs questions, but believe me: as soon as I will manage to create a working file myself drawing a picture and playing a sound, there wont be probles anymore. promised.
