Dosbox to Dreamcast?

i'm the guy who wrote BHole
quzar sent me e-mail, i was actually hoping someone may be interested in that thing... but nobody did...
anyway, if you guys tell me specific games you want me to run i think i can try retouching it (notice, i haven't touched BHole for like... 2 years... the release you guys saw was actually quite late :)


anyway, just wanted to tell you BHole was dead because no one seemed to care about it... (and we had dosbox and mess) if anyone cares about it know i think we can have some nice zombification.

p.s. here's the stupid question, in my life, i never seen anything but a PC, and a DEC-Alpha, can you guys please give me specs of the whole dreamcast thingy, so that maybe if i add more code to BHole, it will be done in a way that will make the code more compatible.

wow we in the Dreamcast scene are very interested in this emulator. The thought of playing games from a bygone era on the Dreamcast is a dream most have wanted to see for a long time.

i wish you both luck in this project.

Check marcus' site for a good introduction to the console: http://mc.pp.se/dc/
The Dreamcast was Sega's last games console before they became a software only company. You can pick up a console very cheaply from ebay nowadays.

dosbox?whats that?
and does anyone know how to get mugen on dreamcast?

Welcome Toh-Ava :). Marcus' homepage is probably the best for what you're looking for.

Games that would be a dream to play on it, if possible: Duke Nukem, Monster Bash, Ultima VIII.

Is a good way to setup Windows98 on Dreamcast?

:)Excellent! - nice to know you've rekindled your interest in bhole Toh-Ava. This project is now getting really interesting 8).

Here are some basic specs:
200Mhz SH-4 CPU
16MB of main ram
NEC PVR2 GPU
8MB of Graphical ram
4 controller ports (there is also a keyboard, mouse and other prehipherals)
12x (?) GD-ROM drive, which can read CD-Rs

The main thing that makes this work easily on the DC (other than the very portable nature of the code) is SDL. There is a very functional SDL port for the Dreamcast.

I should have the menu thing figured out by the end of the day, and then i can commence testing again. (i wanted to have a menu so i could burn a CD with things on it and choose from there.

Great work, I didn't expect this to become reality. I'm secretly hoping that I can run my old love Stunts/4D Sports Driving on the Dreamcast once.

Holy crap where gonna have dos with a gui!?
Wow thats like a OS.
So whatcha gonna name this OS Quzar?
Also will the Gui be in nice high reso 640x480?
