According to the authors, system memory is working as it should. The gfx memory is having some miswrites I believe it was. Don't quote me on that though, it's been a while since I checked the reports. This makes sense, since there is almost virtually no slowdown on most games, and yet graphics are missing and the likes. Just a note: I never said it wasn't a memory bug.;)

Weird. Sorry, I thought you did, my mistake. :p
Ok I admit you're right, I'm wrong, graphics bug alone. Sorry for the trouble

I agree on the game having a bad camera! :evil:
Lolz, yeah, the game has a bad camera angle, which even on the original DC bugs me to death :p.
By the way, Tailkar, I'm not trying to play the right/wrong game, I just want to pass on some things I've learned over time.;)

Doesn't change the fact that you are right about it though :p.

I was just speaking from a 3rd party person, I haven't played the game itself, but I might actually have it somewhere in a box. Is the camera really that bad even on the regular DC?

It's horrible. you rotate the camera to just where you want it, then as soon as you move: Whoosh! It spins back to where it was before you adjusted it. Makes for some terrorizing jumping sometimes. Still a good game, if they could have just made the camera nicer.:p

Ouch, maybe someone could spend a ridiculous amount of time editing an ISO of it to give a better camera... :p I have enough problems playing the style of game with a good camera angle myself.

All you need to do it is one of these. I'd love to have one myself. It's called the HKT-01. The Dreamcast development kit. They go on ebay for around $1,000 from time to time.

$1000 Dollars for something for the dreamcast!? I got the dreamcast itself for 20 dollars (canadian) with 2 controllers and cords along with a VMU. I wouldn't pay 50x extra for an accessory/addon. :/

Nevermind that looks more like a revamped version of the DC...:huh:

It's for the actual development of games. Imagine making your own games. Of course, you'd still need blank GD-R's which can be hard to find anymore.
It's a PC crossed with some Dreamcast hardware. It can play games (notice the controller sockets) as well as manipulate them. It's the Dreamcast diehard's dream come true.:p

You can make games with that (I never thought game-wise)? The DC's graphics are really good too, that would be fun.. ok I take it back, if I get the chance I'll get it on the spot (if I can afford it).:happy:

I know I don't frequent this forum often, but I just thought I'd pop by for a visit and I found this thread. Let me just say that "general know it all" was very blunt and rude in his response to the thread starter, not to mention the person he was referring to as "noob".
Let me retort by saying get over yourself, you have no right to pass judgement and put people down. So what you have some information from the authors regarding this issue, the authors may have an idea about the problem, but they may also be wrong (not saying they are wrong, for all I know they are right and maybe you're right), they are not god and make mistakes, and you are certainly not god either.
To end this post I will finish by saying, fine you have your theory and possibly the information to back it up, but just because someone has a different view to yours doesn't give you the right to judge or put them down (you could have handled your response(s) alot more politely).
I am new to the Dreamcast emulation scene, I don't know shit from clay to be quite honest (call me a noob). Infact I don't know much about the core of emulation, how emulators are developed etc. I just know how to configure and run emulators (despite the fact I have been following the emulation scene for close to 5 years) and that's all I need to know, infact I don't want to know how they are developed, I just appreciate the Author's work. I have done some light programming and I know how frustrating it can be, you have to have great patience. Anyhow sorry for my rambling, no offence is intended I just don't appreciate how this thread was handled.

Hey, no sweat Talikar, enjoy the site. There's more on Assembler's website. Some really odd stuff. o_O
Now, to deal with the obvious.:evil:
ssma, you seem to have quite a bit to say, but admit to having no knowledge of the issue that was being discussed.

Please, have some faith in the people who have gotten your DC games to go this far already.

I never claimed I was. Next......

I never passed judgement nor insulted anyone. When someone who does not understand what they are talking about receives an explanation from someone who does, why does he argue? It's like taking your car to a mechanic, he tells you what's wrong, and then you argue with him and tell him he's wrong, and you're right. This irks the shit out of me. One of my pet peeves. Anyways, moving on........

That first statement is quite obvious. And if you had argued with me about some magical theory of the newly discovered "camera bug", I'd laugh at you too. At least you admit you don't know shit, the original poster wouldn't admit it.;) And finally.......

How else would you expect me to take this? Given what you said, I'd say it's about as offensive as it gets.
So, learn a little on the mechanics of emulation, do some research, then come back and run your mouth. Until then, you need to get back in the incubator and come out roaring.
Enjoy my little rant.:cheers:

I rest my case...It's just the impression you left, I never stated you said you were god or knew it all etc, learn the mechanics of the English language and the context in which words are used (obvious pun)...And what does having to know about the development of emulators have to do with my feeling about how you come accross with your arrogance?? I guess you were a little too self absorbed to realise the point I was making....

Don't confuse frustration with arrogance. Your attempt at trying to be a savior is so, well the thought of it makes me so tired. So many people come and go from these forums, and not many stick around. I'm committed to doing what I am able to make this place as good as it can be. But when people who decide to report a bug (and don't misunderstand me, I encourage any help that a user can provide), is then given an explanation to what the bug actually was, this user (this is the part that is annoying) argues solid mechanics with some off the top of his head theory, then I can't help but to be ticked. I am not saying I discovered the bug, I'm not saying I know where it is. I'm saying the authors do. And if anybody is qualified to determine what needs to be fixed, they are. My relaying the information and then having it argued with can be interpreted as an insult to the developers, wouldn't you say? If you can't see this, then perhaps it is you who needs to study this great language of ours a bit more. Either that or just open your eyes.
