Newcomers with wish list. ;-) (first message)   Message List

Hello,

I found out about DreamCast while in UK the weak they launch the
beast.
Month later I found out and VMU few month ago when by mistake I
downloaded something by mistake on Gnutella network.

So I browsed arround and found about independent developper (I know
you are on this list) and I raised the question (on another mailing
list): "Is it possible to develope without a Dreamcast?". I was told
about building a cable and communication with a PC.

This week I had a few pound to spend before leaving UK and guess
what... I brought a VMU.

I will of course have to worry about a cable (and I will go for
printer port because it use less electronics) and as time goes I will
go on and try to develop.

As a newcomer, I have a wish list of application. ;-)
I think a NotePad+Contact+Agenda+Calculator+Alarm(?)+...
a few games (snake+memory+...) would be the best application.
We could beat Palm Pilote, Nokia 61xx feature and other organiser in
size and uselessness feature.

I understand we can access the flash from mini-game (and save files
for notepad or contact list or agenda). Of course I would like to
exchange files with my girl friend to synchronise our contact list
and compare our agenda.

I also understand that we can only have one minigame at a time!!!
This mean it will have to be one application only.

QUESTIONS:
Is anybody working on similar project?
What do you think of this idea (sound crazy)?

Technical question...
* Would you think it could be possible to have a master program (the
only program we can run) that will swap in and out loadable module
(know today as minigame) and start to run them.
* This master program will swap in swap from flash those new
minigames.

Hello everybody, I want to make sure everybody (capable of developping minigames or other for the VMU) fully understand the potential of the technical answer...

Hello. My reply is a bit late, but better late than never. ;) ... IMHO this wouldn't work, for several reasons: 1. As soon as you have one gamefile on the VMU...

... Easy solution: Transfer the modules as DATA files. ... Yes, thats a problem, we have to agree on a maximum module size small enough to fit several into...
