Sounds like a good idea, as for the keyboard a company called Inovations, I
think, has created a little device that allows you to use a standard PS2
(the computer standard NOT playstation 2) keyboard on the dreamcast.

There should be a way to do that, first you will need a device that will
disrupt the dreamcast. like BLEEM, I have seen CDs that allow you to swap
disks and play imports. and then you have to figure out how to program for a
DC. Maby if enoungh people ask SEGA they will give out the program codes for
the DC, it is not like they will be needing them

How many people are interested in an VMUscprit compiler made for the DC?  The
whole idea would be
that you wouldn't need a PC to develop VMU programs.  Just burn a CD (or have
one burned for you),
code your program on the DC, maybe debug with an emulator, save the source to
any memory card, and
run it on a real VMU...  Does this sound like a good idea?  Or just something
dumb?

I know a lot of people don't have DC keyboards, so I'm not sure how many would
care for something
like this...

At this time, there's no way to save variables to
flash memory. If anybody who reads this message knows
how to read/write to the flash memory (and preferably
has some assembler source) please tell me!!!
    The push / pop commands manipulate the stack by
adding / removing data from the stack respectively
(they're exact copies of the original asssembler
mnemonics).
    You shouldn't worry about these commands, but they
come in handy sometimes when you need a temporary
place to store data.
    A common use for push and pop is to switch the
values of variables.
    EXAMPLE: to switch the values of a and b

    push: a
    push: b
    pop: a
    pop: b

How do I save variables on flash memory with the compiler?

What does the 'pop' command do?
I never use it and feel like I'm doing something wrong.
Even if my programs work properly.

it's not THAT bad.
I just saved the main pages on my PC.
And if I see any updates I just update again.

I hae my page on angelfire.com and have never gotten a complaint abou ads.
BTW if you log in to the page with your DC,there are no ads!
BOOOM! problem solved =)

If you're talking about background music or complex
sound effects, you have to program that yourself.
However, the 'play' command plays any frequency in the
background until you use the 'stop' command.

You will need:
    The Compiler,
    the Assembler,
    and the Emulator.

All of these programs are conveniently available at
the VMU Script page :-)

GOTO: http://www.vmuscript.8m.com/

    Download the 'Hello' example and be sure to look at
the command reference page and the concepts page to
get some ideas of how to use the compiler.
   And PLEASE visit Marcus's or Maushammer's site to
get some technical help, or a lot of the VMU stuff
won't make sense.

It seems that some people have just downloaded the compiler before my
site finished updating. If you just downloaded version 1.74, you did
not receive the full version and it will NOT work right.
PLEASE GO BACK TO THE VMU SCRIPT SITE AND DOWNLOAD AGAIN!!!!

I've just uploaded the new compiler version 1.74 which features a
bug fix and two new commands for playing sounds. Please visit the
downloads page and download the new version. If you have time, feel
free to download the new sound example which plays a siren using the
new commands.

   ALSO: The page recently had some technical problems (I accidentally
erased index.html) so I had to re-create it. It should be okay now,
though.

Actually I got more from the logic game.
I have a low level of programing for the PC so I get most of the commands
(loop,if - end if,etc.)
But for the VMU you have to make your own fonts,and that is where im stuck right
now.
I already get how to clear the screen and how the "hello world" program clears
the screen and prints in two parts with xbnk.

I just want to know how to put my own version of small fonts on the VMU LCD,I
guess I'm going to start mesing with the "small font" program.

Ok,I think I get it now.

hour = getsysvar: $1b
minute = getsysvar: $1c
second = getsysvar: $1d

I'll go try it,thanks.

The graphics are a little complicated, and the LOGIC
game is a little complicated to be learning from. A
good example to learn from is the VMU Script 'hello'
example, once you understand that go on to the more
advanced 'hello world' example. Both of these examples
are commented to explain everything. Just go to the
site to view them.
   If you want to have a more advanced understanding of
the LCD, visit the VMU Script concepts page and see if
you can get some ideas from there. It will explain
some technical things about the LCD.

it does, but you have to know the address of the
system variable.
   Since time is stored in system variables (which are
stored in a different area of memory), you have to use
the getsysvar function.
   For example, the seconds are stored in address $1d,
to retrieve it, you'd type this:
    my_variable = getsysvar: $1d

I hope this helps. If you aren't sure which addresses
are used for which system variables, check with
Marcus's site. It'll be at his VMS Firmware page.

I undestand almost all by now,but I am still having trouble with getting
graphics to the LCD.

I need help with a small example on how to get the graphics on the LCD.

I can make the logo on the logic move to any place now,so i'm getting there.

how do I get the current VMU time to a variable?

I do my VMU programing with the compiler and it does not feature that command (I
think)

NEW BUG FIX: The VMU Script random number function wasn't working
right and only returned numbers from 0 through 12! I fixed this now,
and it works perfectly. Please download the fixed compiler at my
downloads page. I'm sorry if this caused any problems!

Yup!

   I just uploaded the source to the group files. It's
in the Programs folder.

   Sorry about the attachments!

I've just finished coding a text engine for the
VMU. It features a full font of 64 chars and symbols,
multi-line capability and automatic scrolling. Text
can be relocated by just changing two variables.

    It's written with VMU Script and the code is
attached to this e-mail. If you still code in
assembler, you can probably use the compiled code in
your programs, although it's much easier with VMU
Script!
