I just got Linux set up (I hear that it's easier) on another PC that I can SSH
into and do my
development there.

Once I get KOS (CVS) set up, I'll try to get this project on the road.  Since
you're the only one
who expressed interest in helping, do you know how to set up a CVS account such
as sourceforce so
that we can collaborate on the code?  I'm relatively new to CVS. =P

The dcdev list is pretty friendly, so I assume that we can get help there.  I've
been reading the
messages for quite a while and the only thing that seems to be a problem is the
VMU save support. =\
Hopefully we can get this worked out.

Since I've only tried out the demos on the VMUscript homepage, I can't call
myself a real
VMUdevver... =\  What I'd like to know is what the average size of a VMUscript
program runs.  The
only thing I'm worried about is if the VMU (or other memory card) will have
enough space to save the
code...

Anyway, anyone want to help me get started?

*Jumps with joy!
That's great,I love it!
I'm really into the Script now,and the new "iclude:" command will
make my programing alot easier,as I tend to get stuck when the
assembler gives me an error and have to go thru all the code.

The new version 1.78 has just been released.
Please read the NEW 1.78 DOCUMENTATION and download the new version.

Some of the features of this version include:
    * String / Easy array support
    * Multiple functions may now be passed as parameters
    * Math commands may now be passed as parameters using the M
function
    * The new INCLUDE commands can make your files more readable and
easier to use.
    * The new PREPARE command can set values of subrouting arguments
without calling the subroutine!

OK, that will work with the Downloading problem (I hope), but now I
just need to figure out this uploading problem.

I need to figure how to do without the boundry...

VMU uploads must have the proper MIME types to work with DreamKey and
DreamPassport.
VMI:
application/dreamcast-vms-info
VMS:
application/dreamcast-vms

(I think that's it, that's from memory)

I've been working on a VMU Uploader since July. I had no problem
getting it to work with Planeweb. However... DreamKey and
DreamPassport givin' me lots of trouble.

Using the uploader with DreamKey or DreamPassport gives an error
message stating, basicly, that it wasn't able to find the boundry.
Also, I noticed that any VMU uploads thru my uploader can not be
downloaded by DreamKey or DreamPassport. Which I assume is an error
on my part with how the VMI file is saved.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

I know of http://dcdev.allusion.net/
and you can get help on running commercial projects on regular CD's
on http://www.dcemulation.com

Dumb? no way, absolutely not, cool idea indeed.

people like me, with no acces to a pc, could have a great time learning to
develop this way, a cheap failsafe way to make short inexpensive programs
for VMU.

Well anybody dares to takee this seriously?

   I´d be glad to help

As far as I know, homebrew DC development has been around the same length of
time if not longer than
the homebrew VMU development.  Check out dcdev@yahoogroups.com and Marcus' site.
I'm not sure how
hard it would be to port all of the tools necessary over to the DC from PC as I
haven't even looked
for the source.  I was just trying to get a general idea of a want/need for this
kind of project.

I knew about the various DC to PS/2 adapters available, but I don't know if they
are very popular.
The few people I know that actually have a DC do not own a DC keyboard or a DC
to PS/2 adapter.

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 =)

I suppose I could host your site at http://killer2.dhs.org/something/ although
you might want to
wait a little while I get my Linux box set up and move my site there... =P  It
is currently hosted
on my system, so every time I reboot or work on my hardware, it goes offline =\

On a separate note, is there a 2-player Tetris or Dr.Mario?  I just bought my
fiancée a VMU and she
wanted to play Tetris or Dr.Mario when I showed her that the VMUs could be
connected.  Are there any
2-player games out?

Sorry about that, but it's not within my control. My

I've just finished "translating" the C code into VMU Script. It uses
Bresenham's algorithm (from IBM 1965) to draw any line anywhere! It
is pretty fast, too.

You can download/view the example from the homepage.

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.

I want to learn how to program for the VMU.  Will you guys tell me where to
start, what I need, and what languages I need to know.  I want to make some
cool VMU programs.

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!!!!
Sorry.

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.
