25 years into Dreamcast homebrew, we finally have a clear path to programming AICA’s DSP in C. AICAflow puts AICA to work as a standalone audio processor that handles music playback, dynamic SFX and multiple simultaneous DSP effects. github.com/dfchil/AICAf...

you can now play dRxLaX in you browser: drxlax.com It is made by inserting shims that take the api calls I use on the Dreamcast hardware.

I'm wondering if the PowerVR CLX2 in the Dreamcast can do triangle fans? I know it slows down on degenerated triangle strips, but what if all the even numbered vertices in this strip had the same coordinates? Would every other triangle being a little bit degenerated cause problems?

Thank you, I was stalled at making menues, due to choice paralysis from all the available fonts in the world I could rasterise. Getting the idea to limit it, dogme style, to lines on or diagonals in the underlying grid was a relief. The visual identity came together, and it was a fun process too:

Flot mis! Men jeg er tydeligvis biased efter vi har fået denne søde killing i starten af december ;) Jeg mener, din kat ligner en så vidt jeg kan se en voksen udgave af vores. God aften til dig og dine.
