Update time!

Hey folks,
	It's been quite a while since I have played with my Dreamcast, so
I dusted it off and installed the old stuff I had built. Seeing how the
old system worked, I realized it would probably be a wise idea to
incorporate some of the suggestions others had made to the swap method,
config setup and the like, so I decided to re-cross-compile the whole
shebang from scratch. Since a lot changed (especially in the way of kernel
configuration), I decided to write new docs on the whole deal, too...So,
without further ado, I present

http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/dreamcast/

	I decided to not even bother releasing files to support burning a
kernel on CD, since Marcus' IP Upload Slave method works so well. No CD-Rs
were harmed during this experiment; I used my old IP Upload Slave CD-R.

	Other changes include using a file (/.swap) for swap instead of a
file mounted from another NFS share, a truly cross-compiled world instead
of a hacked half-broken world and files pirated from another machine and
better documentation.

	In the next few days I'm going to stick up some
differently-configured kernels (and their config files) so others can have
a place to start from if they decide to build their own kernels.

	puresimplicity.net is a box completely under my control; I moved
the stuff there so I could keep track of how much bandwidth the machine is
using and the like.

	If you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know.

Stuck with netcat?

(This all refers to Josh's directions he posted)

Ok, I knew it was going to happen at some point....

My dreamcast is sitting there with an orange screen
like this:
IP 0.0.0.0
Listening to port 4711.

On my NFS server: I've unpacked the new world, I've
installed netcat and edited the scripts (dreamcast.sh,
dreamcast-upload.sh), I've run dreamcast.sh, and I get
this:
arp: writing to routing socket: File exists
Dreamcast kernel watcher started.

But nothing gets sent to the dreamcast apparently. I
think this arp message shouldn't be issued?

Maybe I'm missing something fundamental?

The dreamcast is waiting for someone to send it a
program. I believe I've started the script that is
supposed to be sending a kernel to the dreamcast
(dreamcast.sh). This seems to do nothing.

In step 3e, it says to put dreamcast.sh in the
dreamcast's /etc/rc.d. That seems like a chicken and
egg problem to me, right? Don't these scripts go in
the NFS server's /etc/rc.d and /usr/pkg/bin

1.6-release for port-dreamcast?

Is there ever going to be a point when
netbsd/dreamcast becomes stable? What does it take for
this to happen?

Josh's recent documentation of the booting process
will probably help more people get a dreamcast online.
So the booting process has become relatively known and
dependable. What is next? Or is a stable release even
a goal that will be achieved? I am going to try to
rebuild my entire machine from itself soon. If this
can be done, what else needs to be done for it to be
"stable"?

I suppose I'll go through and look for changes that should be made to the 
official documentation, as well as put a pointer to this new doc there.

Thank you! Booting kernel CDs on a non-stable environment always seemed kind 
of silly to me, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

I didn't realize it was that hacked-up. I'm glad to hear you're releasing a 
cleaner version, though. As mentioned before on this list, I've been running 
my Dreamcast as an anonymous remailer for some time now, and the *best* 
uptime I've seen was 2 weeks. Any improvement to stability would be very 
much welcomed. 

Oh, and since I seem to be the only person out there using my Dreamcast in a 
production environment, I'll be more than happy to help you out with 
logfiles, observations, etc., to tell you what's working in the "real 
world".

Hmm,
working shared libs would be nice :-)

Also, I still get this kernel panic:

Does anyone work on these items currently?

Re: Update time!

Josh, 

I just downloaded the new dreamcast-world.tar.gz, and I decided to take a 
look at what's in it. As I had thought, it's a full distribution, so that 
you can build from scratch. 

For those of us who want to upgrade, I'm thinking of paring down that 
tarball -- for example, taking out /etc and /root -- and then sending it 
your way (I'd host it, but I don't have nearly appropriate bandwidth). Do 
you have any thoughts on what might go into doing so (i.e. caveats that 
would have to be followed)? 

Thanks,
Alex Kirk

Gameboy Display

For a while I've been trying to find out how to run Dreamcast on a Gameboy
Color LCD.  After some web searching I found that Gameboy uses RGB input for
its LCD and that Dreamcast has RGB output pins.  The problem I'm having is
the connection.  Does anybody know were to find a pinout of the Gameboy
Color LCD or how to connect it to RGB?

Thanks,
Michael
