WHOO!!!! This is an actual hardware capture of @SonicFreak94's INCREDIBLE port of #SonicMania to the Sega #Dreamcast, compiled with the latest SH-ELF-GCC14.1.0 toolchain, running on the tip of the KallistiOS SDK's master branch, streaming in assets from the virtual filesystem over the network, capturing stdout/stderr from the DC! Running like a boss! We got @SonicFreak94 showing us around the app-level code he beautifully ported, me on SDK/OS duty, making sure we didn't break anything with all of the new features and commits, and @EndoOleg on compiler duty, since we found an ICE with GCC14 getting pissed off over some stateful C++ lambda in the render path... Eggman is so screwed. DREAMCAST COMMUNITY, ASSEMBLE!!! #retrogaming #gamedev #cpp
Fun fact for Sonic's Bday! "Lagoon City Zone Act 2"'s theme derives from a demo I created for a proposed "Hidden Palace Zone" in Sonic Mania. The idea marinated for 7 years, matured, and finally found a home in "Sonic Superstars" last year. This is the 2016 demo! I'm happy that the final version was so well received by the community!
