Hooray! Dreamcast demos! (hope they'll run on an NTSC dreamcast...)
By the way...
Since 2oo1 (the year "Variance" by Haujobb was released) there were some marvelous improvements in the Dreamcast development tools.
KallistiOS ("KOS" for short) is the one and only open source and free development tool for the Dreamcast, which doesn't use Sega libraries and so it's 100% legal to program, produce and sell demos / applications / games which were made with KOS.
Here's the official website of KOS: http://gamedev.allusion.net/softprj/kos/
Additionally KOS is even more powerful then the official Sega Katakana devkit!

freeze: you mean they acctually got KOS to work at last? Last time i used it for some demohacking (~2 years ago or so) most stuff in it was completly crap and falsely written ... Still they wrote the feutures on their site.. "supports blablablabla" then when we investigated it out many of the "supported" things where empty function bodys and assembler files that really *couldnt* produce such stuff as it was described to do ;-)
even the author of some of the asm files (adk/napalm or something) said those files where to no good and said he THOUGHT they had fixed that >D
oh well.. ;-)

Well I can't tell you any further details, cause I don't have a clue about it exactly. :(
But I think it has improved, because even a commericial Game (www.feetoffury.com) was done with it.

to claim something is better than the "professional" counterpart is a VERY bold claim and you'll better know what you are talking about.
i worked professionally on dreamcast games and there wasn't much problems with the DEVKITS.
if you just download the official sdk and try to make stuff you won't be amazed because you'll basically get some libs and stuff.
however if you have the REAL dev hardware you're into an entirely different world, SCSI connected devhardware with gdrom emulation thru a harddrive. a real debugger,etc,etc.
comparing your stolen official libs without dev hardware ofcos will show that whatever is hacked together at home is better. but if you have the hardware it's another game.
(i haven't actually tried kos but it sure as hell needs alot to be able to back up those kinda claims, some of that stuff includes atleast some months time worth of work alone. i'm gonna try out kos now that i got a dreamcast at home again.)

KOS definetly seems to rock..
Just look at the dozens of Emulators, Ports and Homebrew Games developed with it during the last years..
Respectz for that!
Hope to see some guys releasing some cool demo again on the DC..
C ya at TUM.. :)

I have the DevKit HardWare and the official libs.
It is really great but the problem is that the DevBox can get damaged very easily.Almost everyone i know that has one,they seem to have problems with video output going dead.For a while i was checking it out by grabbing the framebuffer in screenshots,in order to find out what was going on...
Anyway,you can still use the official libs with a stock DC+BBA for better upload speed.
Whizter,did you have the same problem when you were working on it?I hear it was a pretty common problem.Do you now the workaround?Mine is still under repair:(
