    Can anyone confirm the Dreamcast dev computer setup(s)working with Windows 7 or Snow Leopard? Or working on any version of Windows running inside OS X via VMware(or another popular virtual machine)
    I'm new to this.. I just want to know if I can develop Dreamcast programs with my new Mac Pro before I buy all the dev stuff.
    :)
    Thanks!
    and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    I've done the upgrade to Win7 64bits this week-end, and I can confirm that the Katana SDK programs don't work with that OS & the current version of FrogAspi.
    There are two problems:
    - drivers for your SCSI card. If you have an Adaptec 2940, Win7 won't recognize it. You will have to install compatible drivers (this worked for me)
    - Programs like Codescape, DACheck, ... that communicate with the devkit hang due to missing aspi drivers. The current version of FrogAspi doesn't change anything to this, so I've started my own version of a wnaspi32.dll replacement. I'll post a complete "how to" when I have something that can be released.
