Did the Dreamcast SDK come with printed documentation or digital documentation, like PDFs? Can someone get me a list of the serial numbers or IDs which are used to identify the documents so I can try to find them on the internet? I would love to take a look at those docs
Actually, the Dreamcast Development Box came with printed manuals, but you can also find them in their digital form as PDFs in the SDKs. The documents vary under the different "releases" of SDKs (Release 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 Alpha, etc). I doubt they are "spread out" over the net. You will have a better chance coming across a Dreamcast/Katana SDK with the PDF docs included ...
Which SDKs were leaked out to the public? I know that R9 and R10 were leaked out, and also the WinCE SDK as well... Were there others?
Sorry about the misconception, I listed the SDKs I currently have. If you're lucky, you "might" come across the Release 2 SDK for the NEC ARC1A PowerVR board...
What about other SDKs for other systems. Did they come with the documentation in PDF form? Actually I was looking for the PSX documentation, but I was not able to find it... I have a few of them though. I have these documents: filefrmt.pdf - File Formats v4.2 March 1998 libovr46.pdf - Run-Time Library Overview v4.6 August 1999 libref46.pdf - Run-Time Library Reference v4.6 September 1999 3dgraph.pdf - 3D Graphics Tools August 1998 But I know that there were others as well... For example... I also have the devguide.zip which contains the PlayStation Developer's Guide v2.5 1998-05-29, this document is from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe... The thing is that I cannot find them, and I've looked everywhere for these documents: “[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]PlayStation Development Tools Guide” - SCEE Developer Support (on BBS as DEVTOOLS.ZIP)[/FONT] “[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Guidelines for PlayStation PAL Conversions” - SCEE Developer Support (on BBS as PALGUIDE.ZIP)[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ELSPA Anti-piracy screen, required for all titles approved by SCEE (on BBS as WARNING.ZIP)[/FONT] “[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]QA Standards ...” - Technical Requirements for all SCE Territories (on BBS as QADOC.ZIP)[/FONT] But I can't find them anywhere... were these ever released? BTW, I was able to find the Dreamcast R10 SDK on e-mule. I'm going to check out the documentation tonight.
The N64 SDK documentation is in HTML so it can be used on either SGI Irix or Windows. The PlayStation docs may be in HTML, CHM, HLP, or possibly a proprietary format (wouldn't put it past Sony to do that.)
well... I found the N64 SDK 2.0L but it didn't have the documentation... I doubt that sony would use a proprietary format for documentation... I downloaded the PsyQ SDK and it had documentation in PDF format... but it didn't have the documentation that I am still looking for... I'm looking for the documents that I talked about in one of the posts above.
was the programming manual for the N64 ever released? I found the other two N64 documents (albeit older versions... they are for version 2.0i of the sdk)
