Akin to Retro's thread for specs on systems, I thought it'd be good to compile a list of homebrew communities for any console system, past or present. I know of one only (or can think of one only at the moment ;-) ), and I'm sure you've heard of it, but it's probably one of the best: dcemulation.com So, what communities do you know of? If anybody wants to dev, these are the places to join and discuss! :smt045
Nintendo: http://nesdev.parodius.com http://www.dextrose.com (Xbox/PS2 too) Sega (SMS): http://smspower.org/
I am surprised noone has posted http://www.eidolons-inn.net/ Great Sega Stuff there. and of course http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone8/index.htm OK some random ones: Nintendo 64 http://n64.icequake.net/ Nintendo Gameboy http://gbdev.icequake.net/ Sega Saturn http://saturndev.emuvibes.com/ (& links at bottom) http://www.helsinki.fi/~ammonton/sega/ - Antime's handy site Microsoft Xbox http://sourceforge.net/projects/openxdk/ Atari Jaguar http://www.atari-jaguar64.de/ www.atariage.com - forum a good place for info on devving for ANY atari system... including a great 2600 tutorial Arcade/Neo Geo http://arcadedev.emuvibes.com/
If people want classy individual sites I could list quite a few. It'd be neat to have an official compiled list of sites (that was checked for content)
http://fvring.free.digitartstudio.com/index.php?main=cga&sub=lks Here you can reach 75% of WWW genesis dev-related pages. :-D
Dreamcast: http://s90112106.onlinehome.us/dna/ http://gamedev.allusion.net/ http://ljsdcdev.sunsite.dk/tools.php http://www.thepernproject.com/Dreamcast/index.htm http://www.dcemulation.com/
Another I'm surprised noone mentioned is http://www.segaxtreme.net/, although I've noticed some pettiness towards this site from around here. I say it still has some useful docs at least :smt023 make of it what you will *edit* AHEM who changed my post? I put USEFUL!
I don't like forum descrimination... I was just on another board and had all my threads closed. Oh well. Probably the most exciting things on there in a while, but I digress.
Heh, I noticed that too, on digitpress... They close your topic...yet you're on their list of linked sites...and "digitpress" is bidding on your ebay auctions...they could of just combined them...which they said they "reserve the right to" And how can you not be prejudiced? In the long run though, the intelligent people always find their way to intelligent sites.... :-D
Several stuff by the somewhat famous Loser: http://www.internalreality.com/ Loser's old site: http://www.internalreality.com/index1.html (mostly PSX) Hitmen, for several consoles: http://www.hitmen-console.org/ More PSX stuff: Paradogs: http://dev.paradogs.com/ Padua: http://psx.rules.org/psxrul2.shtml Skywalker: http://www.geocities.com/mike_bee/psx.html Archived Caetla site: http://web.archive.org/web/19991111153125/http://www3.airnet.ne.jp/kcomm/cae/caetlae.html Archived PSXDEV.DE site: http://web.archive.org/web/20020523094817/http://www.psxdev.de/ Sadly most PSX dev pages have gone down :-(
I've got some Virtual Boy homebrew stuff on my site at http://projectvb.vze.com , and http://www.vr32.de has some homebrew stuff too. DogP
