Dreamcast Development

Bellow are some personal Dreamcast/VMU projects and Dreamcast development tools and resources.

Resources

To get started with VMU development, I recommend the following resources (in no particular order):

Waterbear - A VMU Macro Assembler/Disassembler by Wtetzner.
ElysianVMU - A highly accurate VMU emulator and debugger by Falco Girgis.
VMU CPU Opcodes - A list of most of the VMU Opcodes hosted by Marcus Comstedt.
VMU SFR Reference - A list of the VMU SFRs, also hosted by Marcus Comstedt.
VMU SFR Mapping - Premade mapping of the SFRs to memory addresses. Include in your source so you can use SFRs by name.

Projects

My Dreamcast VMU projects

LibPerspective
A simple drawing library for the Sega VMU. Released January 2019.

Perspective uses VMU WRAM as a frame buffer before drawing to XRAM. It comes with simple background and sprite drawing macros. The macro system is designed to be used with the Waterbear assembler. It also comes with 5 short demos which can be scrolled through with the A Button.

Special thanks to Nyrator, who created many of the beautiful demo graphics.

NvmU
Released for the Dream Diary Jam 2018.

Inspired by my Dreamcast interest and overlap with a friend talking about the Yume Nikki Dream Diary Jam, I felt like a NASU clone could be a good entry into VMU programming. Created in the span of a few weeks, I've reached the goals I set out to achieve.

Special thanks to Nyrator, Saturn, Bubsy, and all the people of the DDJ discord.
