DCTile keyboard support ver. "1337"

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 5:14 pm

I was working on the DCTile demo with keyboard more today.

After a series of unfortunately stupid events (like me forgetting to load the font), this is how it was concluded.

We got the PVR font to work because Tvspelsfreak figured out that I was linking in the wrong order in my makefile.

Then, we kept getting really freaky results where the text would start out right then slowly get distorted as it went on.

Then, Tvspelsfreak busted out his image font he ripped (from DOS console I think?). Anyway, he so graciously has let us use it. It's perfect for NEStix.

I compiled with his library and made it draw with the keyboard. So Ph33r!

All the onscreen text was typed manually with my DC keyboard. It works perfectly and even a completely full screen has no lagging affect whatsoever.

Is that font not awesome?

I told you image fonts where the way to go, but noooo, you didn't believe me.

I told you the DC keyboard wasn't usless, NO you didn't believe me.

I told you console programming was the best, but NO you didn't believe me. (look who bought a DC NOW?)

I told you the VMU was the best memory card ever, but NO you didn't believe me. (Look who wants to make a robot with one)

What now foo?!

...... I seriously think you have the wrong guy... I really don't recall dissing that stuff... and most I simply stated that the DC keyboard is impractical, and I still stand by that.

You're making me look like a foo, foo.

JS Lemming, I understand and accept that you might not mean what you said and that you may of had a change of heart (of course you did, who could own t3h DC and not love it).

But I'm also saying that you're going wacko on me and I stand by it. Are you just joking? All YEAR last year you did nothing but diss every aspect of the Dreamcast, and now you're trying to act like you're innocent. I even remember this quote!

Me: "The VMU is the greatest memory card ever, it even has a freaking screen! Does your lamecube have that?"
You: "The VMU is garbage. The GC memory card didn't have to have a screen that served no purpose, etc."

JSL, you dissed SA2, you dissed the DC hardware, you dissed SEGA, you dissed everything. Man, you must've either gotten hit in the head or kicked in the nuts REALLY hard to of not seen that.

And I don't mean to be rude, but as far as you saying "The keyboard is impractical" goes, since when did you know crap about DC? So suddenly you know that nobody has a keyboard? You'd be amazed how many DC owners really do have it.

It's not like the game will REQUIRE the keboard. Or would you rather have some half-assed thing that doesn't support an awesome peripheral because you don't think that many people have one? There is so much you can do with it even if it isn't directly in the game. It's alot cooler.

Perhaps you're just mad that you don't have a DC keyboard...

Thats not even funny... You must of been the one who got mentally hammered. You must of dreamed all that just because I didn't own a DC, you must of been like, hey he doesn't have one... he must hate it.

"The VMU is garbage. "

All right you KNOW I did NOT say that.

"since when did you know crap about DC?"

If I new crap about the DC, why do you think I've been asking for your help for the last 10 days?

If you think your funny by making it look like you converted me to a DC freak........ huuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh... whatever.

BTW have you mailed that cd?

Post by **Falco Girgis** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:29 pm

Yes, it's been mailed.

JSL, you've seriously got something wrong with you. SERIOUSLY. I am 100% positive of what you said.

Welp, I have absolutly no recolition of that. I must of been sniffing the PE locker smells too much. O well.

Oh, and thanks for FINALY sending the CD.
