It wasn't abandoned. In fact, there is actually a port of 2.0.4 to the Dreamcast. It isn't a selfbooting CDI, but it apparently works with a boot disc.

That sounds awesome. Can I find somewhere here on this site?

nope, until I fix up the SRB2DC.iso/SRB2DC.cdi build targets to be self-booting, there will be no public release of SRB2DC
 
Can I ask if it is an issue with mkisofs, or maybe the main binary not being scrambled?

Anyways, I look forward to the release, and thanks to all the team members for their hard work on this project. :)

I downloaded, and tested the main binary Alam posted here yesterday.
It didn't work in the Dreamcast I tested in, so I loaded it up in NullDC.

This was the output:
Code: 
Compiled for SDL version: 1.2.5
Linked with SDL version: 1.2.5

I even tried making a copy of the SRB file, and renaming it to a WAD extension with no luck. Seems it can't find the main game file, or the path?
 
was the wad files placed on the root of ISO9600 filesystem?
 
KallistiOS

Stryfe said:
Yes. I assumed it would need to be in the top "cd" root directory.

KallistiOS used in SRB2DC have a few numbers of mounts points
/cd for the CDROM ISO9600 filesystem
/pc for DC-Load connections so it can load files on the Ethernet and serial port
/vmu for VMU access
/ram for fake RAM FS

Any chance there has been any progress on a DC revision? Maybe even a bootable image of the version discussed, regardless of the playability (fps, crashes, mod incompatibility) ?
 
I have a bootable version. It has low FPS and lags, but it works. I don't have the DC keyboard so i can't test certain things on it. :(
Edit: WAIT. 2.0.4 was ported?! Is it uploaded?! Where?

SRB2 was always ported. Just compile it fresh off the SVN
 
If nobody can do the previous, could someone direct me to the source files? Maybe I can find someone to compile it.
 
Huh?! The only version for the DC i found was 1.90.2(?) Wait... I know what! The Windows CE folder in the source! Duh! The DC runs off of WinCE! Why didn't i think of it?

It seems it was basically abandoned after the Beta 4 release.
