Jump to search
It's possible to develop in Ruby for the Sega Dreamcast using the mruby implementation. The proof-of-concept was made by Yuji Yokoo back in 2019. This is experimental and a lot of features are missing/not working/not tested (e.g. debugging).
Prerequisites
You should have a working KallistiOS environment. Also you need to have rake and bison installed.
Installing prerequisites on MinGW/MSYS
Install RubyInstaller (if XP : 2.0.0) then add it to the path. Install bison in the MinGW Get program
Installing prerequisites on MinGW-w64/MSYS2
pacman -S rake bison
Setting up mruby
Open a Shell and type the following:
cd /opt git clone https://github.com/mruby/mruby.git cd /opt/mruby cp examples/targets/build_config_dreamcast_shelf.rb /opt/mruby/build_config.rb make
This will generate all the required files, the -lmruby is now available
