I guess I really don't know what Christmas is all about Prince on his throne Fitzy are you ready guys?  I am about to head off to get my hair done I'm going blonder my sister said she's putting extensions in my hair I don't really want extensions in my hair, but like she does my hair So I don't really think I get a say in that anyways I'm just wearing this set from Revolve this coat is H&M guy I've talked about this coat before but it was only well. I got it for 55 I think it's originally like 80, but they always have sales and This coat looks just like one that was like 350 dollars that I had been looking out for the longest time So definitely one of my best buys in 2020. I'm just like such an outerwear girl I love sweaters outerwear boots, you know, then I'm wearing my same element boots that I'm obsessed with I'll also how you fit. I'll also have these linked below But they're really cute and stylish and now I'm not just wearing eggs every day And it looks like I actually like have cute clothes, you know, so we're about to head off I'm grabbing my stuff to go to this one gonna stop at Starbucks first for my sister. Oh My god guys. I got a package this morning I took the dogs out and then I had this package in my front door and I opened it and look at it guys Like are you joking?  You've actually got to be kidding me. This is from Black Hanger B. B. I have to show don't That's ready great Oh my gosh, it's dog's first pair of sweatpants. I can't believe what I'm seeing here. Okay. Wait close your eyes ready. Oh My god, no wait, that's so cute. I know Wait, Kenti. This is what I'm gonna take a Christmas picture in it with the dogs in front of my tree Did you order this? No, it's from it's blocking your boutique. They sent it to me I know They sent me stuff a while ago, so that's how I have my address, but I think I'm actually crying at this Wait, that's so cute. Yeah, so thank you so much. I am so obsessed. I'm also Really excited for my hair to not look like this anymore We need to bring back Red Running Housewife like more yeah That's what you are I Feel like my outfit really Yeah, I have a call today with him if I were to come out with Red Running Housewife something really cool and cute and cozy Would you buy it? Yes Thank you, Tom. I'm gonna give you a gift. I'm list. What? I would Kenzie I would Dude, what's oh bro? I saw this tick-tock that apparently like the government, you know one of those conspiracy tick-tocks but it was about like sleep and it was explaining how Like to keep like mattress companies and like all these sleep companies like melatonin like all that to like keep those people in business They like tricked us and told us that we're supposed to sleep for eight hours straight when in reality We're actually supposed to sleep four hours After so we wake up in the beginning of our day do our little tasks then sleep for four hours So post you doing my morning routine Yeah, and then you do you wake up do your little task again, and then you go to bed for like four hours But just doesn't see proactive. Well, uh, so I looked into it, and I guess that's what farmers used to do. Oh Well, yeah, I guess when you're doing that amount of labor do yeah You were just walking out the stairs. No, I do mental labor Guys the we're still talking it's been days and we're still talking about the morning routine because we think it's so funny Guys Dom is leaving me and it's heartbreaking because just yesterday She was talking about just like staying here longer And then I literally woke up to the nightmare that she had said to me last night And I'm literally gonna be so heartbroken and no one's even gonna like my vlogs anymore. Okay But most mainly I'm heartbroken There is selfish part of me no, but also I'm so sad I'm dude. What am I supposed to at least all like go see my family?  Maybe I'll be back in time really yeah Well, I was just gonna break it to my parents to be like listen this I Need to be back No, but it really is Dom and also just like yeah, no like I need to be back like let's not get you twisted Should I teach Dom how to be a bread-running housewife in a vlog? What is that in tail? I Feel like that's just doing your morning routine again No, you have your home Organizing cute and perfect.  Thank you minus the wife part I watched Jessica Stocksale's video announcing her pregnancy yesterday and like I cried all I want is to be married and pregnant at This point, which I didn't even want kids until I was 30 before and here I am Yeah, I don't know what it is in the past like few weeks I'm like when I have a kid that will be the happiest time of my life like I already know it Okay, ask her how I'm reading this I'm gonna I love John Hi, how are you? Pretentious stuff.  You're better than everyone North Southeast West get out of here I Right now we're going Northwest is the only reason I know Let me turn on my map In all the lights We should go all textiles The cream cream tree. Oh cream cream tree. You can't see it What just came on Jesse McCartney still makes music I wonder if he's single you should sign in the stamps. I must say yeah, I have a girl named Do you know what song this is? Oh? We're going into the salon. I have my laptop Also, look Jamie crinley must book It's not out yet You know me being the avid reader that I am I'm just kidding But I did get an advanced copy because I'm having her on the podcast again one of my favorite interviews I've ever done. I absolutely like love her and adore her one of my favorite people in the entire world So I'm so excited to recording it with her, but I need to read the book.  Oh, it's her My sister has to come over in an hour or so to Just finish like the layers and stuff and I chopped off some of my hair So it's just you know, it's a new day. I started and finished the Jamie crinley my book Like literally right as my sister was about to finish and it was so good I like actually was gonna tear up at multiple parts It comes out in February, but like it is so good So I'm blonde now. Like I said, my sister sells to come to finish the cut at my house We're going to flower child right now in uptown, which is one of my favorite restaurants It's actually like the cutest flower child ever and I'm gonna order probably the entire menu at this point Oh, bro. I'm literally they're gonna be like eating for four I'll be like no just me just two forks, please Like don't worry about us Oh your friend's coming. They look so weird. I'm like she's Yeah, I'm like guys.  I don't know what has gotten into me But when I was reading Jamie's book and she was talking about her surrogate and a baby I'm like every time a baby is talked about I like want to cry like I don't know Like I've always not that's not true I'm not always when I say I'm married, but I feel like I'm like excited to get married one day And then all of a sudden I'm like so excited to have a kid Which is so like I still don't want to have a kid till I'm like 30 You're a liar, dude But I don't know all you talk about is being ready to be married and having to be married Not having no because I want to be married for like years before I have a kid now But I think I saw those red cowboy boots in the store one day. It's cute. Things just changed for me Yeah, I don't want to be have a kid until I'm I don't care. I'll be the old tag I mean, I definitely don't I don't I don't know I mean I was always so like I don't want to have a kid till I'm like 30 something and now I'm like I don't know maybe like 28, but I'm 23 now like So great. I don't want to have how is that possibly gonna happen? Dude, how you know Like I cannot even think about there is not one person on this earth that I would want to be with right now Like at all So I just like cannot even imagine Okay, guys, we made it to flower tile It is just so cute. This is the uptown location. First things first. I got kombucha and look at this Texas blues. I wanted the other one, but this one said texas on it. So I had to buy it I got a global was salmon and then mac and cheese on the side Honestly might go back for more food even though I've already spent so much here. I might go back You You're at vows cheesecakes, which I've been trying to come here for the longest time They were closed obviously with covid and then when I would come they Were I don't know which wasn't open anyways long story short I'm finally getting vows and I love cheesecake. So I'm really excited It's a black on business in Dallas too. So come support. It's right next to halcyon. It's on Greenville guys We have our cheesecakes. We'll eat them at home or we have to go home I'm literally gonna watch the bachelorette and eat this cheesecake. That sounds really incredible Except for I don't watch bachelorette I need to get on it comment below if you guys watch it and if I should watch it or if I shouldn't I wish I could have a watch party like a virtual watch party. You could How do I do that? Um guys, how does she do that? Back home with the dogs this cheesecake looks so good. Oh my gosh It's 4 30 and I'm making another cup of coffee. What all I've done is sit at the salon today Okay, so this actual set is from revolve and it's really cute But the pants, you know when you wear like stretchy pants and they just stretch out there at the day Like they are fully fully falling off of me only because you know, I've been like sitting Like all stretched out and whatever today. I would really recommend this set maybe just size down in these pants Hey, that is not for you. Nope. It is not Just changed into cozy clothes. It's 4 p.m. Or something I just need to kind of decompress in my room get some work done Maybe do a divo or something and watch some vlogmas lives I'm wearing my holly dolly christmas sweater. This is so cute. If you guys are shopping small, especially this christmas I will have it linked down below Hi Hi She loves me. She loves me. She really does So I'm just gonna get cozy Oh, oh my gosh I don't know about you guys but Something about just the holiday season not even when I'm like on break because I'm not really even on break during the holiday season It's actually the biggest time of the year for me Something about it just makes me really cozy in all of my like roles of working on a desk and stuff Just go out the window Love my hair if you guys are in Dallas go to my sister again the cut isn't finished yet, but it will be soon Look at her So I have just been watching some vlogmas vlogs so far today. I'm currently watching katie Watched brook. I watched julian hunter, but when I watched jessica stock stills video Showing her husband that she's pregnant and I cried it literally just like made me sob It was the most beautiful video ever. I am just so happy for them. Oh my gosh Anyways, I'm gonna start editing some stuff right now. Um, I actually kind of like it really choppy Like at first I normally don't like them. I want to really texturize But I'm actually kind of into it comment below vlogmas video requests things you want to see in vlogmas I have so many ideas and I am like so excited It is truly truly about time Hi We just took some pictures. They're so cute. Aren't they fits?  Hey guys, that is it for today's vlog. I hope you guys enjoyed I'm just really cozy in my house. Just been watching christmas stuff I I actually kind of like my hair like this like we haven't changed the cut and I kind of like it Really blunt and normally I don't so anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog I just wanted to say very quickly Um that I am very very grateful for you guys and I've just been thinking at the past few days like I genuinely look forward to pretty much everything I do like work wise Um, I just like love everything that I do and I love you guys and like the community and it just makes me emotional Because I feel like I feel like we really are just like so close And you guys have seen me grow up and I've seen a lot of you guys grow up You know we DM a lot and stuff But yeah, I'm just really grateful and I love you guys and I know that this is not the best here But I hope that vlogmas like makes you feel Good when you watch it. I remember just going through I remember just going through really hard times in the past 10 years even now And just watching certain people's vlogs just brings me so much comfort And so that's like really honestly the reason I haven't started a channel So I hope that my videos can bring you guys some sort of comfort and the anxiety I'm so sorry for my dogs. They play non-stop, but I love you guys so much and I will see you guys tomorrow. Okay. Bye


I have the financial help for having him coming here. Else he would have come and certainly he would have spoken for sure. He would be glad to do so, but unfortunately it was not possible. Maybe next year, hopefully. Okay, so thank you everyone for coming to the open game room. This is the last talk of the day, running with the Godot engine. Thank you so much. Hello everyone and welcome to this presentation. I will be talking today about Escoria framework, which is a Libre point and click framework using Godot engine. That allows you to make adventure point and click games. So, first of all, what is Escoria? Escoria is basically a set of tools and scripts built on top of Godot engine. Godot engine, I will be talking about it in the next slide. This framework aims at providing a basic workflow for a whole team to build an adventure graphic game based on top of it. To do so, it provides multiple tools such as the ESC scripting language that I will be talking a bit later too. And just know that it's meant to be a tool for either for teams to adapt and build on top of it, or for indie developers, indie and also alone. So, what is Scoria is not? First of all, it's not an all-in-one product such as you can know with Visionaire or Adventures Game Studio, which is a complete solution that allows you to create such games. This is not exactly the idea. So, it's not exactly a user-friendly product. You'll have to adapt and know the framework, know Godot engine because you will be using Godot engine extensively. It's also not a make-your-game-without-programming solution. So, it's not like RPG maker stuff that allows you to put your assets and just move them by clicking and dragging them the way you want. It's not exactly that. Godot engine allows you to do so, but this is not exactly the purpose of Escoria framework. It's built on top of Godot engine, which some of you may already know, and if not, you're welcome to our booth in the H building, which is a full-featured engine, 2D and 3D that allows you to create your games. It's not a library because it takes over your entry point, main loop, inputs, shaders. It allows you to create the whole stuff that you put into your game and organize your stuff in nodes into the scene-tree model that you have in illustration here by their team Sweeney from Epic and Rio, who had a little comparison between the way the scene is organized in other engines and the one in Godot. As you can see here, in other engines, you put all your assets in the biggest scene and organize them inside. In Godot, you just create your scene and you split them in sub-scenes, which you split up again in even smaller sub-scenes that you can use in other scenes. So you have scenes reusable and easier to maintain. That's the basic idea. And of course, Godot engine is fully open source and MIT licensed. So back to Escoria framework again. There is already one professional game that uses Escoria framework. It began with the development of the demo in 2012, showing a classic point-and-click gameplay. And just to say that most of the team, for most of the members of the development team, it was the first time making a game. They had six core members and there were 12 in total. Finally, the game was kick-started in November 2014 and it barely made that 30k. And the game was finally published and it's now shipped since about one year on Steam. Just to worry about tools in game development. Every game, whatever the genre or the type, when it comes to a certain complexity, will have its custom tools. That's the case with adventure games. But when it comes to professional teams making a game, you generally distinguish two main groups of people, first the artists and then the game designers. So we need in this case a tool that allows both groups to work together. So we need a tool that allows specialization for the artists and for the game designers and also assigning tasks away from the programmer. So you don't have bottlenecks having programmers and artists or game designers needing some specific tools waiting for the programmers to program them and having to wait for the programmers to finish the job before they can at last start the work. So the programmers have to build the framework first, which is the purpose of his career. Programmers solve their problems with the code and the code has bugs. So we want to avoid having to create code as much as possible during the game development process. Also programmers are 25% more expensive according to Game Acetra, which means it may be interesting to avoid using them as much as possible. As an example, Dr. Mendoza has 15k assets, which means there is a real need in this kind of game, adventure games, for artists to put their assets and creation in the game. So what artists need exactly? They need to be responsible for the creation and the usage of their assets from the beginning, from the blank page to the ending game until the game is completely finished. So they need to have the control of the use of their assets into the game engine. That's the purpose of Godot Engine, which loves that. They have no dependency on programmers, almost. In the case of video game artists, they are not simple artists on blank pages. They, of course, draw their images and textures and 3D models, but not just for the beauty of it, they have to use it in the video game. That's their medium. So they can express themselves on the medium of a video game. If they can, and if the environment allows them to do so, then you get a better product in the end. In the case of game designers, their needs are a bit unclear. They need to access the influence of the game logic, but not too much, because they will add much, much thing, and even more, and the game development will never end. But they need a tool that is complex enough to allow us to surprise us and be able to make things that we don't think the framework or the game engine would be able to do. Basically, they need level design tools to allow them to build the scenes, the rooms, and stuff like that. Also, dialogue writing in the form of dialogue trees and cut scenes for scripting, not as movie script, not as computer script, that is no source code. We want them to write a story and make the game play upon it. In the case of level design, we can use a game engine with Scoria to do so. It's a bit similar to the artist, because they can put the assets together to create and organize the elements of the map or the room by creating a technical specification and keep it flexible. The engine tools allow that. They are forced to learn the tool and it allows them later to keep the edit and test cycle very fast. About the ESC language, this is a language that is provided by a Scoria framework that is used for cut scenes scripting. It's made mostly for the dialogues and the reactions of the NPCs to some actions of the player. It's generally the translation of the game's history. It's completely independent of the engine frames. We don't want the game designer to take care about the technical stuff and take care about how it shows, does it take time, do we have the time, how many frames per second, etc. We don't care about that and they just have to do their job and the technical part is the programmer's part. This language allows the description of complex dialectries. In that, it's simply a basic logic workflow. Since it's not Turing complete, it does not provide any operator, no for loops, no if statement, and so on. It only manages boolean values to do the job and it's sufficient. It's enough easy for them to be able to write what they need and powerful enough to do this kind of adventure game. Just for the story, Mr. Tim Schaefer, a creator well known for the day of the tentacle games and also Green Fandango in the LucasArts games, visited the team members of the Dokman Dozer game and when he was presented with the ESC language had these words while it looks just like scum. So, again about the ESC language, it is really meant for non-programmers. Game designers are not always programmers. They need to control the game logic in complex ways, just to push the limits and allow them for better creation. But not too complex because if you add more complexity, then you can add more bugs. And if you need such complexity, then you should give this task to the programmer itself and let him do the job. But in that way the programmer should just keep his eye on the project and be just a frame around the creators, not be an obstacle. And what everyone needs in the task of creation of adventure games here is always to keep a version of the data runnable at all times. You don't want to have the game created in the editor then start with the compilation, testing, remark the bugs, correct, recompile and so on multiple times until the job is done. So, that's the purpose here of Godo Engine again because there is no such compilation process. Another advantage of the Godo Engine here with ESC Korea is that the scenes are independent with each other. That is, you can run one scene alone. So the team can be split up to work on different scenes and each scene is meant to be a little game in itself and the whole set of scenes put together gives the final game at the end. Just a word about user friendly versus productive question. This framework here was made for a professional team. It has been released in the MIT license very recently but it was meant for a professional team which get paid money of course and they absolutely don't care about having a pretty UI and a magnificent tool that are shiny and so easy to use or steep learning curve and if they do they get paid money to not care. So it's up to you, the programmer, to make it easy for them to use your framework so they can be productive and you don't have to convince them to use it. In such a aesthetics and UI do have a value but the value of the team that creates the game is productivity and not user friendliness. That's why they focused on the creation of the framework using Godel engine and not having a whole solution all in one. To conclude, the tools are very important to allow all the programmers to work and contribute to the game together during the whole process. The programmer has to be just a frame around the core team. It's not the entry point for any task of the whole team because in this case it would act as a bottleneck which we want to avoid. The tools for artists are generally straightforward and most engine provides them so you want to make artists firstly use them and then make programmers out of their way only help them when they need it not having the artist go to the programmer. Finally the tools for the game designers are a bit trickier. They can use the same but it's effectively a middle ground between the programmer and the artist. So you have to find a good balance and that's the idea between the use of Godel engine. Thank you. I just wanted to add that tomorrow and the day after we will be having the first Godel con here in Brussels which will take place at the hacker space near the center of Brussels. So you are all welcome. If you want to join us we will be talking about Godel. Add contributions, talk about the new documentation, crash courses maybe. So you are all welcome if you want. If you have any questions now. Yes? The logic and interactions are very well defined so the programmer being a bottleneck kind of a scope situation like maybe a special scene in the game. Well you don't have to worry about the interaction because they are all managed directly by the framework first that goes into the Godel engine which is the second layer. So you absolutely don't have to worry about it. Left click for example manages the movements of the characters. The actions are already managed also and you just have to take care about the elements that you put on the screen and the actions are connected very easily using the framework. You just have to connect the scripts, the correct scripts into your object elements in your scene and the framework does the rest. My question was actually like if you have any advice on how to avoid this bottleneck in other type games not only when I think about it. Well if you need an extension about the framework right? Sorry can you repeat the questions because the microphone came from the arms? Can you just repeat what the question is? Oh well you're talking about the interaction and the fact that you need to manage more things that the framework could actually do. In this case you can extend the Escoria framework very easily because it's developed in GD script which is the inner scripting language of Goddard Engine. So you simply, you can of course adapt the scripts included in the Escoria framework to fit your needs if it's needed of course. Yes? When you design features against designers in terms of custom behavior or conditions how do we define them for complex immigrants and does it have an impact on the design? No, it has no impact because it's decided concerning the decision of, sorry I'll ask you to repeat again because I almost forgot the question. I focused on the answer sorry. When you add features for the game designers so they can determine custom behavior or custom conditions how do we decide on the complexity and do you have an impact on game design? So does the need of adding the design has an impact on the other member of the team maybe? Do you have to make some systems more simple so the designers can pass with that in a more constructive way? Not really, actually in this kind of problem to make things simpler in the framework the framework is designed to be as simple as possible so you don't generally have to make things different. You can use it as is and you generally will fit the needs of basic adventure point and click games. So if you really have new designing needs it's not a problem, you can add new scripts if it's needed. Yes? So looking at the Scoria kit have a repo it looks like there was this massive first comment five months ago and there's a bunch more four months ago and then really there's not much activity after that so I guess it's kind of stable at the moment So concerning the current state of the Scoria framework on the GitHub repo effectively the Scoria framework was developed first for the dogman-dosa game just at the beginning of the development then it was released and freed open source very recently. So for now no one is working on it to maintain it I intend to work on it and maintain it and add some new features in it I worked personally on a little framework on my own before Scoria was out so I mean I need to add some of the features I created to simplify some of the stuff that Scoria provides for example if you want to define the area of the clickable items you have for the moment in Scoria you have to use mask images Godot engine provides a simple way to avoid this and do everything directly in Godot so you can avoid having to create image masks of your scene to allow the user to select an area of the item plus if this area is incorrect you have to modify this image if you select and define the area directly in the editor then you don't need to remake the image one more time that's the idea of things I want to simplify and other stuff I have ideas on especially for the creation of Scoria scripts ESC scripts which are currently text based I think I'm able to create a tool that allows you to make your dialectries like graph based I created the start of a work from my own project which is not finished yet but I intend to make it and put it into a Scoria framework that was a question the system requirements I think you need a pretty fast graphical workstation to run Godot doesn't need a very big workstation as an example the main developer of Godot engine works on a very low end computer so depending on the complexity and the need of graphics of your production then you won't need a very important configuration it runs perfectly well on very low end PCs so no need for a high end NVIDIA question? not specifically except you're doing very important graphics shading and this kind of stuff, no some of the people who make games for Godot have like Intel HD 3000 graphics on their line oh this is on port graphics? yeah a lot of people are using very low end graphics and almost non-existent graphic cards to make their games it's simply Intel internal chipset works very well okay that is accessible yes? in most or in a lot of adventure games you have a story that goes from point A to point B and you have like a single ending and not like branching paths is this supported in your framework? that's up to you because you are the game designer so you have to design the game the way you want that's the idea behind the ESC language that allows you to create multiple endings if you want depending on the actions of the player say if he finds an item or not he gets one ending or the other that's up to you to design this when you're designing the game at the first time okay yes? that means that if you have those tools in the engine that allows the ability to write some kind of branching scripts you can do visual novels yeah you can do this kind of branching using the ESC language branching like in certain games that came out very recently and visual novels it's absolutely possible to make with the ESC language yes okay guys we're gonna have to stop there thank you so much and thanks very much


Hello everyone, today we are going to discuss on the topic input output and file management. Let us see the learning outcome of this topic. At the end of this session, students will be able to understand the PC bus structure of IO management and overview of the management in operating system. Now look at this diagram, it is an introduction of input output PC bus structure. Here we are having multiple different types of input and output devices which are getting connected with the main processor who is a main system. Here I have drawn one block diagram a typical PC bus structure. So here I have tried to show you that how the different devices are getting connected. Now this is my main processor okay and the CPU and this processor is having the cache memory connected. Obviously because processor will store its required and frequently required data or instruction. In this particular cache memory and with this particular main memory it will be having one control unit and that is the bridge okay. Memory controller and this particular data which will be coming to the memory may be coming from some IO devices okay that is why it is known as PCI bus or it is also known as IO bus okay. The full form of PCI bus is peripheral component interconnect. This PCI bus can also be called as the IO bus because it is dedicated to have or to establish a communication between the system and the IO devices. This is my monitor on which the display will take place so it is getting connected with the PC okay. A PCI bus through controller known as display or graphics controller. Here we are having the SCSI controller. The full form of SCSI is a small computer system interface and with this particular SCSI controller high speed hard disk are connected. So this particular SCSI controller will provide SCSI bus and with this SCI bus the disk will remain connected. We are having another kind of disk it is the ID disk controller integrated device electronics. So with this particular ID disk controller we are having multiple number of disks connected okay. With the local dedicated disk buses we have we are having this expansion bus interface. So where we can have more ports and with the help of the ports we can connect other peripheral devices. So like keyboard and it can be mainly categorized in ports into different head. One is the parallel port and one is the serial port which is shown in the diagram. So this is the normal IO PC bus structures what we have having in our computer system. Next we are talking about the file management. What is the file management is? It is the process of manipulating files in computer system okay. Management includes the process of creating, modifying and deleting the files okay. So there are three types of files. One is ordinary files, directories and special files okay. And in standard mix file, regular directory, symbolic link, PIFO special, block special, character special and socket which is defined by the POSIX personal operating system interchange okay. Now talking about file organization what is a file organization? It is the way the data is stored in a file okay. It determines the method of access, efficiency, flexibility and storage devices to use. There are four methods of organizing files on a storage media. One is sequential read bytes one at a time in order. Second random records are stored randomly but accessed directly. Serial records are entered in the order of their creation. Indexed or sequential file system contains an index to a particular field of each record in a file. File directories, file directories what it is a collection of files which contains the information about files including attributes, location and ownership okay. The information contained in the device directories are name first one is only information kept in human readable form okay. Identifier non-human readable unique tag usually it is a number. Then type which is needed for system that support different types. Then location pointer to file location on device size current file size. Protection controls who can do reading writing and executing time date and user identification that is data for protection, security and usage. Monitoring file organizations are create, write, read, repository within okay. File, file seek, delete, truncate, open, search the directory structure on disk for entry FI and move the content of entry into the memory and close move the content of entry in memory to directory structure on the disk. File operations, what are the different file operations we carried out in the operating system? First one is a create, second one is a write, third one is a read, reposition within the file that is file seek, delete, truncate, open file that is search the directory structure on the disk for entry file and move the content of the entry to the memory, close move the content of the entry in memory to the directory structure on disk. What are the different file types in the OS? OS recognizes and supports file types, helps prevent user mistakes, convenient by automatically doing various jobs after a command. It must define every file types that is allowed and difficult to create new file types, commonly implemented by using an extension name and create attribute used to identify the file type and invoke the creator application program internal file structure can be indicated by file types. So two components are common to file names, one is related to file name, second extension called suffix in the unix, a complete file name identified a file's absolute file name being the long name that includes path information, restrictions on file name with each operating system that is MS-DOS which allows names from 1 to 8 alpha memory characteristic but without spaces most modern operating system do not have restrictions on file names. An extension usually two or three characteristics long and is separated by a period that is dot operator and the purpose is to identify the file type or its contents. What are the different access methods? One is sequential access and another direct access and indexed access. In sequential access it is easiest, the file searched from its beginning until record is found. In direct access method only on direct access storage devices records identified by their relative address to the beginning of the file and in indexed access combine the best of sequential and direct access. What are the direct access methods? Records identified by logical address them relative to the beginning of the file. User identifies a field in the record format and designates it as the key field because it uniquely identifies the each record. Given to the file manager which takes the necessary steps to translate the logical address into physical address that is called a cylinder surface and record numbers preserving the file organization. Next talking about the file sharing, file sharing is very important of files on multi-user system is desirable which are the sharing may be done through protection scheme and on distributed system files may be shared across a network. Network file system is a common distributed file sharing method which is really used in the operating system in case of file sharing is exist. Basic file management system calls yes of course in operating system we are using system call is a way for program to interact with the operating system when the program makes a system call at that time it makes a request to the operating system's kernel. There are five different categories of system calls are there. One is process control, second file management, third device management, fourth information management, fifth communication here we will discuss about the system calls only for file management in the Unix operating system. So system calls for the file management there are four system calls for the file management. One is open, read, write and close. These are the related to the system calls for file management. What is open is open system call is used to know the file descriptor of user created files. Since read and write use file descriptor as their first parameter know the file descriptor open system call is used. Syntax fd is equal to fd is equal to open file o create and o rdwr 0777. File name is the name of the file, mode is used to define the file opening mode such as create, read and write mode, permission is used to define the file permission and return value function returns the file descriptor. Next is a read system call. Read system call is used to read the content from the file. It can also be used to read the input from the keyboard by specifying the file as a descriptor. What is the syntax length is equal to read file descriptor buffer max length. Example n is equal to read 0 comma buffer 50. Here file descriptor is the file descriptor of the file. Buffer is the name of the buffer where data is to be stored. Max length is a number of specifying the maximum amount of that data can be read. And return value if successful read returns the number of bytes actually read. Write system call it is used to write the content to the file. What is the syntax is write fd, hello world and 12. Here file descriptor is the file descriptor of the file. Buffer is the name of the buffer to be stored. Length is the length of the data to be written. Return value if successful write returns the number of bytes actually read. Close system call is used to close the open file. It tells the operating system that you are doing with the file and close the file. Syntax integer close integer fd where fd is the file descriptor of the file to be closed. Return value if the file closed successfully it returns 0 as it returns minus 1. Now after studying all these things related to the IO management. The question you have to answer this question. The question is input or port hardware contains dash. Options are a, bus, b, controller, c, IO port and its registers, d all of the mentioned. What is the answer is all of the mentioned here. Next question dash refers to the logical structure of the records. One is physical organization, b logical organization, structure organization and d is the file organization. The answer is d file organization refers to the logical structure of the records. So this topic is very important for the conceptual point of view regarding IO management. These are the references where I have taken points. Thank you.


proudly we hail from New York City where the American State begins here's another program with a cast of outstanding players public service time has been made available by this station for your army to bring you this story as proudly we hail the United States Army program is a bright comedy of service life best seen through the eyes of a baseball fan that's right sports fans you better get a ticket for a choice eatin the bleachers because today's story is titled spring is here the first battle will be up in just one moment but right here I'd like to kind of pitch a few real interesting words out to you young fellows out there today you young men of America have an excellent opportunity to learn a trailer to assure your future the many fine technical schools of the United States Army are training men in such interesting fields as radio radar meteorology mechanics electronics many many others over 150 to be exact you can become a qualified technician trained to do an important job

success on November 9th 1953 the United States Supreme Court rule that baseball was still a sport not a business this ruling came as no surprise to the millions of Americans who pursue their interest in baseball to the exclusion of everything else to them the only business about America's national game is the business of waiting for another season to come around to these millions the worst crime ever perpetrated on man is winter but spring eventually does come for Americans millions the first crocuses poke their heads to the sudden earth such lesser pursuits as basketball ice hockey an indoor track get crowded off the sports pages by news of sore shoulders rookie performance charts and strange predictions there's a growing awareness that winter is over at the opening day of another baseball season is almost upon us the 416 transport battalion is stationed 40 miles north of Osaka Japan their normal activity is heavy-duty trucking moving supplies up and down the Long Island Peninsula but off-duty hours has spent well let the story tell itself out of way Chuckie boy we gotta put a pair of blinders on this boy so you can't find a plate to save his life okay I guess that's his story again this season no pressure yeah wind it up okay Chuckie boy hit the showers that'll be enough for today so what are we gonna do now I'll I hadn't been transferred back to the states we'd have done it sure this year look the only way we'll ever win that all island championship is if they send Ernie Jones to Japan any Jones yeah didn't you hear he ain't gonna be with the Yankees this year he's in the sun stop dreaming even if he did come here what would he be doing with a bunch of truck drivers what's wrong with truck drivers 416 transport battalion is an honorable group you sound like a boy scout look be realistic the thing we got to find is pitches good pitches scouting around talk to the cooks the company question we don't come up with a guy who can chuck that apple we might as well be playing fiddle to me he's coming he's coming to Japan to the 416 pinch me pinch me I must be great who's coming where Ernie Jones of the Yankees is coming here no no sir help me it's for real I was in the clerk's office counting around and my as you know he's a little guy in there he tells me Ernie Jones of the Yankees is coming here still can't believe I checked I checked how did you check I saw the roster the roster a new personnel assigned to the company and there he was earnest Jones from bugs flat Arkansas biggest life itself bugs flat Arkansas I can't be the same who else are there two Ernie Joneses you know they just don't publicize the fact that he's my place called bugs flat you know I was look we haven't got time for that if he's Ernie Jones we're in those lugs from headquarters company take a look at this guy's fastball no no I never got the New York but I heard that last game at a 52 series on the radio you remember that do I remember I was there I had a seat right behind home plate I could watch the hop on this fastball he struck out the last eight men in a row last night he went through the whole lineup I never seen a guy with more on the board and he's

marshland down in Arkansas did you say Arkansas I sure did not not bugs flat Arkansas well saints alive now how'd you know that they just ain't too many folks ever heard of bugs flat ain't no bigger than a small size P-Patch Marty it's him you're Ernie Jones Ernie Jones of the Yankees now it's just like you two got powers to see what ain't rightly there I certainly am Ernie Jones I knew it was

didn't think I heard you right at the first time we don't have nothing to do with Yankees down our way see great-grand path he fought for the confederate all of the minute now let me get this straight your name is Ernie Jones and that's right from bugs flat Arkansas you say you ain't never played with the Yankees now stranger you're pushing your luck a bit there is folks in bugs flat would have found them fighting words I know it's such it was just too good to be good you're excuse me fellas but I got to be reporting in I take it that long low building as a company headquarters all in any just answer one more question you know anything about baseball but now that's right funny you should ask that because I don't not a darn thing see we ain't got much land down the home and what we do have is either marshland or rolling up and down a hill they ain't nothing you'd call level land but one of the fellas in town he went to Little Rock once and seen the game he come back to bugs flat all hit up like a fever got him and decided we all got to play this new game baseball well sir he sent away to the mail order house and he got a bat and a ball and a catcher's mask and he lined us up on the slope in front of Murray's place and we got the idea right enough and we had a rouser going for inning or two but then you know what happened no what well Jeremy Daniels he was a pitching and trumpet Martin was at the back so Jeremy he wound up and he threw the ball like he was trying to win one of them cupidows at the county fair and trumpet hit that ball carplunk like that well sir it taken off trumpers mighty strong boy and it rode right up the mountain quite a spell to and it landed right in Nellie Chester's yard right next to her goat well sir that goat swallowed the ball meantime trumpet Martin he started to run and he runs so far and so fast he had been seen in bugs flat to this day anyhow mayor Phillips he got mighty upset when he heard about camper and how the goat died so we just don't play much baseball around bugs flat no more besides ain't too much level land oh well I'll be seeing you fellas around yeah yeah I'll be seeing you round find out just back it up a bit well Ernie leave it there it's alive it's spring airs enough to set up and to fly I was back home now more to give me a big dose of sulfur and molasses like it here on Ernie oh yes sir I sure

Arkansas hey she'll see oh hi what do you say money all right that's fine we lost again last night I'm sorry yeah that makes it pretty straight hi Ernie how are things in the hills hi Sarge top luck size but things are bound to pick up you can't lose them all who says we can't but you lie we should be holding up the whole league from the bottom hill Billy if you was only the real Ernie Jones I ain't no hillbilly knock it off Sarge Ernie's a good kid he helped it there two guys named Jones okay she'll see I guess you're right sorry Ernie but hearing your name on the company roster kind of raised my hopes forget I even mentioned baseball Sarge and you know I've been thinking we do a lot of rock hunting well Danny I don't want to be late for chow we'll see you later no now serious Sarge I'd like to help if I can you got me as you like to know how I'm a rock hunter and I'm clogged gable well see I gotta prove it to you prove what Ernie you see down home powder and bullets is pretty expensive stuff so less we're really getting something for the table we go rock hunting you already said that nothing let me show you first I pick up a sizable rock like this now see him to crow circling up there give it you're not gonna hit those I'm sure it up going try and hit one of them here they come you got them yes that's rock hunting I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes you do that any time you want well I don't always hit them square between the eyes but it's mighty rare that I don't at least fuss little feathers I mean my boy all is forgiven I think we got a little surprise in store for the rest of the bums in our league it's very simple you put the glove on one hand hold the ball in the other no no no just the other way around how's that sir fine just fine hey Pete all up your mitt is a target yeah that's fine now when he just wind up and throw find up why did I it's very simple just loosen your muscles up a bit by swinging your arm around and when you feel like you can't hold that ball no longer let it fly the object is to hit Pete's catches mitt just like you hit that crow right between the eyes okay well you mean hard like me just just rear back and throw hard as you want okay sure just like you say right Pete yeah she comes you are listening to the proudly we hail production spring is here and we will return for our second act curtain in just one moment today you're rapidly expanding United States Army needs intelligence young men with ability and ambition men intelligent enough to recognize the vital need for a strong armed force men with ability enough to be trained in the necessary job men with ambition enough to secure the future for themselves and their loved ones well now tell me fellas does this description fit you can you qualify for full information on how you can fit in with the finest you check with your nearest United States Army recruiting station remember team up with the army and you team up with success if the battle of Waterloo was one of the playing fields of eating then most certainly an insight into America's future greatness can be called from the rallying cries in the left field stands at Ebbett's field baseball is not America's national game without reason speed action skill fair play these are all keynotes to the American character and these are all part and parcel of the game of baseball most of all though there's a resolute determination to win just ask any baseball fan who's going to win the pennant and he'll shout the glories of his own team at the moment though halfway around the world from Ebbett's field on the island of Honshu no one is shouting the glories of anything or any one for the game is yet to start sorry I'm scared whoever I'd have an American soldier being scared yeah who all you got to do is get out there and pitch just the way I taught you right there but not too hard you throw them as hard as you want just mix them up a bit you hide ones of you soft ones and if you don't get in the trouble you might even try coven one or two just like I showed you people call them for you all you have to do is throw well okay Marty only I'm only doing this because I sure feel so bad that I ain't the real Ernie Jones the one for that I beat dirt if I'd go out there in front of all the fellas in this silly suit Ernie am I gonna have trouble with you oh yes not okay any boy this is it your big chance I'm not told me there'd be days like this and a boy Ernie you look great out there just great I knew you had it you said it's you sure does he's got them eating out of his hand oh I'm tired don't let down now any boy it's only the top of the six how many more of these here innings I got to go it's only three more and at the rate you're going it should be a cinch I ain't gonna make it I got a feeling right here I ain't gonna make it Ernie you're up 19 now if I just didn't have to swing that big stick up there I just might be able to muster up enough muscle tone to tolerate these last few what you call them in and Ernie no one's asking you to be another Ted Williams who's Ted William if you better get going then I'll just take your time don't even lift a bat off your shoulder okay what do you think such is he gonna do it's a miracle he's come this far tell me if this kid is an example of the breed of rookie the army is getting we got nothing to worry about yeah they're booing him for not swinging a platter he's got more guts than any ten of those guys watching he's holding that bat like a hockey stick he makes a good target he don't turn around a bit he's gonna get winged give Kelly the punch sign let's try and get a man on when Ernie's out of there okay you know that guy's got great eyes I could have taught him how to bat two of that time Marty he's he's clutching his pitching on stand back your bulls what are you trying to do my to my boy his pitching on Marty he says his pitching arm is broken only do Marty when we don't tell G and Ellie to warm up I know what was too good to be throw it just know it hey you look funny what do you mean I look funny I mean walking up and down a car to that way you look just like one of them expecting father's you always see the movies that I feel like an expectant oh you shouldn't you get the news or what's going on in there look don't make no difference he's through for the season whatever condition is on listen you know sometimes I think that's all you've got in your mind baseball he opens your head up that's all they find inside just one home plate I feel responsible for this kid I talked him in a way look Saad he talked himself and wouldn't you know him in his rock hunting hey you're up huh the game come out we won it on cover the scratch symbol of the eighth doctor didn't put a cast on your arm no he says it's just bruised not and go back to regular duty anytime I want to he says I shouldn't try pitching for the rest of the summer though that's that I guess so I mean just wanted to tell you I'm sorry I got you in all this oh sorry that's that's mighty nice of you saying you're sorry like that which weren't no reason to well I know I hadn't been so fired up about any Jones of the Yankees coming you're making me sick Sarge there's having that Yankee here really make that much difference to you and the rest of the fellas yeah I guess it does any no one likes to lose especially this year you see when I heard that the big Liga was coming I bet Sergeant Kawasaki over the headquarters company my whole fellow pay that we would finish out of his guys this year and all cause this Yankee hey if you tour through making Google eyes of each other anytime we was getting back to the barracks well hold up Pete just a minute Ernie my great-grandpop would sure be fired up if he saw some consign getting a drop on me you saying any well I swore I weren't going to tell you this tell me what I mean I can hit them birds better from the nether side from what I'm much better rock hunting with my other arm what I never fuss the feathers from my left it's always right between eyes well I swan sorry that's the way you'll be getting the sound just like the folks down home this is the old ballgame witness wouldn't we're in for sure you know what enough yet sorry just my 35th straight game I see your pepper in there any boy since we started using the other arm again we've been all the late and haven't we alternating switch in arms one game on one arm in the next game with the other we've got no reason to complain besides the season's almost over sure I'm glad of that I thought it never is great just great burning them in a mile a minute even when they see them they can't hit him that's my boy did you double your bets like you said you was going to double them triple them how can we mess the old 17 and stretcher any my boy just flex your muscles we got no muscles left to flex finish this one and you got the whole weekend the rest the weekend yet a far east playoffs no start on Monday I thought we was finished after today any my boy which is beginning we get the oil island under our belts then we win the far east championships in off the Germany for the army world series we got 40 50 games left to play and I got to pitch them all I'm counting on you any my boy I'm talking about you any last of the night burn it in boys what are you single in time for all you've got to do is get this last guy out now we can go home I ain't gonna make it this is unnatural my throwing myself around this way my body is a crying for help I think I pitched my last bit oh come on any boy you you got it in you use your other arm for a while I just did oh this is no time to stand around join you got two strikes on them give them a fastball on the inside we're home it just ain't no fast any I'm counting on you to come through for me alright sorry I'll give her a try while I'm coming through for you not sure like you know whether I'll be able to come through for myself level it's the big one any boy put it right here right the old man boy right I know he says we can go in if we don't stay too long we don't disturb okay hi sorry Pete hi any did we win a serge yeah any we win after that bull count you it took one long bounce out in the center field with the Mario courted and he got the man sliding at the second I wouldn't have made it no way doc says I'm suffering from the complete exhaust he was pretty angry when he heard about my pitching all him game well if you think he was angry you should have heard the captain yeah it all right not even a scratch I just captain claw Marty he was abused and privileges he's got Lewis who works over the ammo dump manager in the team now you still can't see what I've done wrong that's the captain he'll tell you well when you get out of this service well good pitches are hard to come by wait a minute sorry hold it I do thank you and I certainly do appreciate you thinking of me in this way but I've decided that the army is going to be my career for a long time to come besides doc will say and I got the extraordinary eyesight and he says I should be out on the rifle range instead of wasting my time on the ball field so when they let me out of hospital what I'm going to do is I'm going to put in for the range of training I guess is no use trying to talk you out of it is there well

The Dreamcast is a home video game console released by Sega on November 27, 1998 in Japan. September 9, 1999 in North America and October 14, 1999 in Europe. It was the first in the sixth generation of video game consoles, preceding Sony's PlayStation 2, Nintendo's GameCube and Microsoft's Xbox. The Dreamcast was Sega's final home console, marking the end of the company's 18 years in the console market. There are over 624 games that are known to have been released on the Sega Dreamcast console. Perhaps the biggest innovation was the built-in modem for online play. Better still, Sega released its own network called SegaNet. That's a massive two years before Xbox Live. Despite winning early rounds, the Dreamcast fell with the release of the PlayStation 2 and was discontinued in 2001. Sad but true, I never discovered this game until the demise of the Sega Dreamcast. I did try to buy it but every time I was told it was going to be in stock, I got to the shop and it had sold out again. So I kind of lost interest and moved on to other games, but it was a few years later I was at a car boot and they had it there for about £2 and I snatched this guy's arm off. Then I remember racing home, putting it in the GD ROM and absolutely loving it. For me, this is a beast of a game, mad for it. This one reminds me of Convoy. Ah, Breaker 1-9, this here's Rubber Duck. You've got a copy on me? Pig Pan, come on. Oh yeah, 10-4 Pig Pan, for sure, for sure. Bye, golly, it's clean to flag the town, come on. Mercy 6 alive. Look, we got us a Convoy. With the Dark of the Moon on the 6th of June and a Kenwill Pull-In Logs. Cab over Pete with a reefer on at Jimmy Hall-In Logs. Cause we got a little old Convoy rocking through the night. Yeah, we got a little old Convoy and she a beautiful sight. Convoy.  But these games were quite complex and you needed an overlay on the keyboard because there were so many keys just to take off and land. But somehow, despite condensing down the control scheme, dumbing it down if you like, I just couldn't put this down and I had just as much fun with this as all those other games previous. Oh God, I'm one of those adults that sleeps with the light on. I'm just easily spooked. I'm convinced I've seen things in the dark, ghosts have even touched me, and I know deep down it's all nonsense. And I understand the science behind it as well, especially in regards to infrasound and the different audio frequencies. So I have to be really careful when playing a survival horror game like this. And the reason I mention all that is because this game properly spooked me out. And for a video game to do that to me, it makes the list. I must love my punishment. Well, I've played Wave Race 64 and whilst Aqua GT isn't even in the same marina, I still liked playing this game. I think I was desperate for some sort of water racing game. But the two player option is brilliant. And for the time as well, the graphics were a proper, a really nice step up from the PlayStation 1. The music is just there, it plays, it doesn't really get you pumped up. And I've heard some negativity about the handling, but from memory I quite liked it.  If you're new to this channel, you need to know one thing. I love Shooter Much. I didn't read any reviews about this game back in the day. I just picked it up and bought it. Just seeing the screenshots on the reverse cover was enough for me. Now, I did struggle with the control system at first.  But I was able to find workarounds and in the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. One of the things I loved about the Sega Saturn was all the 2D games that you got. And despite the push from the industry to go 3D, 2D never really left me. So one word, nostalgia. Nothing really beats Resident Evil 4 for me, but Code Veronica has probably got a better fear factor. Graphically, it's a massive step up from the first three. Is it better than the first three games? I'm not sure. What I can say is it's definitely as good. There's also some truly terrifying moments, and with that excruciating moments of difficulty, regardless, four or five late night sessions will see you through. Code Veronica on the Dreamcast is still a great place to be scared witless. I don't really remember too much about Bordered Down. I do recall it being a favorite of mine. It's your typical side-scrolling shoot-em-up, in a tradition of maybe R-type, Gradius. It plays like an early 90s throwback, but with graphics from the sixth generation. But it's proved quite the showcase for the Sega Dreamcast, and for a quick fix of arcade action, Bordered Down has still got what it takes to do. This is one I get out every now and again, just to show the ladies. Definitely one for the collection. If you're a fan of the idea of Capcom vs SNK, at the time, this would have felt like paradise. I'm not going to lie to you, it's not the greatest fighter in the world, but it captures the magic of both universes. So it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. So it's that feeling that the little dog has got a chance against the big dog, the little dog being SNK. It is quite unbelievable to think that these two giants of the fighting genre somehow managed the team up, with customizations that are off the scale. It's in my list because you know what, they pulled it off. Charge and Blast, for me, is remembered as one of the Dreamcast's finer games. And I think it stayed exclusive to the Dreamcast. I don't believe it was ported to any other system. I personally think it was magnificent, but for some, it probably came a little bit too late. Is it just me, but this still looks fantastic. Word of warning though, you need to play this on the most difficult setting and get ready for the encounter with Godzilla. Charge and Blast probably is an acquired taste, but an imposing one at that. The reality is, if you own a Dreamcast and a light gun, you need this in your collection. You know what, for me, it feels like Virtua Cop. It's impossible to think how they could have improved Confidential Mission. In fact, I remember playing this and thinking, where on earth are they going to go next with the shooter light gun game? There's also lots of highly unrealistic acrobatic moments, but if I'm honest, it's all the more interesting for it. What's sad is that Confidential Mission is an arcade and Dreamcast exclusive. Now, this reminds me of an old 8-bit game. I think it was called Room 10, but don't quote me on that. The only real difference being that this is a little bit more static. I've heard a few people say, oh, this is like Res, but no, correction, this came out before Res. I quite like the trance soundtrack as well that plays throughout, and the announcer is typical Sega magic. I wonder if they use the Virtua Tennis mechanics on the player?  Without question, Sega are the masters of the arcade. In this one, it's just you and a yellow taxi, with the laws of physics gone awry. It's the equivalence of the Beatles and their yellow submarine. Rumour has it that the lyrics and game were conceived under the influence. On that bombshell, there's only one thing left to do, dust off an old copy and drive like a maniac. Whilst most other 3D fighters focused on the world of martial arts, a title like Virtua on was a breath of fresh air back in the day, especially for the Dreamcast. Yes, despite its control difficulties, you really needed a twin stick. This game is still a winner, and especially thanks to its fast-paced action and the flashy aesthetics. This is the Sega we all know and love, and long live the Dreamcast. The controls are terrible, graphics certainly don't take full advantage of the DC. It's a bit like a B-movie video game, if you like, but make sure you don't play it with the kids around, and also it's best played with the lights out. Fans of Resident Evil should, in theory like this, but you'll need lots of patience to get the most out of it. Yes, it's difficult, but as a survival horror game, it's one of the best on the DC. I read a review from GameSpot, where they describe Kenji Ino as both a genius and a madman. After playing his game, I think I agree. Back in the day of the 8-bits, fighting games pretty much consisted of a male liner. I know there was Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, I think it was Sonya Blade and Chun Li, but I think Dead or Alive, Dead or Alive 2, was the first to represent, give a decent roster of predominantly female characters. Anyway, I'm not sure what my point is here, but the graphics are absolutely fantastic. They really took things up to another level. I know the PS2 was shinier, had a bit more detail with customizable outfits, but this is still brilliant. I'm no professional game critic, but I know what I like, and this is one of those late 90s bad boy brawlers, and if you liked Renegade, Target Renegade, Double Dragon, this will be right up your street. And similar to those games, you'll probably complete it in no time at all, but for me, it's one of those where I keep coming back to it. I play it over and over again, and have done for the last 20 years. I think I just love arcade games, and I think I love it even more when an arcade game translates this well to a console. These are still some of the finest graphics you'll ever see on the DC. No surprise then, Yusuzuki, Sega's then top designer, and the brains behind Outrun strikes again, and continues his love affair with Ferrari. There's something the difficulty curve on this game is really high. I've even heard people say that this game's boring, but I think that's just their prejudice against Ferrari shining through. For me, it's highly entertaining. I personally find it really enjoyable. Lots of fist bump moments. I don't know that much about Fighting Vipers 2, but I think it builds on the heritage of Virtua Fighter. It plays really fast, and the controls aren't clunky in the slightest. Any criticism against this game can be levelled at other games in the genre. It would be great if it lasted a bit longer. I'd still take Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur and Virtua Fighter III over this, but I'm not going to lie to you. Till this day, I still play this. In fact, I'm going to go play it now. It took me ages to click with this game. I don't know why. To this day, I don't know why. I think it might be something to do with the fact that I was probably into more serious type of gaming. One minute on playing Max Payne on the PC and Deus Ex. The next minute on playing Fur Fighters. But once I got over the cartoon look and feel, this is seriously one of the best games on the Dreamcast. I mean, this game is fun, and it looks amazing. Yet another fantastic game on the Dreamcast. If you haven't already, add this to your collection. You might laugh, but I rushed home pretty much every night to play this when it first came out. The only other game I've done that with is Bravely Default and Bravely Default II on the Nintendo 3DS. And that's how highly I rate this game.  I absolutely love Gundam games, and this one is no exception. It's a fantastic mech simulation. Good old Bandai is known for flooding new systems with Gundam games. Some of them are successful, while others, well, let's just say it's an acquired taste. Some people might find this tedious, but those seeking a true mech simulation will thoroughly enjoy. The story is a bit of a dog, and some people have cited that it's a bit of a Metal Gear Solid rip-off, but that shouldn't instantly spell doom. In fact, it's got a great cyberpunk feel about it, and when you're not stealthily running around or hiding down a box, there's a fantastic on-your-bike, grand theft auto-style experience to be had. The musical score is absolutely fantastic, and apparently it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. So they properly went for it, and it must have done well because it spawned a sequel on the PS2. What a game, fantastic. Zombies, you name it, undead. The game can be completed in around 20 to 30 minutes on a good day, which is probably typical of most arcade games. Even if you bring a friend along for the ride, it'll still take you a while to gel and beat it. It's probably no better than all that have come before it, but it's that horror element, I think, that makes it much better, that stands out from the crowd. Hydro Thunder helped the Dreamcast get off to a fantastic start. It was one of the early launch titles, but I completely missed it. I did pick it up later, and it's a superb game with fantastic graphics, and the soundtrack, it's just arcade perfection, and the controls are really easy to use as well. I'm not going to lie to you, the game is difficult, but it rewards you with faster boats and more fascinating scenery and residents. Everybody should own this. Graphics, gameplay, soundtrack, which pulls you in massively from the start. I don't even care that the story isn't well developed. I love owning the Dreamcast just for this game, and it brings back memories of the Sega Saturn and Radiant Silvergun. I think treasure are probably my favourite developers of all time. Icaruga is an original shoot-em-up with a dose of strategy. As far as shoot-em-ups go, this was way ahead of the curve. And like R-Type, Icaruga set new standards. When I think of Illbleed, I think of Marmite. The game has its challenging moments, but I kept coming back for more and more. Long after I thought I'd finished it, much like the bosses. Illbleed is unique, strange, and terrifying at times. It's a fantastic game that I think everyone should play. I think from memory the critics hammered it. I mean that might be because it's a massive cheese fest, especially the voice acting. But for me, I think with mixed results it pushes the boundaries of survival horror. Now although Jet Set Radio Future is a deeper, faster, harder game than the original, I prefer the original. The original had probably the most impact on me, probably due to the attitude of the game. And I'm not sure I played anything like it before. And I'm not sure that there are many games out there that have recreated the skills and thrills of skating. There's nowhere else this exhilarating on the Dreamcast. So gonna try my best not to come across as a load of old waffle here. Now the Last Blade 2 might appear, might feel cheap on certain levels for some people. The graphics could be better. And I appreciate in 2022 that people have probably had their filth for fighting games. But even with this insane saturation of fighting games, and despite being one of SNK's greatest fighters, it remains lost because of flashier efforts. When something's this good, I like to sing about it.  And whatever comes our way, yeah darling, gonna make it happen.  Explode into space, I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder, arisen with the wind, born to be wild. Yeah, sorry about that.  But what about Soul Reaver, a legacy of Kane? It's pretty much a straightforward, combo charged blood bath. It's fluid, well paced, and there's a good balance. There's constant moans and scuffles in the background. Every Corridor is infested with death. I love the malevolent, dream-like quality of this game. It's really hard to leave a high quality game off any list like this. OVS not as good as Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing. But although left in the wake of those games mentioned, Looney Tunes Space Race can't be ignored, and there's some truly spectacular tracks that leave you far from feeling comfortable, and that's what we're here for, and there's a sense of being in this Warner Bros universe. Like no other racer before it, people of all ages will love this game. Oh boy, probably one of the best fighters ever created. Capcom already proved they were the best street fighter. I thank God that I can still perch on the side of my sofa, gripping my Dreamcast controller whilst the red-blooded alpha male in me takes over. Probably more geek nerd, but I think nerds are intelligent, so that rules me out. Slightly embarrassing yes, but I love it. But that's fine, I've got enough high intellect in my life that I can settle for a bit of dumb from time to time. Metropolis Street Racer is all about drifting, sweeping corners, and Western swing. I'll let this guy do the singing. Couple that with a set of challenges and cars that allow you to choose how you want to play. Add to that 262 tracks in total, and there's some that will argue that this is the first example of an open-world racing game, and let's not forget the Q-DOS system, where players are rewarded for racing stylishly as well as quickly. The best driving game on the DC. Mr. Driller is so good that it featured in one thousand and one video games you must play before you die. It's great to play with the family, or just keep it around to play on your own for a quick game or two. It's an instant classic, everyone will love it, and if you're from the 1980s, it's a great way to go back and visit. Anyone who's a fan of Tetris, or fast and frantic puzzle games, I can't recommend this game enough. So a simple, fun, classic action puzzle game, I just wish it was a bit more hardcore. Madden is the bigger game, but NFL 2K2 plays just as good. It's probably aimed more at the arcade casual gamer, because I like it. Plus on the Dreamcast, it's the only real alternative to Madden. Not only is it a great single player experience, but also it's great to play with friends, and it's easily the best American football game on the Dreamcast. It's not difficult to see, while this, once upon a time, is considered a masterpiece. In fact, this is a piece of Sega history, and it still looks fantastic, looks absolutely beautiful. And in 2022, you can still play online. So then, the game that keeps on giving. It's another Sega Dreamcast game, that once you've surrendered to its peculiar world, fantasy start online empowers, engages and rewards to extents that few games have ever achieved. Gaming on the Dreamcast, it gets you. Shoot first, ask questions later in this one. Each time I played Powerstone, it made me feel as if my eyes were being overwhelmed by sheer amount of on-screen visual detail. Colourful sparks of idiosyncratic brilliance shine their light on the Dreamcast. Adding to that visual splendour, gameplay is everything we needed. And it turns out that Powerstone is a surprisingly deep brawler. I've no idea how we got Powerstone 2 on the Dreamcast. This second game is a delightfully risky experiment and feels entirely natural. That's why Powerstone 2 is more than comfortable taking its place alongside the original. It's thoroughly, thoroughly fun. A real guilty pleasure of mine. It doesn't put any major effort into innovation over the original. The controls are identical, and it's essentially the same game as the original. Just more. Back in the day, I could only afford maybe a handful of games at best, so if you had a dud, you were pretty much stuck with it. You could take it back, you know, maybe a few times. But unlike today, where you just wouldn't play it if it was bad. Even if slightly broken, I'd still play it. And I think this is where the Dreamcast changed things. Even the games that were perceived as bad. I thought they were brilliant, they were really good. So I'm probably on my own when I say project justice is fantastic. Ah, fight to the death match. What an absolute beaut. In fact, one of many games that probably pushed the power of the Dreamcast. I remember at the time I had a thing, a 33k dial-up modem. Back then, it was all about getting your Dreamcast online, which admittedly is the ultimate test in testing your FPS skills against other human players. There's also a single player mode and a really good four player mode. It was just cool to blow people up. Raymond, the game might not look like a spring chicken, but the character's animation, believe it or not, is surprisingly fluid and the frame rate is silky smooth. I found myself wanting to continue playing this game just because of the audio alone. For me, I just found it unbelievable. In fact, I enjoy playing this just as much as any of the Super Mario games. It's just a shame then that it doesn't last as long as those. This is yet another fantastic armless and legless adventure. If you're a fight fan, you'll love it. It's the alley shuffle of boxing games on the Dreamcast. Now, the first game was absolutely brilliant, but this took it to another level. Six little letters still spell big trouble. And for the Dreamcast, this is a knockout punch. I personally would love to see this series continued in 2022. A boxing game doesn't need to be serious, but whichever way we look at it, ready to rumble, rocks and rules on the Dreamcast. Killing the undead in Resident Evil 3 is amazing fun.  I'm talking video games here. I was so happy that this got converted to the Dreamcast. Those of you that love horror games, well, you'll already know, but those that don't, add this one to your collection. Meet the illegitimate offspring of Afterburner and Panzer Dragoon. Get ready to shoot. Rez is hard as nails. It's not only a test of skill in patience. Do it wrong. And you can kiss goodbye to a good night's sleep. Saying that, it's one of the best games to play in the dark. Don't forget to turn the volume upload. I doubt Sega GT will make anybody's hit list of best Dreamcast games. I know loads of people that criticise this game and give many reasons as to why it's rubbish, but I don't care. It's my rubbish and I love it. One man's flaming wreckage is another man's driving simulator. And for me personally, and in my humble opinion, I must have. Is it better than Gran Turismo or Gran Turismo 2? Well, no, but it sits somewhere in between. I've never been to Yokosuka in Japan, but believe me, I know it like the back of my hand. Easily one of the best. An absolute work of art. Some say the only reason to buy a Dreamcast. You can even play Space Harrier and Hang-On. Both games are also created and designed by Yu Suzuki. Hello, my name is Ryo Hazuki. You killed my father.  Probably the best game I've ever played. An unbelievable experience. It just improves over the original in every way possible. Sadly, because of the death of the Dreamcast, I never got to play this game the first time around. And when I did finally play it, I had to do so illegally with English translations on an actual DC. But you know what? At least the DC went out with a bang. We love you, Yu Suzuki. Sega, we still love you too. Let's just get one thing straight. The Sega Dreamcast did not fail. It sold over 10 million units. Failed consoles don't change lives. Skies of Arcadia is probably one of the best RPG games ever made. And I personally can't recommend it enough. This one will take you over 50 hours to complete, but I guarantee you'll come out the other side a better person. In the future, nobody can hear you scream over the sound of giant Hawking robots. Set over 500 years into the future, your job is to steam in their Rambo style and rob the latest tech. Although it's a fantastic single-player experience, I can't even begin to imagine how fantastic this would have been with multiplayer support. It's a great pickup and blast. And it's a game every self-respecting Dreamcast fan needs in their collection. Oh God, I remember this one. I think I took about a week off work to play it. At the time, I think the graphics were some of the best I'd seen, especially on the Dreamcast. Now, I still prefer Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Mega Drive, but I love what Sonic Team achieved on the Dreamcast. The speed of this game is unbelievable and it's the same for the second game as well.  If there's ever a Sega Mini on the horizon, it needs Sonic Adventure. Oh my God, two amazing Sonic games on the same console and it failed? That is such a shame because this console and its games deserve better. It's such a shame that people opted for a DVD player instead of buying this wonderful console. But talk about going out with a Sonic Boom. This is one of the best Sonic games ever. Once again, Sonic Team lays down the blueprint on how to make a fantastic game. Well, it's the Dreamcast game I play the most. Still play. So in that sense, it's probably my favorite. It's one of those where it's easy to get into. You put the Dreamcast on the map early in terms of graphics and for a while, this was probably considered the best 3D fighter on the planet. For me, it's the ultimate casual fighter where you can just dip in and out. Well, playing this takes me back to the old comic books from my youth. Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can, spins a web any size, catches thieves just like flies. Look out, here comes a Spider-Man. Here comes a Spider-Man. Is he strong? Listen bud, he's got radioactive blood. Can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead. Hey there, there goes a Spider-Man. I definitely think this is my favorite Street Fighter of all the series ever. As far as I can make out, the arcade and the Dreamcast version are identical. To get the best out of this though, warning, the Dreamcast controller just isn't up to it. It just goes to show that the Sega Saturn was a 2D powerhouse and the Dreamcast is a 2D and 3D powerhouse. So we had to wait, but we got there in the end. So whether you pick this up on the Sega Saturn or the Dreamcast, this is a must for your collection. The graphics in this game are a mixed bag. One minute they work and the next minute they don't. And that's mainly due to collision detection issues and some absolutely shockingly terrible slowdown. It's no crazy tactic that's for sure. So why has it made the list I hear you asking?  It's not just about racing, it's about being able to destroy absolutely anything. So this game makes the list just for the comedy value. Well this one hasn't aged well, which feels really odd to me because this was one that I used to show off to my friends when they came around to show off the power of the Dreamcast. But I still love it and it reminds me of all those 2D squalling fighters that have gone before it. Only this time in 3D. There's no question about it, it's definitely a bloodbath of the game. But that's not its only charm. It's a beloved upgrade of what we used to experience in 2D. I like the first Tokyo Extreme Racer, but the controls didn't feel quite right. Fast forward to Tokyo Extreme Racer 2, not only have they improved the controls massively, they've also improved on the gameplay. There's more cars, there's more track, and a phenomenal amount of upgrade options. And for those who get it, it's a masterpiece. I'm not even sure today how good this game is. And I don't want to insult it by saying it's the best DC Racer ever. I'd never even heard of Ultimate Fighting Championship until I bought a DC. But thanks to this game, I'm UFC's biggest fan. It did take me a while to get into it. Yeah, a big steep learning curve. And it's definitely one I keep well hidden from the kids.  This is one of those games that should come with an 18 certificate. Boxing fans and wrestling fans should really enjoy this. So then, the most aggressive game on the DC. Now it's probably a bit cheeky to list this one because it came out really late. Maybe 2005, 2006. But I kept my Dreamcast console under the TV. And whilst it's not under the TV today, it's still within reaching distance, alongside my Sega Saturn. But this game, without question, is a thing of beauty. It's also the best shoot-em-up on the Dreamcast. And trust me, that's some achievement. I'm a sucker for FPS games on the DC. I've even played Half-Life. And whilst that's brilliant in the early stages, once you get outside, it's unplayable. So sad. I also liked Soldier of Fortune on the DC as well. But that hasn't aged well. To have Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament on the same console, well, that's everything I ever wished for. On the DC, I can't think of another game that set my pulse racing in the same way that Unreal Tournament did. I love watching things blower. I especially liked Destruction Derby, Destruction Derby 2 and Demolition Derby as well. There's actually more to this game than meets the eye. There's lots of secrets hidden throughout. The vehicles look cool. They're armed to the teeth. And the graphics to look at even now are really good. Also, let your other half have a go. It will make them a better driver. The other thing that's amazing about this is the four player mode. And 18 characters to choose from. All with their own stories. Now graphically, Virtua Fighter 3 didn't blow me away. But it's the rock solid gameplay where AM2 have decided to focus all of their efforts. Now, it's a better two player game than it is a single player. But you'll need the single player to hone your skills if you're to be any good at playing two player. But this is a deep fighter. And I know it's one of the early launch Dreamcast titles. So when you consider that, it's a really good arcade conversion. So definitely one for every collector. Four players. Yep, four players. If you like tennis, it's not only the best family action game on the Dreamcast, but it's also a wonderful single player experience. Quick question for you. Does anybody know if there's been a tennis game since that has bettered Virtua Tennis? Now don't say Virtua Tennis 2 because I don't think that was as good as this. And to think though that this was Sega's first attempt. First attempt on the Dreamcast and they did this. Now for those expecting Smackdown, you'll be sorely disappointed. If you want the best looking wrestling game ever for that time and simply want to beat up your mates, then this was the wrestling game for you. As an arcade game, it serves its purpose. Also, why have four men in the ring when you can have nine on the Dreamcast? I mean just look at this game. Look at the detail in the graphics and everything that's going on. You're looking at a game from the year 2000.  Well, we've reached the end of this video. Apologies in advance if I've missed any of your favorite games off the list. It would be great if you leave a comment. I'd definitely like to know what your favorite DC games are. I've missed Outrigger off the list which was absolutely brilliant. Chuchu Rocket, that was a good one as well. Space Channel 5. Oh god Bomberman was a good one. There's just too many great games on the DC to list them all. And speaking of great games, Zombie Revenge. Another great arcade conversion. Until next time, bye!
