Donovan Watteau 7e3d551321 DC: BUILD: Always disable SCUMMv7+ on Dreamcast (Bug#6008)
With the recent v7/v8 changes in the SCUMM engine, trying to run a v7/v8
SCUMM game is not a nice user experience anymore, because the game just
won't fit in the limited default memory available on Dreamcast anymore.

This is also a problem for some other engines on this platform, but the
SCUMM engine being one of the most popular engines, quite a lot of users
end up burning a toast CD-R on their Dreamcast until they figure out
that only SCUMMv6 and earlier still work nowadays (with some limitations
too).  Disabling v7/v8 from the SCUMM engine plugin should also free up
some memory for a better experience with earlier SCUMM titles.

Compiling ScummVM for SEGA Dreamcast
====================================

If you want to compile ScummVM for your Dreamcast,
you'll need the following:

* gcc-4.6.3 configured as a cross-compiler for `sh-elf'

* binutils-2.18 configured likewise

* newlib for sh-elf : <URL:http://mc.pp.se/dc/files/newlib-1.19.0.tar.gz>

* libronin-0.7 : <URL:http://peter.bortas.org/scumm/libronin-0.7.tar.gz>

* libmad : <URL:http://mc.pp.se/dc/files/libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz>

* GNU make


Edit the Makefile to contain the path to libronin if you installed it
somewhere other than /usr/local/ronin, then run `make dist', and you
should get a scrambled binary SCUMMVM.BIN and some plugins *.PLG.

For serial/IP upload, remove the "DYNAMIC_MODULES" line and just run `make',
to get a static binary with the name `scummvm.elf'.
