Re: 31-Color Dual Plane Images

Nice technique :) We used it in Masiaka, our Megadrive demo release at EVOKE 2017 : https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=71543 It works really well on image with distinct clusters of colors. In the opposite situation, usually with digitized live sources, it needs lots of VRAM. Some R&D could be done...

Road to Valhalla by Julien JDM - Bounty/Banana [Megadrive version]

Dear all, Here is an adaptation of the original animation created by Julien JDM (Bounty/Banana) called "Road to Valhalla". It was downscaled to the specs of the Megadrive, then compressed to fit on a MD cart, thanks to Gligli 's amazing audio/video compressor . In the end, here is 1 minute of fullsc...

Hello, Here is a demo/slideshow by Resistance, released in 2017 at the Alchimie 17 demoparty.

GCC version VS performance

Dear all, with a fellow MD coder, Gligli , we did a couple of quick experiments with the latest GCC version that could work with SGDK. Gligli took one of my code snippets (a classic 3D starfield, sprites-based), and tried to compile it with GCC6.3.0/Binutils 2.24). With virtually zero changes to my ...

@SegaTim : that's "OLDSKOOL GRAPHICS" rules that you are reading (not oldschool demos) :)

VIP 2017 Invitation (demo by Resistance)

Hi ! As the friends of Popsy Team are organizing a demoparty next month , I created a small demo in the old tradition of "demo invitation". It was done really quickly by assembling a series of snippets I had on my Github. Some may recognize a piece of the sprite benchmark from SGDK. The 'donut' part...

Re: Problems with Highlight Shadow Mode

Very interesting discussion, thanks for the technical explanation! The way sprites are linearly processed absolutely makes sense, considering the age of the hardware. I wouldn't say it is *that* limited, though. Admittedly, sprites cannot mutually overshadow. But a series of game sprites can easily ...

Re: pixels are not displayed

Where is the BMP_init(..) call ? I wanted to make effect per-pixel Plasma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMfGiSZePXk&feature=youtu.be but even random color 100*100 filled at a rate 2 fps. Maybe you are expecting too much from a 7Mhz CPU with a tile-based framebuffer and no real chunky mode :D The ...

Re: How do you get assembler output from GCC in SGDK

Thanks dudes. Alas, none of the above seems to work on my SGDK version. Probably, I'm not using these option the proper way. I finally find a working alternative here : http://www.systutorials.com/240/generate-a-mixed-source-and-assembly-listing-using-gcc/ I dump all the ASM source code directly fro...

How do you get assembler output from GCC in SGDK

Dear all, I'm trying to obtain the assembler code generated out of my .C files by GCC. The aim is to understand how my C code is translated into ASM and maybe find some way to optimize certain critical parts of my code. The " stackoverflow" thread here mentions the -S option, that works when used in...
