(and so could be inaccurate if some V-Int were miss or if they are disabled).

That's a good example of what I mean.
It didnt really come across my mind at the time of writing my post.

-cut- I didnt mean for my message to come across in any way that might offend people. I was merely expressing my frustration with the hardware. As much as i love the sega megadrive, timer interrupts could've greatly improved the amount of logic and code to achieve certain timed events for both low-...

There ARE timers on the YM2612, but in their infinite wisdom, SEGA didn't connect the INT line from the 2612 to the Z80. People still use the 2612 timers in some cases, but it won't interrupt the Z80 or 68000, so you have to poll it periodically. Given most games don't need that kind of timing, nea...

Does the megadrive have any timer interrupts? or does it just have the blanking interrupts?
Either way, Would anyone here have any example of an interrupt function that may repeat at a set amount of time?

Can you check your vRAM? Are you running out of tiles?

I figured this out too. You have to index it to 15 colors to accomodate for transparency if you have any.

Are there any SGDK examples yet?

I got BEEhive working. Are there any examples how to utilize the tilemap and map files generated by beehive?

I use GIMP for most of my work. Do: Image -> Mode -> Indexed... set it to 16 colours, and export as BMP. [s]Yeah, this is exactly what i'm doing and with no success, I might update GIMP and see if the bewer version works.[/s] Nevermind! Turns out GIMP doesn't like giving indexed palettes to RGB ima...

What tools do you use to convert a 16-color indexed image into a 4bpp bitmap?
GIMP can only go down to 8bpp

Wasn't rescomp built into SGDK?
In my experience it doesn't handle duplicate-tiles very well.

Do you guys know any good tilemap/map editors that can export compatible tilemaps for SGDK?
BEEhive is not willing to co-operate at the moment so im looking around for alternatives.

I can't import any tilesets.
Giving my BMP 16-indexed colors gives me an error.

I've been trying to use But it doesnt work anymore?
Has the name for it changedor is it no longer supported?

I remade the rom and the song.
Here is the new version:
