My example uses sprites though, because i needed larger letters and both my background layers are a bit busy in the project i applied this to.

Re: Timer interrupts

-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.

Re: Timer interrupts

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...

Timer interrupts

Does the megadrive have any timer interrupts? or does it just have the blanking interrupts?

Re: Beehive - a Mega Drive tile and map editor

Re: Beehive - a Mega Drive tile and map editor
