Very Nice Stef!

Thank You!

Woah!

Thanks you guys Eteream Gigasoft Tiido ...

I'm going to have to start going through this.

The Kid Icraus for the Nes look interesting too.

Thanks again really appreciate it.

Hey you guys anybody can help me out and give me some links to Andre Lamothe books?

Especially on building a console on scratch and his 1993 book of game programming DOS.

Anybody help a brother out here ?

First off, I'm not sure if "programming documents" would include source code. With that...

I suspect it's not really worth it. The development docs for the Sega CD and 32X got leaked quite a while ago and the Megadrive/Genesis is a pretty well understood beast these days. The kinds of details ...

It's so that you don't have to actively wait for the line counter to reach a specific value, but can do other things in the meantime.

H interrupts let you know when a specific number of lines have passed, so that you can change something. For example, in Sonic, the H interrupt handler changes the ...

Hello,

Where can a Noob like me learn more about VDP commands such as producing special effects and stuff.

How much ASM do I have to know to understand these VDP effects?

(A short reply due to lack of time at the moment)

HINT and VINT - horisontal and vertical interrupt, realy work well on genny, in contrast to pc cga/ega/vga hell :)

Sonic3 and many other games use hint for water.

Darn easy to use! :)

I tried Geany ... how ever I am having this error when I execute a build

Example:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl; cout << "Welcome to C ...

Chilly!

Hmmmm ... I understand Library is for calls to functions on the Library mkaing a programmer's life easier [Understood]

Chilly, I am wanting to use Geany with allegro like so ....

Not for Genesis stuff but Windows game programming.

What do you ...

>>If you can get a good deal on a GP2X or a PSP with custom firmware, those will do a better job of emulating the Genesis than the current bunch of emulated systems like the Blaze or RetroGen or GenMobile.

>>Each sprite/tile is mapped to one of the 4 palettes, so each tile can have up to 15 colors (or 16 if you care transparent one*), and each sprite up to 15 colors.

'Ok!

Hi,

Thanks ... that helped lift the dark cloud of confusion I had over level building.

I think my approach to level building is flawed.

Sent you a Pm please read it.
