Using multiple variables for offsets is a bit wasteful, as is making them all u32. :D But if you have ram to burn, it's not a big deal.

Another thing to remember is that if your rom is >2MB in size, enabling the save ram kills any rom above 2MB until it's disabled. Never put save ram code in the ...

here is my mini tutorial of how I achived to use save with sram
(I can edit it, if someone find something wrong)

thanks to Chilly Willy, SIk, Stef and cloudstrifer.

1) to activate the sram save in your game, you should go to folder src/boot and look for file rom_head.c
you will find lines ...

I think I figured out.

I made the first offset 0x0000, then the next.one should be +256, as I saw that 1 byte is like 256.

So I also may learnt that 1 byte = 1 u8 variable.

As I see sik wrote that F in the 0x7FFF kind of number, it should be base 16.


Totally wrong. A u8 variable is an ...

SRAM works in gens and fusion now, but wont work in blastem.

dont know why.

is there some init command to be made? some variable to adjust in rom_head.c file?

You know how you have 32KB worth of SRAM, right? sRamOffSet is the location within SRAM.

sRamOffSet = 0x0000 would be the 1st byte, 0x0001 would be the 2nd byte, 0x0002 would be the 3rd byte, etc. (up to 0x7FFF, the last byte).


I didnt know about that.

So I just have to use one sRamOffSet for ...

It's really simple, offset is just the address where you want to write in SRAM but the restriction is that you can read/write only 1 value at once.
Did you tested ? that should work :)


I did what cloudstrifer said. I made the first offset sRAMoffset = 0x0000, then the others I use sRAMoffset2 ...

I don't know if it's the best way to do, but it works.

Code: Select all

u32 sRamOffSet = 0x0000;

sRamOffSet ++;

This was my main doubt, how to get another values for sRamOffset. Thanks. I will try it.

SGDK uses SEGA SRAM mapper so it assumes base SRAM address to be 0x020000 and just require an offset (that is why the argument is called offset and not address).
So in your case just use offset 0x0000.
Also don't forget to enable SRAM (SRAM_enable()) before trying to read/write from/to it, then ...

really nice G-ZERO demo!!

Awesome.

irmãos Aratu reminds me of Altered Beast with comical graphics.

Shaolin Carcará reminds me Ghouls 'n Ghost, but with a Shaolin monk. Very good use of the MD's palette!


thanks!

the new demonstration version is published! http://nemezes.itch.io/aratu-brothers

12 october I will be releasing a new demonstration version of this 2 in 1 game: Irmãos Aratu + Shaolin Carcará.

here is a preview video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AoktRO5bmU

If you go for about US$ 2000-3000 you may achieve this goal using indiegogo.

I suppose the game is 100% done, so people may support it. If the game wasnt done, it would be a problem to achieve this goal.

You may provide a demo version, maybe with the first stage.
