Bugfixes since 0.4.0: - Fixed bug that happened when the background filenames had special chars; - Fixed repeated variable names when using similar file names: where both 1chr1v1.png and #1chr1v1.png used to produce the same variable name, causing compilation errors; - Fixed a bug where the automati...

Re: SGDK Video Player (work in progress)

Version 0.0.8 uses a newer version of "rgbquant-sms", that allows for faster encoding and much less RAM usage. I made a few experiments with multi-frame merging, but it's still too slow and glitchy to be useful; branch with multi-frame merging experiment: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/sgdk-video-pla...

Re: Megadrive vs Snes Hardware

What really makes the MD faster is the data bus; while both use 16 bits CPU, the MD has a 16 bit data b...

Re: SGDK Video Player (work in progress)

Version 0.0.2 tries to use raster ints to stretch the background vertically; it's still very glitchy. Example ROM for v0.0.2: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/sgdk-video-player/releases/download/v0.0.2/SGDK.Video.Player.Test.v0.0.2.bin.zip --- edit --- I guess the vertical stretching idea isn't going a...

Hello; I am currently experimenting with creating a video player for the Sega Genesis using SGDK. For now, I em just experimenting with what works and what doesn't; there are a few conversion scripts, but they aren't user friendly at this phase (version 0.0.1).

Re: choice4genesis - a ChoiceScript clone for the Sega Genesis

at the moment, choice4genesis isn't capable of using those tricks, but I seems like a good idea for the VN genre There is useful tool for palettes/colors ect. - https://rilden.github.io/tiledpalettequant/ , maybe it's somewhat made things easier for you to get this "magic tricks" up and running :wi...
