Horizontal Scroll Mode question

Hi I'm experimenting with Scrollmodes and to my surprise I will not be able doing what I wanted. I didn't know that we had to set the same Scrollmode for both Plan using VDP_setScrollingMode(). My game is a 2d Jump and Run. I though I could set Line Scroll for Plan B to create different Levels of Pa...

Re: XGM Driver help please

Hi Stef I see no performance differences while playing a complicated Song or a very simple one. About the tests I done with loading maximum tiles I can between each frames while playing a song, I haven't tested playing sound samples in addition.

Extra VDP Tiles ? more than 1310

Hi I would like to know how to initialize more space for Tiles in vdp ram. I'm sure I already read someone who said he was doing it but didn't explain how to, also it's hard to search in the forum for this kind of info, using target terms are just too much vague.. I already plan my project with a vd...

Re: New XGM driver !

Hi again Stef Thanks for fast reply, 5% on the 68000 is really acceptable for what the driver does ;-P I was hoping it wasn't around 20% or more... probably 68k players. Now, I would just like to understand about DMA and you XGM driver, Can I use DMA + XGM ? I always though that playing music with D...

Hi again ! Thank you very much for the clear explanation on this... That confirm everything I though like it should be.
