Unfortunately, I guess Chilly is right : I've never tested all this stuff on real hardware, and I'm afraid it won't run on actual 32x.

I can't say which part doesn't run though, since, there are a lot of DMA operations here.

In my SuperVDP, I upload the palette from Genesis to 32X. Here's how it runs. 68k side : move.l #$FF4000,a0 ; Source address (Genny side) move.l #$0603BE00,d0 ; Destination address (32x memory map) move #256,d1 ; 256 16-bit words to write bsr DMAupload ... DMAupload: move.l a1,-(a7) ; put a1 on the ...

It even could be true :DDD

It won't be true (pity).

Anyway, it's a humour site, tongue in cheek and so on.

Wow ! What an insanely great topic of knowledge !!! Congrats to all !! Could it be implemented in an emulator ? And if they had brought out the digital video bus to a connector we could have gotten a palette upgrade too. Why ? Or how ? And, also, could it be implemented in an emulator ? A "Mode 3" G...

Well, there are obviously some other constraints :

Hardware Features : 128 Sprites on screen at one time, 2 tile layers, 1 text layer, 1 sprite layer with hardware sprite zooming, 1 road layer, can draw 2 roads at once, translucent shadows

But the goold ol' mushroom does have some horsepower ;)

Hello you all ! Long time no see. I'd like to answer to ammianus Every few months I return to these forums and try to reread this thread, hoping I'll understand better after having learned more on my own about programming a similar kind of demo for a while now. I still can't make heads or tails abou...

Oooh ... naughty !

A little bit of ASM-to-C (et vice-versa) with this compilation of documents I've done, maybe it helps.

PS : pity I couldn't insert HTML :(

Definitely.
And could aim 60fps !!!

Allll right.
I should'n have done any teasing.

I'm still working on sprites for the 32X, and have found that using a NeoGeo approach (everything is a sprite) would work much better thant the tile way.

So, I eventually will finish my NeoGeo-ish sprite engine, and it will be called NeoGeo32X.
