Well, it depends. Some lodges have nearly 33, some stick to 3.

Anyway, I'm with Sik on this one.
Write stuff that brings value to other members, THIS would be our reward

Thank you very much. I've always thought this was much needed ^^

Happy birthday to us ^^
Thank you Kan'

I use the asmsh.exe to assemble my SH2 ASM files.
Unfortunately, the .align directive padds with "0000" (Illegal instruction) and does not allows you to specify the padding value (.align alignment, value).
So, I've written this macro :
ALIGN_NOP macro
.arepeat *%4/2
NOP
.aendr
endm

Then, just ...

Of course, of course, I know.
I just wanted to drop the specs.
I was thinking about Kaneda line :
... i'll like to know if a FPGA (or a SoC) version of Genny is possible ? ...

In this "Retro VGS", in what I thought was related, the ARM would be idle, while the FPGA would be the actual Genesis ...

HAve you guys heard about retro VGS (http://www.retrovgs.com) ?
It's an ARM Cortex 8 (single core, 1GHz) coupled with a 49k EL FPGA.

This thread makes perfect sense.
Especially when you see Analogue Interactive releasing a $500 - gorgeous - NES.

Just for the record, why not ?
What's to hate about more ram, more vram or more colors ?
Compatibility ?

Can't we use the VDP status to guess line number ? Is it not precise enough ?

@Kaneda : Good luck, buddy ;)

Hello you all !

In EASy68k, you can use the character "*" as a reference to the current line number. For example, the instruction
ds.b $2000-*
will reserve a space, padd, from the current line to the $2000 address.

Would any of you happen to know if there is a similar way of doing it with our ...

I think it would be 128 x 32, 64 x 64, or 32 x 128.

Oh my !
I didn't know this option.
I gonna try it as soon as I get back to home !
Thank you notaz.

Truth be told, this "%" is why I picked @plee (thank you again SO much !!!) asm.exe firsthand instead !
