It needs to be able to NOT respond to 0xA130EC or it won't work with the 32X.

Yes, when RV=1, the 68000 ints MUST be disabled! Period. If a 68000 int occurs while RV is set, it will crash due to the always-on int redirection table. And quite a few things I do in my 32X demos aren't in the devkit because the developer hardware was an older rev of the chipset with bugs. I'm a b...

Ah, you're looking at the CD32X boot code. When there is no cart, the 32X BIOS waits for a special header to be copied into the frame buffer that gives it all the boot info it would have gotten from the rom. After the CD/MD sets the frame buffer, it flips it to the 32X side and sets COMM0 to _CD_ to...

Anyway, the boot rom of the 32x at the end jumps at whatever is in 0x24000020, what happens if there is nothing written there? I think you're misinterpreting the boot code. The boot code looks for a header in the rom that tells it things like where the data segment in the rom is, how big it is, whe...

Yes, there is... it's called - "SLEEP". :wink: SLEEP puts the SH2 in power down mode until an (enabled) interrupt arrives, which will wake the processor. Pretty standard stuff here. Oh, be sure you put the routine that sleeps in sdram as rom won't be available when RV = 0. And no one made dual carts...

In SGDK, a hard reset clears the work ram, then copies the data segment from rom into work ram (taking care of all those preset variables). A soft reset skips both those steps, so preset variables won't have their preset value, and the rest of memory won't be clear. Calling SYS_hardReset() forces a ...

1) Start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_note#12-tone_chromatic_scale Keep reading past the section on 'Note frequency (hertz)'. 2) Yes, those numbers are clearly wrong. The 372 should 672, and the 392 should be 713. The last two numbers are also clearly wrong. The first line are the maj...

Awesome demo! You guys really kick butt when pushing the MD.

128MB (1Gbit) of flash, and 2MB of save ram, IIRC. It uses the standard SEGA mapper with all 8 bits of the bank registers implemented. It uses level shifters to interface with the 3V parts. And that's it. Just a straightforward BIG flash cart. Jorge has a special box he made to flash carts like this...

Jorge is making a few Giga carts sometime this year. I've arranged to get two from him when he does.

Yes, the 32X doesn't have anything like SGDK. My 32X stuff is aimed more at mostly running off the 32X with the MD side just providing controller inputs and access to save ram/rom bank control. If that's fine for the game you want, the example code I provide for the 32X should be enough to get your ...

I bought a Gen2 + CD2 back in 1992. It's sitting on a TV stand not 5 feet away from me. In 1994, I got a 32X for it, and it's all still working fine. I use it for most of my dev checking. The sound isn't as good as a CDX I got later, but it's good enough for testing.

My toolchain isn't designed around other devkits, it's designed around my own examples. I don't know the extent you would have to go to to make it work with something like code blocks, though it should be possible. My toolchain is more low-level and geared towards people who already know what they'r...

There isn't a binary arc of a pre-built version of this toolchain (I don't think there is), so you have to build it yourself. People have done this in Windows using minGW + msys as mentioned here: http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=12858#p12858 Once you have the toolchain built, you...

The manual is online here: http://www.pusher.dk/amiga/resource/manual/ It's not exactly a tutorial, but it does show you how to get started, and isn't hard to follow.
