I've also had lengthy arguments with "professional" software developers over the speed advantages of testing for 0 as often as possible instead of testing for an arbitrary non-zero value since testing for 0 is built into all CPUs by default. This is a habit I've gotten into anyway, since I use 0 as...

Ok here's an updated version with better comments, all magic numbers defined using EQU, and a simple V/H scrolling example: https://pastebin.com/FfaVsrFm I should add a disclaimer at the top saying it's for learning purposes only and may not be the most performant or organised code. I'll continue to...

Commands: 100000 – VRAM Write 110000 – CRAM Write and should be: Commands: 000001 – VRAM Write 000011 – CRAM Write Oops, looks like I just wrote the bits from the wrong end. BTW got stuck cant make planes scroll for some reason :( , would you expand your new guide? Yeah I'll add to that snippet and...

I personally thought the forum was hacked first, so the important thing to me is that there was no harm in the end. Closing down the forum for one week might be a little overreacting but I can understand Kaneda's stressing out and being "pissed off" when he has to handle childish drama between memb...

Is this generally, for a game, or for something very high demanding like an algorithm, FMV playback or demo stuff? Its quite a wide topic with many starting points. If we're talking low level optimisations then the Amiga community have some of the best answers, a few examples: http://www.sega-16.com...

BIG SHIPS!

This looks excellent. Any more details? What language/tools/team members/plot/features?

This is EXCEPTIONAL stuff!

Are the enemies/weapons/items drawn with the same raycasting method as the environment? The style is consistent, they don't stand out as "sprites" like in other versions.

i successfully recompile it using visual studio 2010 ;) heads over https://github.com/pascalorama/megadrive-studio This code is from 2005... so i was a bit ashamed to release it Latest version support the char logging of GensKMOD and displays IO and DMA in the log windows Can not wait to see any ne...

Yeah they're the ones that gave me trouble, but other users have been praising them as rock solid with UMDK, so there must be another subtle difference we're missing. Do you have any other MDs to try out? Post your findings here and see if one of the hardware devs has any insights (I'm a software gu...

I keep getting asked to re-upload my Hello World sample from my blog, but it was a learning experience riddled with bad practices so letting it circulate further wouldn't do anyone any good. 5 years on I'm now experienced and would like to rewrite every article into proper tutorials, but as a stop-g...

Do you know which MD board revision you have?

I've been keeping a record of which MDs show this behaviour: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Cooking on gas!



Let me know if you ever get the source up, I'm eager to add to this!

Can't get it to run my ROM though, it just blats the code window with illegal instructions. Do I need to do anything special? uber weird ! is the starting position in your header is different than $200 ? is the rom padded ? Yes and no :) The entry point is arbitrary, depending on how it's assembled...

surely because you have a .map file in the same folder as your rom (and with the same name). I don't use COFF ;) Ahah! Yes, I do indeed! and the most useful feature for me , is that you can have a breakpoint using GensKMod breakpoint method : ********************************************************...
