Man, like other fans, i've been waiting for a release since the early stages :D Good job :) I like the way you did fading when moving the sprites and how menues are done :D I wish you finished the fight scene , looks promizing with mirrored background :) Also, i'm pretty sure that coding an AI is a ...

How good they are? I think they are very good. As i said, MDPRO software is a bit doggy... Exept that, if you have EPP, it will be perfect product. Megacart flash 2MB in 20seconds from computer and less than 1 minutes from megacd. Tototek's 64M flash a bit slower... maybe 30seconds for 2MB? :) If yo...

Hi, "I'm thinking about the 32MB one with case (I'm not interested in the 32X, so I just need the regular edition). A few questions: " Fine, its a good and cheap product (i have the mdpro64 and works good). However, beware, be sure to have a EPP printer port... Also the flashing software is a bit do...

i mean, they render the thing in RAM (or directly in VRAM), just increasing the write adress per 0x4 after each byte write (to ram or vram)... In the case they work into ram, they just DMA the whole stuff to vram with régular word method.

If you render your 3D or scalling by software and per horizontal line, no need DMA fill, just use my method (you'll get 90° reversed picture) to render at fullspeed without making a mad BMP2Tiles calculus... that is the trick. I just looked at duke nukem and it do exactly same thing as I explained ...

Interesting note

Maybe you can replace your loop with other computing stuff (like mixing two samples or doing a loud/quiet filter)
Nice to hear that your code can go up to 96khz

Basicaly, the document you are seaching for are just nearly same (in shape and content) as sega2.doc you have

I think sega2.doc (genesis tech overview) is just fine to write a megadrive game

"Surprised that all of the companies had their own separate, individually-coded-from-the-ground-up software for making music and graphics. " there were two (at least) music drivers sold by sega... GEMS and TTS something.... Both had some tools comming with (mac tools)... Nobody never leaked those to...

Hi, I wanted (some times ago, mainly for my megacart bios) to read myself the content of a .brm file... You know, getting the saves names and size off raw data. :arrow: What i've already noted is: -End of backup ram is always written SEGA_CD_ROM????? RAM_CARTRIDGE___ However, i also saw : SEGA_EC_RO...

:D Heyhey :D Can't wait to see your new baby, Edge! Maybe we should rename this topic in "presentations" I think its a missing thing in this board :) "Does anyone know how to correctly use DMA on the Sega CD? I was told it had something to do with adjusting the source (or destination) address." Ther...

If you render your 3D or scalling by software and per horizontal line, no need DMA fill, just use my method (you'll get 90° reversed picture) to render at fullspeed without making a mad BMP2Tiles calculus... that is the trick.

Well, i have a trick to render vertical lines (half horizontal rez only) at full speed... Just put your tiles like that (for a display size of 4 tiles height) 0 4 8 12 1 5 9 .... 2 6 10 3 7 11 Then, just render your pixels as Bytes and increase the adress per 4 after each write, and DMA all to vram ...

So, even if the sh2 started to run code, if i disable 32x, sh2 will stop?
So bad ...

Hi,
Thx for the comment.

If genesis did not have DMA, most impressive games wouldn't have existed...
It is great feature... Not very very fast, but helps a lot...
