OK. It's Fonzie very fault ! He convinced me ... well, sort of, to think about a Super VDP. Met's face it : the 32X wasn't a 2D crusher, and he had wonderful processors. So, can't I do something more ? Sure I can !!!! Please, follow me in my Super VDP thing. First of all, we tidy up some ideas : the...

I take parts from the GLide topic. The Comm Port can be used in any project, and maybe it can be improved from its side, without bothering other projects (GLide or Super VDP). The Comm Port is visible from Genesis side at A1 5120h and from 32X side at 2000 4020h. The Comm Port needs a status flag to...

unfortunatly i don't remember how far i emulated the com port on SH-2 side, the SH-2 io stuff are very incomplete on Gens :-/ I'm talking about the software Comm Port, at A1 5120h from Genesis side and 2000 4020h from the 32X side. Don't worry. I'm pretty damn sure your implementation of Comm Port ...

Don't tell me projects like that !!!! I could engage them !!!

The 32X hasn't anything to implement tile, so it'be kind of hell. Nevertheless, 2D can be implemented. Didn't figure exactly how yet.

Hi you guys. It seems forever to me I didn't post here. First of all, let me congratulate Kan and Steph' for making KMod 0.7 possible. Here I am striking back. Your remember ? I want to use the 32X as a video card for the genny. I use the Comm Port as a bus between the 2 systems : Offset 0h : STATUS...

Houston, I don't know. But, with 8bitwizard just coming in, Texas certainely is !!!

Stef wrote:Agreed !
This tool is very usefull for all genny developers ;)
Thanks again Kaneda for your great work :)

Some bravos for you guy, too.

Do I have to congratulate once more ?


Definitely yes !
Thank you Kan' !

Seems right to me.
Expect more answers from my holidays next week.
BTW, I will have receveid a book on OS. Maybe it will help.
Stay tuned.

As said Fonzie, it's too much for software. Thank you guys. Well, it'll save me some hundreds hours of computing, that's true ! I've been off for a little, and will still be the couple of coming days. We're releasing a new version of our software, and since I am desperately late (thank you 32x !!!)...

Hey, I've been thinking the whole week-end about my rasterization engine. It's getting bigger, but, as for now, I still have a nightmare. See :

Does anyone know how I could handle z datas ?

Bart Trzynadlowski made a document on it :

Sur devster : yea, any cartridge can be bigger than 32mbits, but only through external bankswitching. a game rom can also allocate itself to $000000-$7FFFFF, but i never seen any carts that do this, nor do i think it'll work on genesis systems released after the model 2. any read/write to $A13000 - ...
