Interesting. Could it look better with vertical strips? I guess they would blend better on a CRT TV rather than horizontal strips.

You supposed to turn the screen off while putting all needed data (graphics, initial nametable data) into the VRAM. When the screen is turned off, there is no need to fit into the vblank time, so you can fill up the VRAM much faster.

Genesis can handle 20 sprites per line, actually.

Perhaps links in your sprite list are broken at some point, and that's make some part of it disappear.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in this. It is a tracker, not a converter, after all. The whole point of it is to allow create new music.

Stef's SDK includes TFC player. Use VGM MM (FM channels only) or TFM MM to create music, export into TFD, use TFMCOM utility provided with TFM MM to get a TFC file, use the file with the player. There is no full blown ready-mady solution for music and sound effects that would allow to use all the so...

TFM driver is still available, as well as PSG effects player/tools, and it rather easy to combine the driver with a Z80 driver that play samples (one or few channels).

Since you not going to play the music on the real chip, why not just use VOPM? It emulates 2151. If you don't have/like piano roll sequencers, you can use it with Psycle, OpenMPT or any other VSTi-enabled tracker.

You need to enable LFO and set its frequency in the song using an effect. Instrument editor has LFO always enabled and set to 3. Lxy - Set LFO Enables or disables the LFO and sets its frequency if enabled. Zero xy disables LFO, with non-zero x you can set frequency of the LFO using y 0..7 (0 is slow...

You have to worry about the envelope resets. Loading of TFD won't reset it.

Make an empty loop at the end of the song, it will be the same as no loop. You can detect end of stream (#fb). I don't know about multiple instances of TFD and don't know if anyone used it for sound effects. It is not too easy to have FM effects because envelopes aren't reset on keyon, you have to d...

If you use large steps, larger than an object or wall thickness, you still can use simple collision detection - just move the object in few iterations by smaller steps. Judging by the video, it is the exact same thing as wall clipping in a tilemap based Wolfenstein 3D like game - it certainly could ...

Funny thing that even the announcement in the video states that it is Mode7, although it isn't.

Sure, one nice single file with thousands lines of hex dump for the graphics, or without graphics at all. Whatever.

Without the includes it is difficult to work with code as is, and having hex dumps instead of a single line in the middle is not convinient, that's what I'm talking about.

There is no include for source code in BEX, all the code should be in one huge file. So including binaries through datafile is more convinient.
