It is possible to add the custom (2 colors) font from the raster image file? Yes, the raster font file was generated using BMFont v1.14, available on http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/. This tool allows you to choose any TrueType font and then generate a PNG file containing the font converte...

The Mojon Twins have just released their tool for making visual novels for the Sega CD in BasiEgaXors. Pretty interesting stuff. ;) http://www.mojontwins.com/2017/11/23/liberamos-vane-motor-visual-novels-mega-cd/ https://github.com/mojontwins/VANE http://www.mojontwins.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11...

Version 0.10.1 is now available: Product name string on the ROM header changed to "Powered by BlocklyVN32X"; Generated ROM will be automatically padded to 256KB, 512KB, 1MB, 2MB, 3MB or 4MB (that is, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 or 32 mbits). Release page: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/BlocklyVN32X/releases/tag/...

That's really weird; AFAIK, there's no routine on the engine that would reach beyond the size of the compiled code.
Anyway, I suppose the compiler should have padded the ROM, anyway; I should implement the improvement on a future version.

Anyway, I'm happy to know it's working on real hardware!

Version 0.10.0 is now available: Added command to choose the name that will be displayed in the top left corner of the text window; Resolved the input lag problem on the generated ROM. Release page: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/BlocklyVN32X/releases/tag/v0.10.0 Portable version: https://github.com/...

Okay, the input lag problem has been considerably reduced by preparing the frames in advance.

ROM version 0.1.1: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/the-quest ... -0.1.1.32x

And yes, the time it waits between inputs is a bit silly. It's certainly much longer than it should be. :D Actually, trying it a bit more, it's not a wait between inputs, it's the debounce. If you press and HOLD the button, it recognizes it right away. It's just tapping the button that doesn't work...

I decided to test the ROM on a few emulators, to see how it behaves: Fusion 3.5: Complains about the checksum, but runs okay; Fusion 3.3: Complains about the checksum, then gives a black screen; Gens KMod 01: Runs okay; Gens KMod 05: Runs okay (strange, this one used to fail... :P); Gens Plus! 0.0.3...

How did you test this? It doesn't work in Fusion or on real hardware for me.

I had tested it on Fusion, primarily. It *does* have an invalid checksum, though.

Hello, again, I have just ported the Ren'py sample script named "The Question" to BlocklyVN32X. ROM version 0.1.0: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/the-question-vn32x/releases/download/v0.1.0/the.question.0.1.0.32x Project source: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/the-question-vn32x It has some input lag p...

Yep, that's a visual novel all right! :D They're still surprisingly popular. too bad the target machine is the 32X, a system than almost nobody is interested for :-/ Well, this tool is meant to change this situation :) Yes, I chose this platform both because there aren't many homebrews for it, and ...

Looks nice, so far. :wink: While, technically, 4MB is the maximum amount that the Genesis can address directly, nothing prevents you from adding bankswitching hardware to the cartridge itself, meaning you could have, in theory, as much memory as you're willing to use. Also, as a (never used, so far)...

For anybody interested, here's a new video!

Version 0.8.3 is now available! All of the memory alignment glitches are now solved. It should run reliably on real hardware. Release page: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/BlocklyVN32X/releases/tag/v0.8.3 Portable version: https://github.com/haroldo-ok/BlocklyVN32X/releases/download/v0.8.3/blocklyvn32...

Version 0.8.2 is now available! No new features; it was just adjusted so that the generated ROM can run on real hardware. On real hardware, it starts correctly, but the blinking cursor glitches and the images sometimes fail to appear. Special thanks go to Bullis Marter (Nils) for help in making it w...
