Re: The best in-game videos in Sega Megadrive/Genesis games?

Yeah you are right. Sonic 3D blast still HAS (: the video intro.
Red Zone has but there two colors only(black color and few colors background). However still may be considered as a full motion movie.

The best in-game videos in Sega Megadrive/Genesis games?

The best in-game videos in Sega Megadrive/Genesis games?

Does anybody remember any games having in-game video?
For example like MiG-29 the video of the plane in the right-bottom corner.
Currently it's the only game I can recall having a full motion video.

Re: Hello...

dub is right.
you need EverDrive with USB. I cannot even imagine how would I test anything hundred times per day (if not more) If I would use just SD card.
it would be hell.
by they way I just noticed that Krikzz has discounts for all his devices just right now.

Re: Hello...

You need a flashcart to run your creatures on a real console.
I prefer krikzz's EverDrive.
He has flashcarts for (almost) all the popular video consoles.
I guess they are one of the best.

Re: Hello...

Hello & Welcome!
Exodus is the most precise currently.
Kega Fusion and Gens were the most popular and precise before Exodus appearance.

Don't you like to use a real hardware for your development?

Re: Is the raster effect (quick palette switch) useless?

Hi greatkreator from 2012!

You were wrong. It is a very cool effect and very useful!
You just needed to turn the screen and do DMA. Also you should add some sync and not to try to transfer 64 colors per line without artifacts.

Re: Maybe someone has already experimented with that.

Thanks a lot Mask (sorry I don't know your name so I had to use Mask)! Actually that was a problem! Thanks for the luck and Tiido I fixed that. I played a bit with sync NOPs and they did their job. I added one instruction having 6 clock length and something inside VDP an CPU matched in the context o...

Maybe someone has already experimented with that.

Maybe someone has already experimented with that? I do the raster effect and it transfers more colors than it's possible to fit in the invisible HBLANK area. They of course become visible as artifacts but sometimes it is possible to make those artifacts very stable (not flickering) just standing at ...

Is there any way to avoid the artifacts produced by the screen turning on?

Is there any way to avoid the artifacts produced by the screen turning on? On real hardware white lines of a random length appear just after turning the screen on. I know it is possible to hide them in the HBLANK invisible area but unfortunately it's not an option for me. Dealt with it: just needed ...

Re: Does anyone know where the value of VDP register number 7 is stored?

Thanks Mask! I am of course aware of the direct color trick.
But why am I asking about reg 7? Because I hoped maybe it was possible to do the same with it however without having those 5 doubled-pixel-columns artifacts.

Is it possible somehow to do DMA into it?

Re: Direct Color Demo using DMA

It would be a perfect thing if wouldn't have the vertical doubled pixel columns. Unfortunately it is still almost useless because of them. I guess that's why there were no games using it. Sega's creators definitely knew about that feature. I still hope and believe in the miracle that it's possible t...

Re: How to enable email notifications? Is it possible?

Thanks!

I guess found what was wrong.
I should check checkers for "Emal" in "Edit notification options" in "Board references" in "User Control Panel".
Now I hope I will receive notifications to my email.

Re: Mode 7 demo for Genesis/MD

A good idea! Why not?
As well you can put Google ads on the site and we will watch the ads "actively". More than average ads spectators.
You will have money to pay for the bandwidth.
