SpritesMind.Net

Hello Kan'. I ain't sure what you're talking about, so I gonna talk about what I know. SpritesMind IS a wonderful source of knowledge, and a great achievement. I mean, look at what we knew before SpritesMind, and look at that we know now. Before SpritesMind, there were indivuals with huge knowledge....

What about a framebuffer ? The pseudo-SVP would translate everything to a tile-rendered scene.
Just like the original SVP come to that.

Great great work Stef !
Congratulations !

Hello r57shell. I have never tried your questions, but here are my answers, much helped by the "32x docs" topics and the 32x hardware manual especially Yes, with 32x mode 0 (blank mode), you can have any Genesis video mode (32x Hardware Manual, §Display mode) I can't see why, in mode 3, you wouldn't...

The 32X Hardware Manual (valpocl.com/SuperVDP/32x_hardware_manual.pdf) states : Built-in SCI (Serial Communication I/F) : SH2 has one SCI channel. In the 32X, the master and slave are connected to each other making serial communication possible. If data receive interrupt is used, timing is effective...

Back to subject, I remember talking with devster (http://devster.monkeeh.com/) who quite discouraged me to do so. I can't find back the post, but he noticed to me that even inserting a single charcater in a 500 words document would take quite a long time. But, we're explorers, aren't we ? So, as far...

What you guy have done is incredible !

Congratulations !!!!

Edit : it's not incredible, it's friggin' magic. No one would have thought it would be possible, and you made it !
Fookin' awesome !!!

Dad life is what life's for.

Well, Genny dev apart, of course :DDD

Indeed !

Unfortunately, I guess Chilly is right : I've never tested all this stuff on real hardware, and I'm afraid it won't run on actual 32x.

I can't say which part doesn't run though, since, there are a lot of DMA operations here.

In my SuperVDP, I upload the palette from Genesis to 32X. Here's how it runs. 68k side : move.l #$FF4000,a0 ; Source address (Genny side) move.l #$0603BE00,d0 ; Destination address (32x memory map) move #256,d1 ; 256 16-bit words to write bsr DMAupload ... DMAupload: move.l a1,-(a7) ; put a1 on the ...

It even could be true :DDD

It won't be true (pity).

Anyway, it's a humour site, tongue in cheek and so on.
