While a CD probably would be cheaper than a flash cart, SCDs only read CDRs, not CDRWs, so you'd need to burn a new CDR for every single test you did, quickly negating the savings. You COULD do early testing on an emulator and just final tests on real hardware, but the SCD is much more complex than...

I am starting to look into Riemersma dithering this website http://www.compuphase.com/riemer.htm says It thereby combines the advantages of ordered dither and error diffusion dither If that turns out to be true it would be the best solution for FMV and static images. I will probably add it soon. sc...

While Floyd-Steinberg is great for static images, it sucks for movies since the error correcting aspect makes static pixels change often even if the static pixels are very far away from the changing pixels (and makes it hurts compression since you cannot reuse pixels from previous frames for what sh...

I am doubtful this would be that great for FMV. The biggest factor in Sega CD FMV is the 1x CD data speed. By going from 4 bits (single palette) or 6 bits (four palettes) to 9 bits, it makes the pixel data much larger. Larger pixel data means you need to sacrifice something else to stay within the 1...

Yeah, that was the reason I didn't finish my Master's - I needed the head of the math department, the head of the physics department, and the head of the electrical engineering department to work together... except I could only ever get any TWO to work together. I got tired of the politics after a ...

Holy CRAP! No wonder engineers don't take "Computer Scientists" seriously. I didn't finish my Master's Thesis because of politics between professors at the Uni I attended, but it was on "Proton lithography of nano scale features and their affect on planar quantum structures." :lol: Getting my BSEE,...

Original: "For example, the Sega Genesis has a palette that can hold up to 64 different colors selected from 512 different color values." Suggestion: "For example, the Sega Genesis has four palettes and each palette can hold 16 colors selected from 512 different color values." Figure 15 is a picture...
djcouchycouch your lucky I wish I could be so focused on a project but for me when something becomes difficult I sometimes end up moving on another project. I try not to though. Do like me and have a baby! :) Then you'll realize you've only got 2 hours out of the day to yourself and you don't want ...

I have an acquaintance that wanted to put a film he made on SegaCD. I see a convert.sh file on the BADAPPLE.ISO. Did you make some end-user utilities to make SegaCD compatible .CIN files? If you did, I missed where they are. Thanks in advance for any clues! The convert.sh and SCDTools have everythi...
