I am also keeping my eye on this project but this guy does C programming for a living, its all Assembly. I read roller coaster tycoon was written completely in assembly and that it's quite a programming feat! You are making me feel old, and he actually writes in C++ which is very commonly found in ...

To be honest if you want to learn to program in C in a 'fun way' consider getting a Game Duino 1 or 2: http://excamera.com/sphinx/gameduino2/ The MD is, well, a bit dry at first and you will find yourself having to chip away at it for some time. C is ok for MD work but you really should consider Ass...

I can imagine the possibilities but more over I know the work too. Even the assets could not be simply dropped in place and very little of the code can be re-used so you would need teams for each of the platforms. Sadly, that is a fair amount of work in any case and as the creator mentioned it took...

i humbly think that an amazing version like this shouldn’t be released only for Megadrive - just imagine having it released for NeoGeo, CPS-1, Amiga, etc. - and more, 2 decades ago, Hudson released Bomberman HD, and now we have 1080p and 4k displays available! just imagine the possibilities! :) I c...

Hi. Almost 6 years ago, I have released a prototype of a game called "Mega Q*bert", but I never finished it due to massive amount of problems with the game's structure. Lately I decided to rewrite it from scratch and it's now done. The game unfortunately hasn't been tested on the actual hardware, a...

He could not sell that any way - who on Earth would buy that for actual $?

You need to sort your collisions out - they are waaay off.

Hi, have you got a scope or anyway to sample the MD's video? It could well be that you have not configured the Gonbes correctly. Can you take photos or list the settings? I can tell you exactly what I use when I get home. If you cannot get it to work I have a few of these, pass me your address and I...

It depends on how you measure it: I write more efficient Assembly code than GCC compiled C but your mileage may differ.

Definitely we cannot say it's really straightforward to do inline assembly when you see that awful syntax :p

If you want performance switch to Assembly.

Also...did you notice some sound problems? like some random note out of nowhere? i get this from time to time. As stated and I shall repeat: once we get a collection of MD hardware and we have a good representation of versions, revisions and regions (PAL & NTSC) and we have a set of tests to carry ...

Er, no, 'M' is used often to denote the Motorola aspect of the 68K.

It's all about sending a message. Use "000" and not "k" in search.

Or use both.

The easiest way is providing the download URL :wink: It's curious, I repeated searching "M68K User Manual" using Bing, and the manual does neither appear. It looks like only Google hits it...

I brought my Genesis 3, and sure enough UMDK has no problems on it. Ah, interesting. Presumably that's an NTSC machine? If so, that breaks the theory that it's a timing issue. At this point it looks like the MD1 is generally not compatible. I don't think I've heard of an MD2 or MD3 or Nomad not wor...

Have you thought about compression? Most MD games utilised compression and you might want to do the same.

There is no need to scan the entire plane. Simply maintain a list of locals around active objects. Do collisions at the tile scale then if you get a collision determine at the pixel level.
