I think it doesn't help, but the licence thing is only on Genesis 2, isn't it ?

Haven't downloaded it yet.
Is the VRAM dump byte-swapped ?

+1 for Pascal But let us not forget why we're (partially) here for : to learn. I'm in for fun with Genesis, but it was also to learn 68k programming. So if you want to learn .NET, and by the way, enhance KMod, it's your will, it's your life. Noone could (should) prevent you to do this. Do what you w...

This rom header can reroot hint and vint using vectors in ram to each demo. Just figured out this too. The header would be dc.l $00FFFFFC,$200 dc.l INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT dc.l INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT dc.l INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT dc.l INT,INT,INT,HBL,INT,$FF0000,INT,INT dc.l INT...

Great !!! I've just figured it. Here it is, my way : GFX_CTRL equ $C00004 main: * main code goes here waitVInt: move.w GFX_CTRL,d0 andi.w #$0008,d0 bne waitVInt * code during V blank waitVIntFinish: move.w GFX_CTRL,d0 andi.w #$0008,d0 beq waitVIntFinish bra main or, for the Cish people : int main() ...

I'd like to submit something but don't know yet if I'd be brave enough. For now, don't count me in.

Do we have a deadline yet ?

I know for some of you (TmEE, Kaneda, Stef, Fonz, ...) , but precisely ...

Thanks Stef' for pointing it out.
It's corrected now.

Try this way : - prepare your DMA transfert (writing DMA reg values) - wait for the HBlank (Hblank flag = 1) - do the DMA Wht a clever way ! I'll try it. Anyway 16 colors during a single scanline seems to be a bit optimist, try to lower to 8 colors only. Ouch !!! It's going to be quite hard, so !!!

I've put the demo on my site : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/olivier.brosseron.

<OFF TOPIC> OK you guy. So, we agree : we're 2007, Jan the 2nd, half past eight in the morning, and we're talking about Genny, aren't we ? Guess that's what we mean by "geek". Happy new year !!! </OFF TOPIC> I'd say the 68k isn't penalized by memory access since its CISC root makes possible for him ...

Has anyone already tried (and succeded) to DMA copy from VRAM (obviously) to CRAM ? Would it be faster than a DMA transfer from ROM or Work RAM (obviously no) ? Nevertheless, with DMA copy, the CPU can keep on working whereas with DMA transfer, it is stalled. I guess that for transferring data to CR...

I may have put too much on optimisation. DMA transfer size being constant, I get it out of HBL. Maybe it was deleted, or something .... I don't know what was wrong. I haven't exactly pointed the bug. Sorry. Maybe I'll rework on it after my holidays. For now, I'm currently working on a SEGA Saturn SC...

Ok I got it working. It displays ... 256 colors.
Not so bad.
I'm beginning to feel bored.
Guess it's time for a change ...
