Re: New spammer countermeasure

A couple will always slip through the net whatever the countermeasure, let's see if the frequency increases. Keep reporting them, I check daily for problems.

Perhaps it's me, but it looks like the main character is missing a part of the back ear. It feels strange at least.

Probably the most awesome game for MD since it's end. Keep it up!
Deliberate, it's a cut, but I might tidy it up a little bit

Re: Can somebody send my the binary of dmf2esf?

Yes indeed: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxfvkp4et3luio8/dmf2esf.zip?dl=0 but I'm curious to know what problems you were having, it's not my most complex of project setups! Note the command line options don't match the documentation, have a read of the code for how to use. I'll fix that up at some point.

Re: Algorithm for splitting sprites

Funnily enough, I found myself needing this just yesterday.

I'm lazy and don't want to read the whole thread - which algo won?

Re: Where are all the games!

We don't seem to have a showcase site for Mega Drive homebrew like other scenes do, it's all scattered around and some go unmissed. I might dedicate an area of my blog for it at some point.

Check out ESCAPE 2042: The Truth Defenders if you get a chance, it's a very very good game.

ASM68K.EXE symbol file reader

With a little help from some friends, I've managed to figure out ASM68K.EXE's symbol file format for converting addresses to files/lines, as well as the symbol table. C# implementation, hopefully straightforward enough to port to other langs: https://github.com/BigEvilCorporation/ASM68KSymbolDump My...

Re: dragonbox.de cartridge production service

I can vouch for the quality of the cart shells from dragonbox.de, they are excellent. Correct size for the cases, correct weight, they have the notch to fit Japanese consoles, and the plastic is good quality. There's no SEGA logo (replaced with a CE stamp) but no disclaimer text ("Do not immerse in ...

Re: The perfect "Hello World" example for new starters

Yeah that stuff is so old and I only had a vague idea of what I was doing, I really need to start writing them again as actual tutorials (peer reviewed and fact checked). It was more of a diary.

Re: Memory leak? Need some help -_-

You're using BSR for an infinite loop with no RTS - BSR will push the return address to the stack, and since you never return, it'll fill memory up with these addresses forever:

Code: Select all

Use BRA if you never intend to return from the subroutine.
