Best practices for writing C on 68000?

Hi,

I'm trying to find resources on best practices for writing efficient C code on the 68000. I've found http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech ... index.html which looks like a good article.

Are there others that would be helpful?

Thanks!

Code benchmarking techniques?

Hi,

What are the recommended tools and techniques used to benchmark C code on the Megadrive? Does the 68000 provide any timers or registers to help?

Thanks!

Yes, exactly. That's what I was using. :) But I didn't know how to enable the scrolling mode so it didn't do anything. But everything is working now.

That was just enough information to get me going, thanks! I'm relying on SGDK since I'm not very familiar with the Genesis hardware, and there wasn't any obvious way (to me anyway) to set the scroll mode. But then I read that those settings are based on register values. SGDK doesn't seem to expose a...

SGDK - scrolling a background in sections

Hi, One thing I haven't been able to wrap my head around is how to make it so that I can scroll a background plane at different speeds. The effect I'm most interested in is how the background scrolls in Sonic The Hedgehog 1. The far off mountains, the waterfalls and the ocean scroll at different rat...

SGDK - Correct time to call VDP_setPlanSize?

Hi, I'm trying to resize the planes' size to 64x64 by calling VDP_setPlanSize(64,64) but it doesn't seem to have any effect. It looks like it still thinks it's in 32x32. Is the function not working because I can only call it at certain times? I'm expecting my background to look like this (warning: g...

Introducing MDPPY++

Hi, In my spare time I've been working on Kaneda's MDPPY plugin, refactoring and adding some features that were useful to me. I figured it would be a shame to not give back, so I'm releasing what I'm calling (for lack of a better name) MDPPY++. You can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6986n2g...

SGDK - Virus scanner false positives?

Hi,

Unzipping the SGDK, I got two messages from McAfee VirusScan saying that bintos.exe and bintoc.exe contain each a trojan, a version of Generic-FRAX. Has anybody else seen this? Could they be false positives?

Thanks!

I'm sorry for the basic question, but does this have to do with updating the GCC used in the SGDK? Or is this a totally different thing?

Thanks!

Mappy and alternatives

Hi,

Does anyone use map editing tools other than Mappy? Or is it generally the recommended tool to use? Is it still in development? Checking out the Mappy forum, it hasn't had any activity since last October.

Thanks!
