Yep, i did my own draw routines. You can see them by downloading the mini devkit, libraries sources are included. I'm using a 2 horizontal pixels based drawing methos because it's faster to manipulate byte than "half byte" :) All code is in pure C, we can obtain better performance with ASM but imo ...

Genesis isn't designed for bitmap drawing, I've to use an internal bitmap buffer in main memory then blit it to video memory in software because i need to convert the bitmap in tiles. Are you double buffering the screen? Do you DMA transfer the screen over multiple frames? That's not a real "double...

I think we should concentrate these importants VDP infos in our post. So as soon someone post a correction or add a new info, you should correct and mention it in your first post. Then everyone can quickly access them :) About the sprite limit, in 256 px mode, i believe it's 24 sprites by line (not ...

hehe
Don't worry, it was a joke, i'm not from one of these chauvinistic french

Just a supposition as i don't know when i'll be back on that but : can i use your sources to add your functions to the mini dev kit's libraries ? can i also modify them a bit if needed (to keep a sort of "standard" in name and call) ? Of course, i'll mention your name somewhere (i say somewhere beca...

What about making a big genesis dev pack ? I'm thinking about CodeBlock editor configured and ready to use with GCC compiler and all the best genesis dev tools :) IMO it would be a nice project. I think the first step is to enumerate all the best and reliables tools for genesis dev, we can divide to...

Indeed, it would be nice to regroup them somewhere

Heya :) SGDK (aka Sega Genesis Dev Kit) is a small development kit for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis. It's divided in 2 parts : - GCC compiler & tools binaries for Windows platform only (sorry for osx and linux users). - the development library sources which provide facilities to develop on the Sega Me...

Yeah !!!!!!!
Thanks Kaneda, finally someone did it !
I guess that will be a small but very sympatic community
I posted a link about my minimal genesis devkit in the genesis forum. I would like to improve the "libraries" and keep it regulary updated
