Just made this small demo ( video ) that shows Axelay -like scrolling to prove the fact that SNES does not use Mode 7 to do this to some people who had doubts about my explaination how this actually works. No source code is provided because it is really crude (in C), made in no time just to get ...

Here is what should be done to make TFC C player work with any Z80 sample player:

void ym2612wr(u8 reg,u8 val,u8 bank)
{
volatile u16 *pz;
volatile u8 *pw,*pa,*pd;

pz=(u16*)Z80_HALT; //stop Z80 to prevent it from corrupting a register write
*pz=0x100;
while(*pz&1); //wait for busreq

pw ...

It is rather easy if you play TFC on M68K side and samples on Z80 side - you don't need a special driver to do this. You only need to modify TFC player a bit, by stopping Z80 before writing to YM2612 registers and selecting DAC register after write and running Z80 again.

By the way, Stef, it seems ...

If you want to make your software region locked for some reason, I should say that it is not a good idea - there are rather easy ways (very simple HW mods, Mega Key) to overcome this. So it would only make some discomfort for users.

I gave you an example in the post above. I don't know how to explain it in more details, sorry.

Code in your second post looks like a correct one.

There is also some __attribute__((aligned(N)) in GCC that could be used to align C data, but I don't know how to use it exactly and is it work in the ...

Use align directive. If you use C, declare the data external in C program, include it as binary at the end of sega.s. Something like this:

What YY-CHR does as an editor in regard to the Genesis graphics that general purpose graphics editors aren't capable?

I mean, for me it seems way much easier to make a 16-color bitmap, and convert it with a command line tool during build process.

If it would support multipalette (and/or two layer ...

GYM is very outdated format, why even bother messing with it? If you need a format for register dump to play on the console, you can make your own that would be at least as good as GYM in few minutes.

vgmmaker11 and tfmmaker10 are outdated too, there are newer versions.

It is not possible to ...

All the software random generators are pseudorandom, they give exactly the same sequence every time. It does not matter which algorithm you will use, you still will have the problem. To fix it you need to introduce a real random. The most common source for it is user input. For example, the time ...

File/Export/TFD file for SMD

I noticed a major bug that no one reported - sprites were not cleared after soft reset. So I fixed this bug and also (hopefully) the palette update. You can redownload files (game and source code) using links from the first post, it is v1.2 now.

You can easily draw Genesis graphics in any standart graphics editor. You don't really need a special one, and even if you need it for some special tasks (want to have ability to use few palettes at once or support for shadow/highlight), it is much easier to modify an exitsting one. Making a good ...

Please redownload the file, there was a bug in VGM exporter (screwed tags and 1.50) introduced in last minute.
