Gens32X-KMod

OK, it's a newbie question since I don't know anything about emulator.
Gens can emulate 32X. What would you need to display SH2 registers, cache, 32X main memory and frame buffer ?

easy : understand how the 32X works

I never did 32X programming (nor MCD)

the MCD debug part of KMod is from the original Gens debug feature and Fonzie hints

I didn't work on the 32X part because nobody seems to need them
only the layer show/hide to allow gfx rip and to see what is done by the MD and by a 32X on a 32X game

If I don't understand something, I make basic debug feature...
It's the same thing for sound part (FM/PSG/DAC), I made the ym2612 debug part while working on the ym2612 dev part

so I began the 32X part...
and wow...hard to understand

the ROM/RAM mapping, the framebuffer, the cache .....

happily Fonzie is still on msn at 2:00 AM

THANK YOU !!!!

Not available at 2 AM, but heavy support on PM (private message this time) or mail (you know my email).

I need a little bit more than a simple memory viewer. Register, and eventually cache/private RAM viewer would be really welcome.

again, because Stef's code is not so hard to read

Nah, "lets give the thing back to caesar"(? LOL), its Kaneda and Stef, duo d'enfer

Kaneda, this is great

Actually except i have written Gens in past, i did nothing for Gens KMod

Kaneda adding all that very nice features alone (or with Fonz help and advices maybe)

Post by **KanedaFr** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 10:01 am

ahah!

it's too easy to say thanks to Kaneda only

a lot of people are behind KMod (help or code)
With Fonzie & Stef, don't forget FuzzBuzz, Haroldoop, RedAngel and Edge (you'll see why next release)

as I said to Fonzie, I don't regret this forum, I had more feedback on KMod in 1 month than in....3(?) years
I'll try to release v0.7 this month with, I hope, MVST

Where did you find this demo ?

I've checked the SEGA demo, but could manage to run anything except SAMPLES\GNUSMPLE\MD\DEMO, and rename md.bin to md.32x.

it's the texture demo you can find on the web (like Egypt, etc...)
