Thanks for the kind words! Of course you can use it if you like, I'd love to see it as an SGDK default sample. Thanks ! i will probably add it soon then :D I may eventually add some comments here and there (I saw you used low level sprite API for instance) Speaking of hint callback :), I noticed th...

The effect looks gorgeous ! well done ! And the settings menu is really nicely done too. Can i eventually use it as default sample ? that is the kind of sample i always wanted to do but never spent time for that. Of course you will be credited for that :) Also it's good that you made it for SGDK 1.6...

Just released SGDK 1.60 !

Have fun

Yeah of course you can, you just need a 8 MB ROM cart for that and it is not recommended to use flat mapping as it eats extension memory space but if don't care about it...

DGen ??? Maybe you're speaking about a newer version than the one i know as it was both *very inaccurate* and the sources definitely not nice imo.
I would have recommended Genesis Plus instead but maybe what you meant is than DGen is probably easier to understand and get compiled.

Sprites tiles are allocated by the sprite engine so using SPR_initEx(..) allow you to define the VRAM allocated for sprite tile data.
Unfortunately you cannot easily free font tiles, so what you can do is to erase it with fixed tiles used for HUD or any others static stuff for instance.

For some reasons YM3438 need more cycles than the YM2612 to update internal registers (i guess it depend from the register) so it makes sense the busy flag is also maintained for longer.

So you were testing using CRAM DMA right ? in my case i was always testing using VRAM DMA and just doing some tile data update while the Z80 was running and using the 68k BUS. In that case it seems the DMA break and instead of the wanted data the VRAM is filled with fixed color (and often something ...

DMA doesn't fail and load garbage, it is outright cancelled , the transfer does not happen and you can measure the time won from that and determine if DMA happened or not, or read VRAM instead. Are you sure of that ? From what i observed it looks like the VRAM was always filled with a fixed value (...

Myself i'm using wavosaure, i believe it's a windows only tool. it's free, simple and has exactly what i need to convert / filter my WAV files.

As you can read it in the documentation, the fourth parameter tells which sound driver the WAV / sample is intended to be used. It's really important because all sound driver has their own specificities / features (sample playback rate for instance) but the thing is that only the XGM driver is usabl...

only once, it's just because i decomposed the calculation but indeed it correspond to the TILE_ATTR_FULL stuff This is the same parameter, except you define it at compile time instead that on runtime (sort of)

@djcc> I already updated rescomp and makefile to properly handle deps now, it's not perfect but much better already :) @cero> it's because you're a pure C guy but honestly keeping rescomp in C was really a pain and not productive at all for me. I would have spent much more time doing the sprite cutt...

Hi djcc, Definitely right ! This is something we tried to improve (makefile dependency handling), a guy from NES dev community named Banshaku has put some efforts in trying to improve the makefile, so adding sub folder support and automatically deps files (.d) generation but it turned to be a bit mo...

mapbase is the equivalent of base_attr parameter in setTileMapEx.. So you need to specify at which tile index you want to put your tile data for this map (for instance TILE_USERINDEX) and also specify palette index if you plane to not use palette 0 for the map, palette index need to be shifted by 13...
