Nice technique :)

We used it in Masiaka, our Megadrive demo release at EVOKE 2017 :

It works really well on image with distinct clusters of colors. In the opposite situation, usually with digitized live sources, it needs lots of VRAM.
Some R&D could be ...

Hey folks,

our friend Gligli went to EVOKE last week end, to submit his latest creation (along with a team of 4 artists from the RESISTANCE demoscene group) to the "Alternative Platforms" demo competition. : The Spiral for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis
The demo ended up in 4th position (on a total of ...

Dear all,

Here is an adaptation of the original animation created by Julien JDM (Bounty/Banana) called "Road to Valhalla".
It was downscaled to the specs of the Megadrive, then compressed to fit on a MD cart, thanks to Gligli 's amazing audio/video compressor .

In the end, here is 1 minute of ...

Hello,

Here is a demo/slideshow by Resistance, released in 2017 at the Alchimie 17 demoparty.
This slideshow was made in memory of LeonBli, a great pixel artist & Amiga enthusiast that left us this summer.
All pixel paintings done by LeonBli, on the Amiga computer. We had to process some of them to ...

Hi,
we just released the source code of our demo on Github :

Hi,

we just released a Sega Megadrive contribution to the demoscene, mostly entirely built on the latest SGDK :

For a first post, that's a hell of a post

Dear all,

with a fellow MD coder, Gligli , we did a couple of quick experiments with the latest GCC version that could work with SGDK.
Gligli took one of my code snippets (a classic 3D starfield, sprites-based), and tried to compile it with GCC6.3.0/Binutils 2.24).

With virtually zero changes to ...

@SegaTim : that's "OLDSKOOL GRAPHICS" rules that you are reading (not oldschool demos)

Thanks, Titan, for such an inspirational work with an incredible amount of R&D.

Hi !

As the friends of Popsy Team are organizing a demoparty next month , I created a small demo in the old tradition of "demo invitation".

It was done really quickly by assembling a series of snippets I had on my Github.
Some may recognize a piece of the sprite benchmark from SGDK. The 'donut ...

Very interesting discussion, thanks for the technical explanation!
The way sprites are linearly processed absolutely makes sense, considering the age of the hardware.

I wouldn't say it is *that* limited, though.

Admittedly, sprites cannot mutually overshadow.
But a series of game sprites can ...

Where is the BMP_init(..) call ?
I wanted to make effect per-pixel Plasma

Maybe you are expecting too much from a 7Mhz CPU with a tile-based framebuffer and no real chunky mode ...

Thanks dudes.
Alas, none of the above seems to work on my SGDK version. Probably, I'm not using these option the proper way.
I finally find a working alternative here :

Dear all,

I'm trying to obtain the assembler code generated out of my .C files by GCC.
The aim is to understand how my C code is translated into ASM and maybe find some way to optimize certain critical parts of my code.

The " stackoverflow" thread here mentions the -S option, that works when used ...
