Re: The perfect "Hello World" example for new starters

I made a "hello world" assembly demo a year or two ago when working on a few programming tutorials, but never ended up posting it anywhere. I'm not sure how it stacks up against others. I'm not really a programmer, so I have tons of bad practices. I'm sure it could have been done better, but I maybe...

Re: Aggregating Code Snippets

Here is a little snippet I wrote some time ago, and use a lot. It calculates the command to send to the VDP to do a VRAM write. For example, you would write $41800001 to the VDP control port. to access $4A80 in VRAM. With this code, just set the target address into D0, call the routine, and the VDP ...

Re: A few questions :)

The 32X is easy. Just look for the ASCII string "MARS" (4D 41 52 53) at $A130EC. If it says MARS, then a 32x is attached. For the SEGA CD, you could try writing to the SCD's RAM, and try reading back to see if the value was stored. There is probably a better way though. I'm not sure about Game Genie...

Re: Screensaver for sega genesis.

Looks cool! Thanks for sharing. I bet it would make a cool title screen.

It makes me wish that I was a better artist.

Virtua Worm for SEGA Genesis

We've had virtua cop, fighter, tennis, and racing. Now it's time for Virtua Worm! Gameplay: The game is like a cross between snake and pac-man. It's essentially a clone of an old web game called nibblet. Check it out if you haven't played it before! You have to navigate through a maze while eating f...

Idea to help slow down spammers

Why spammers have chosen this site as a target, I don't know. But they have, and they're persistent. I think a lot of spam could be prevented if another barrier to entry was added during registration. I know there is a question to be answered like "What's the name of Sonic's best friend ?:". That qu...

I know you can't get in to the game with the GG attached. It just shows a black screen IIRC. Maybe you can at least get as far as that test menu?

Re: Problems accessing Spritesmind

Whatever was causing the problem, it seems to be fixed for me. For now.
I just tried going to the site on my normal browser from home, and it worked!

I did a traceroute again, and it made 10 hops before having hops time out. I also tried pinging the site, and it didn't work at all.

Re: Problems accessing Spritesmind

Someone who is having this problem might want to run a traceroute (tracert on Windows). This should give you an idea of where the connection is dying. Good idea. I just tried it. The results: traceroute to gendev.spritesmind.net (213.186.33.40), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0...

Re: Problems accessing Spritesmind

Glad I'm not the only one... I haven't been able to access the site for a few weeks, maybe a month. I can't access or even ping the site at all from my home network. It just times out. I thought maybe it was a DNS issue, but I can't even connect by typing in the site's IP address. I can access the s...

Matrix Digital Rain demo for Genesis

First homebrew of 2016! Remember the matrix? I do. I never really cared for the movie, but I used to love the digital rain effect. I used it as my screensaver when I got my own PC for the first time in middle school. I made this quick demo showing off the "digital rain" effect. It's kind of cool wat...

Re: Video problems on hw

Are you clearing out the 68K's RAM first? Or does SGDK do it for you? When I was doing homebrew stuff, everything worked fine in every emulator. I eventually got an everdrive, and ran some of my stuff on it. I learned the hard way that you can't expect RAM, registers, or anything else to be cleared ...
