Hi,
I just freshly began learning Assembly. Hard task but I enjoy.
I could display tonight the 512 colors of the Megadrive one ...

Hi, I'm back !
I didn't continue to try programming with SGDK until now... shame on me.

So, because it's very difficult for me to understand thing (abstract things), I started from the begining and used again the SPRITE sample from sgdk134.
I began to remove everything I didn't want to study to get ...

Difficult to understand for me...
Is there a way to solve that without reducing the size of my background ?

Hello,
I'm working on the SGDK Sprites tutorial.
As an exercise, I was trying to replace sonic by Marco from Metal Slug and backround planes A and B by Metal Slug background.

Unfortunately, I need more clues about this coding because I don't really understand.
As a result, I get background and ...

Hi,
Thank you.

I'm now making a background image (actually adapting a background from Metal Slug).
Can we mix in a single palette some Normal / Highlight and Shadow colors ?
Can we use different palette for a single background plane ?
In a PLANE B of a background we usually don't need transparency ...

Hello,
I'm struggling with Megadrive colors.

So, information I gathered and questions :

- colors are in 9 bits
- we write it in the order B + G + R
=> in Binary it should be written 000 000 000 (9 bits), right ?

- for the Megadrive, the different Decimal values for each R, G and B can be : 000 ...

Stef,
You told me we can program in both C and Assembly.
Can I do Assembly with CodeBlocks ?

Can I create a program that is calling another one ?
If yes, can a C program call an Assembly one ? An reverse too ?

your cygwin.dll file =>
file version : 1005.21.0.0
product version : 1.5.21

the version I'm using, up to date file from the official website
(the one for 32 bits system because the same one for 64 bits didn't work) =>
file version : 2002.0.0.0
product version : 2.2.0

=> but in propterties tab of ...

OK, it finally works !!!

I found a website with different DLL versions : http://fr.dll-files.com/cygwin1.dll.html
=> All the DLL for 64 bit didn't work : it's written that DLL file is not available
=> I chose the latest one available on 32 bits and it worked : version 32 bits - 1007.33.0.0

After ...

I'm lost, don't understand at all how to make it work properly...

still the same

I just tried with 3 cygwin1.dll files randomly downloaded from the web :
I got the same message for one of them and some other errors for the others

Ah... but I saved the files in a folder on the desktop but as you said it can be problematic.
Going to saved them in USB Key.

I will download randomly what I can find and try to replace the actual file in the SGDK directory.

By the way, I found the following information, do I need to do it ? (translated from French) :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy DLL file in ...

What if another software uses cygwin1.dll from another folder ?
It means it really has to be SGDK exclusive ?
What about that information for example : http://www.dll-downloader.net/c/cygwin1-dll/

Hi,
I did a search yesterday on my C: and D: folders and deleted what I found.
If there is a cygwin1.dll in some compressed folders (ZIP, RAR, etc), do I need also to delete those folders ?
