Re: New 32x game in development!

Just wanted to say, it's great to see you continually post. Life can get messy at times, but we all must go at our own pace (my own project is quite slow going as well). Anyway, looking forward to seeing more updates! By the way, which episode of AWSGameTech Rewind were you in? Thanks for the kind ...

Re: New 32x game in development!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to let everyone know this is still in the works. Just a slow go with life being a little bit busy this season. Some small progress but nothing substantial yet to really show off

Re: New 32x game in development!

NEWS: So, this week i'll be sitting down for a twitch interview to go over my game demo. It's light in the demo for sure, but should show off a lot that i've been working on lately. I've added a ton more to the game lately (keeping it a surprise, hence why less postings here). June 9th 3-4pm EDT is ...

Re: New 32x game in development!

The ZDoom wiki is great for a lot of different info on Doom files and such. Here's their page on the WAD format: https://zdoom.org/wiki/WAD It's a really straightforward method of grouping data for a game and finding the data in the game. Knowing the wad format, it should be trivial to make your ow...

Re: New 32x game in development!

If the release flags have -O1 for hardware files, that's probably what you want for real hardware. Not sure why you'd use something different for debug... :lol: As to noise in the sound, that could be due to many issues: Filling/playing the wrong buffer. If you look at my code, I tend to fill the f...

Re: New 32x game in development!

For C/C++ code that directly bangs on the hardware, you need to compile it with NO MORE than optimization level 1. If you go with 2 or higher, you need memory fences around the hardware accesses, and gcc doesn't seem to have memory fences defined for the SuperH family. What we do in D32XR is to def...

Re: New 32x game in development!

Small update: So I forgot i had one of those retrostage blasters that i bought a few years back along with a sega cartridge and adapter. Thankfully it also accepts 32x roms and not just sega roms. I managed to hook everything up tonight after writing the demo rom to the cartridge and it plays!! Two ...

Re: New 32x game in development!

Don't worry about it. I think everyone here knows all about not being able to devote every second to your project. I certainly do. Real life often gets in the way. We're a patient sort, here, so just keep at it. We'll still be here. Hey Chilly! I have a few questions for you whenever you get a chan...

Re: New 32x game in development!

Whelp it's time for another update! Past week i've been down the with plague (or a man sized cold...don't judge) head had been stopped up, didn't/couldn't really think :( However, i'm starting to think more and get back at it. I switched back to the SDK build out (needed a breather from the editor.....

Re: New 32x game in development!

Wow, this is awesome stuff! Still wrapping my head around Genesis/Mega Drive, but would love to tackle the 32X one day. Hello! Thank you for the very kind words:) Well, my hope is that this living thread will help anyone that starts the 32x journey. When I'm satisfied with this engine/sdk/ or whate...

Re: New 32x game in development!

Sounds rather useful. Might attract some folks who'd rather concentrate on the game than on coding. Sorry for the late response! When it rains it poors when it comes to life and becoming busy :) Yes, my plan is that not only will I be able to benefit with how fast i can scale when it comes to creat...
