My z80 skillz are lower. Lol. I think having to reserve the PSG for SFX if that is what you choose (or FM channel 6) is a completely reasonable restriction. I see two use cases for a VGM driver that are somewhat incompatible. In one case, the VGM driver attempts to play existing random VGM rips as i...

I'll be excited to see a much more feature rich VGM driver, Stef. I agree that limiting compatibility a bit with all the existing vgm files out there is probably the right way to go in order to make a z80 driver that can do all what we want. The existing vgm driver will allow FM music and PCM (sound...

The Vagrantfile will do a linux build environment which currently builds SGDK at revision 176.

As far as having a pause before stopping, this is likely due to how the VGM spec does waits, plus some optimization I had to do to get everything working working quickly enough on the z80. The wait times are potential times I may need to feed PCM data, in order to have this go smoothly, I skip check...

I've updated the obj2mesh.py tool (same link) to support more from the Wavefront format. This should now handle files created by more tools (tested with Wings3d) and support polygons with more than three points. Currently I am not limiting the number of vertices, which I should since the engine is l...

Ahh, but python works cross platform and is oh so nice to program in! AFAICT, the format requires triangles, but I'm not an expert in it by any means. I believe that the format defines coordinates in counter-clockwise fashion. Could that be why the polygon is kind of see-through when I make it solid?

I wrote a tool that takes wavefront .obj files and converts them into something digestable by SGDK. http://code.google.com/p/gendev/source/browse/trunk/extras/obj2mesh/obj2mesh.py # python obj2mesh.py -f afile.obj > meshs.h This works with a slightly modified cube_flat sample program from SGDK with ...

Nah. OsX and FreeBSD are BSD based systems, and are closer to truer Unix than Linux in a lot of ways. A completely different and parallel evolutionary path. Not to nit pick

... Or for people that want to use FreeBSD or MacOSX.

Yeah, I couldn't find a newer version for Ubuntu floating around. Really this shouldn't be a show stopper, since you can have Vagrant build to the hosts filesystem. Just use whatever you link emulator wise on the host, or install other emulators in the Vagrant VM.

I wrote a Vagrantfile that sets up a linux development environment with SGDK. This should allow Genesis development for any operating system that supports Vagrant. # -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby : #Vagrant::Config.run do |config| Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| # All Vagrant configuration...

I recalled that goplanes had a rotating main sprite, I thought there was a chance something like sprite transformation ( prerendering or on the fly) might be implemented in propeller. There isnt, which is kind of expected. Also, I like to see how other people implement random stuff to see if I get a...

I am in sunny Atlanta, GA. Thanks!!

Sign me up as well!

For starters, I remember you mentioning that you had a method to generate cos tables. Also, I had been skimming some articles about raster transformations ( http://www.catalase.com/optrot3d.htm ) and was curious if something along these lines have been implemented for 2d sprite rotation, seeing how ...
