Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. Another advantage being I can customize MDPPY to my liking. I was thinking of modifying it so that it outputs C structs as well since that's how I'd prefer the data to be formatted as.

Great! Can't wait.

How often are releases done?

A use case is exactly what you did in your first post : VDP_setTileMapRect(APLAN, map2, TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL3, 0, 0, 0, 0), 0, 0, 2, 2); I'll try to clarify what I meant. The use case I meant was the behavior of the or operator on the basetile and the dereferenced src. Ignoring TILE_ATTR_FULL, if my ...

How do I get at the data from an genres imported .fmp file?

What does the data type look like?

Thanks!

Ah, I see. So in my case, if the base tile is 1, then my array would be computed like so: const u16 map2[4] = { 0, // -> 0 | 1 -> 1 1, // -> 1 | 1 -> 1 2, // -> 2 | 1 -> 3 3 // -> 3 | 1 -> 3 }; As Stef mentions, several people have been tripped up by this. The function doesn't work as most people ex...

Hi, I'm encountering an issue with VPD_setTileMapRect. I'm not sure if it's a bug or I'm just not using it properly. I've tried to simplify the problem as much as possible. Here's some basic code I have. const u16 map2[4] = { 0, 1, 2, 3 }; VDP_setTileMapRect(APLAN, map2, TILE_ATTR_FULL(PAL3, 0, 0, 0...

Has anybody ever taken a scart cable and used it on a north american Genesis II with a scart-to-component converter? Expensive?

I have a few basic questions about VDP_setHorizontalScroll() as I'm not sure what kind of behaviour I should be expecting. I've seen other threads about the topic but I still haven't been able to wrap my head around it. - To confirm: If I want to scroll the whole background layer as one big piece, a...

Ah, I see. Thanks!

I've seen that the amount of sprites available is dependent on the resolution chosen, 80 in 320 pixel wide display or 64 in 256. Why would one choose one over the other? H/V blank times? Lower resolution means more time for game logic? Also, sprites sizes are said to be 8x8 up to 32x32. Do the diffe...

Yes, that's what I meant.

That's what I figure. My sprites are nothing but blobs on screen.

I'm using GenRes through the SGDK. I've noticed there's a setting for sprites in the resource file that enables "compression", but it's not clear to me how I would use that. Does it actually compress images when the .bin is being created? Or is it just a flag indicating that the data I'm adding as a...

I suppose I'd need a tv that supports scart for that to work for me. I don't have one and there aren't very many in Canada

I'm not a hardware modder, so I'm limited to the cables available

I have a North American Genesis II. I understand that PAL Megadrive consoles can do RGB through scart.

Hi,

Do the AV Cables for Genesis II give it a that much better picture than with the RF box? I'm not expecting s-video/component quality, but for the 5 or 6 bucks some are selling it online I wonder if it's a good, cheap upgrade.

Thanks,
