Good point. I'll try to avoid this problem using the 68K driver

Isn't it z80_tfm.s80 file?

You just need to modify the makefile.gen file : Replace %.s: %.tfc $(BINTOS) -align 32768 $< with %.s: %.tfc $(BINTOS) $< and it should reduce dramatically the size of your rom, but it may broke the TFM driver. Yep, it broke the driver. Do you use the 68k driver or the Z80 one ? I dunno :oops: Just...

Did some tests.

I compiled an old SGDK project without the align parameter and it generated a smaller rom. Haven't tested much.

I compiled my current project using the Uwol method. Of course it generated a smaller rom too but some tracks sounds really bad.

I shall answer myself.

I managed to shrink the rom from 768KB to 384KB ROM by using bin2h.exe (from Uwol source, thanks, Shiru!) instead of bintos.exe

Looks there's something weird in the SGDK / bintos.exe

All .o files compiled from .tfm are about 33-36kB, no matter its original size. Isn't it too much? How can I reduce it?

I recently found this problem in my actual project in last SGDK</unuseful_reply>

- Edit:
Somebody move to the SGDK subforum, please

VDP_setPaletteColor(PAL2, 0x000E ); /** * \brief * Set RGB color to specified palette entry. * * \param index * Color index to set (0-63). * \param value * RGB intensity to set in the specified color index. */ void VDP_setPaletteColor(u16 index, u16 value); VDP_setPaletteColor doesn't accept "PAL2"...

All my code uses a different header for every project since they all use different header info. What trouble did you have trying to put the header in the project directory? It seems a simple enough change to the makefile in the project directory - just use the current directory for the path to the ...

Hmmm, /me thinking about a configuration file + command line tool executed in the makefile to modify the rom.bin could do the work...

Thanks for sharing. I also found SND_stopPlay_TFM() in sound.c

Seems VDP_setScrollingMode doesn't restore horizontal scroll by plane if it were previously set by tile. Not tested by line or vertical. VDP_setScrollingMode ( HSCROLL_TILE, VSCROLL_PLANE ); ... VDP_setScrollingMode ( HSCROLL_PLANE, VSCROLL_PLANE ); // doesn't work VDP_setReg ( 0x0B, 0 ); // resets ...

How?

You can use spriteDefCache array to get sprite data

Good point. I think I'll go that way.

Playing multiple TFD's files via SND_startPlay_TFM function I notice a weird behavior. Can't describe what's exactly wrong and also can't say why it happens, but music certainly doesn't sound like it should. Can someone point about what's going on? ---------------------------------------------------...
