My problems are now solved. It seems that I had those problems with sizes because of differences between GCC and SGCC. While an int is 32-bit in GCC, it seems to be 16-bit in SGCC. However, there is one more thing: I can only load tile data and maps from an array if it is const . May you tell me why?

Is the advance reg set to 2 like it should be? It is, but I got exactly the same tile when attempting to set the register to different values. volatile uint *pw; pw = (uint *) GFXCNTL; ... *pw = 0x8F02; A single 32-bit write to VDP data port, like *pl = 0x22222222 , resulted in a line with the widt...

Making the pointers volatile did not work. By writing: volatile ulong *pl; pl = (ulong *) GFXCNTL; *pl = GFX_WRITE_ADDR(0); pl = (ulong *) GFXDATA; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x00000000; *pl = 0x...

After adding the label "_start" to the beginning of the startup code and making it global, the program worked partially. The program should show a tile map and generate a PSG frequency, but it did not show the tile map. The VDP debug tool available in the emulator showed that the color were properly...

I have GCC 4.7.0.

When attempting to compile a program, I got the following warning:

Code: Select all

cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 80000080
Additionally, the program (which I have compiled with SGCC before) did not work.

How can I correct it?

PSG trouble

With the help of this page , I attempted to write a C function to generate a tone by the PSG. However, I got no sound. void play_tone() { register ulong *p; p = (ulong *)0xC00011; /* 440Hz for channel 0 */ *p = 0x8E; *p = 0xF; *p = 0x90; /* Maximum volume for channel 0*/ *p = 0xBF; /* Silence on cha...

When the program plays a song or instrument, it is not loud enough.

As I said, I think that the problem is with the positions. This is the full source: #include "genesis.h" void init_gfx(); void load_tiles(); void show_tiles(); void set_colors(); unsigned int Pal[128] = { 0x0000,0x00EE,0x0E0E,0x000E,0x0EE0,0x00E0,0x0E00,0x0888, 0x0CCC,0x0088,0x0808,0x0008,0x0880,0x0...

You didn't change the value of pw, but change the value at the address of pw. Yes, I wanted to say this. Let me see if I understood: The first value that I write to the address of pw will keep at the first position from pw ; The second value that I write to the address of pw will keep at the second...

Why the value of *pw changes?
Why is not enough just one value?

I saw other detail, that looks clearer:

Code: Select all

    pw = (uint *) GFXDATA;
    *pw = 0;        /* color 0 - black */
    *pw = 0x0eee;   /* color 1 - white */
Why are the while and black colors being set in the same place?
