Why no VDP_PLAN_WINDOW?

I wonder why all the tile functions only take plane A and B - how should we use the window plane?

Video problems on hw

I have a larger rom, 2.6mb, that works perfectly in several emulators, but when run on hardware, the video is corrupted in many ways (sometimes tiles in wrong parts, sometimes black screen), though the game runs fine - music continues to play and sound effects happen as they should. I protect VDP ac...

Re: Anyone with a Genesis and ability to record audio?

Thanks. I've read many of those before though.

Echo is not a requirement, I can use any engine/driver, but it seems none have good tools.

It's pretty weird to me that the Yamaha chip is so capable, and then nobody has used it for much. It's even used in some real synths.

Re: Anyone with a Genesis and ability to record audio?

Hm, I only looked at Echo, which seemed to be the most useful sound system, but it had absolutely terrible tool support. VGMMaker seems to be Windows-only, and Deflemask is closed source, so they are both out. The Yamaha chip in Genesis is said to be a fully capable synthesizer, able to play six not...

Re: Anyone with a Genesis and ability to record audio?

It is a chiptune, but I used a PCM rendering of it, because of how PITA chiptunes are on the genesis. rant on: Seriously, having to define your own instruments with a non-existent tool, then having to use a tracker that has no knowledge of those instruments, being unsure of how anything will even so...

Re: Anyone with a Genesis and ability to record audio?

Oh, it's a hw fault? That's disappointing, but understandable. Would be nice to be documented in sound.h then.

Anyone with a Genesis and ability to record audio?

We're wondering if the 4PCM driver is buggy, or if the issue is just with emulators. Anyone here have a Genesis + flashcart + ability to record directly from it, e.g. with a stereo cable right to the sound card's line-in? Test ROM: https://github.com/Stephane-D/SGDK/files/47252/rom.pdf What it shoul...
