For reference, the reason "inc" works is because the Makefile is adding it to the header search path. You could have added -Ihed to your Makefile, but 'inc' and 'include' are de-facto standard names so it is best to use those. Your project root would have worked as well but it's more organized to ke...

I see; I'll look into modifying it myself then. As for internal functions which rely on it, I'm really only using SGDK for these things: -Init the VDP -Set up some VDP registers for configuration (Plane / sprite table locations, display width/height, etc) -Perform a DMA Everything else I am doing ma...

That is absolutely fine and considered best practice for splitting code across areas of functionality and data. You will want a header for every source file you create to declare your functions and data structures. This tells the compiler "there exist these functions" so when other files #include yo...

I know I am late, but if you can get to a 64-bit machine I put together a package of a prebuilt Gendev+SGDK setup for Linux 64-bit.

I like using SGDK for ease of some hardware functions but there is a lot going on I'd like the ability to disable. Is there an easy way to disable the following without modifying SGDK? -Transfer of font into VRAM; subsequent linking of font into ROM (little bit of space saving) -Ext, V, or H interru...

I played with clocking the YM2612 with a function generator. At a VERY low frequency it seemed to lose its internal state, and it may have been around 1/4. The use of DRAM would explain that. Naturally a high speed clock caused issues as well, though it went remarkably high before issues appeared.

I'm fully interested in this. If you are going to be doing any of this in C, I'd be interested in contributing if you are looking for collaborators.

I don't remember if that is what will happen in that situation, but one solution is to have your vblank routine set a flag that vblank is active, which will let your main code spin on that flag until VBlank sets it, at which point your vblank logic can occur.

I clocked my YM2612 with a function generator. It did exactly what you expected - controlling output frequency. I suspect the envelope generator will be scaled accordingly as well.

I'm just calling it what people are already calling it, I don't care what name it's given as long as it's consistent.

Hi everyone, first post here but it looks like the place to go for Sega development. I've been working on porting Lyle in Cube Sector to Sega Genesis and I thought it would be neat to offer the ability to put in a deluxe soundtrack CD to get the original game audio, so I set about implementing Mode ...
