Re: Opacity
How can this be achieved? I thought I saw something a while back about layers and sprite priorities and messing with that to get a silhouette type of opacity, but I haven't been able to do that. Here's how it works. I'll use Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu as it has a clear example: Great post! Thank ...

Ugh. I'm tired of you going into EVERY THREAD trying to glorify your BEX and VB.NET shit everywhere just to try to make you look better than everyone else, and try to randomly spew your "knowledge" into regular conversations. This is MY thread, about MY tool. I found it back recently, so I released ...

Thanks for the help Oerg866! I tried to use an existing .XM file. I guess the step I was missing was assigning XM Instrument -> Echo Instrument. Now I see why you'd want to make the XM music yourself: to make sure everything fits in the Genesis sound channels. I'm off to figure out the next step. S...

Hi. I wrote this tool, and I do all my music with it, too, so I assure you, it works quite well :) It has a few bugs that aren't really breaking anything but yeah.... I should release a new version soon :V Don't use the volume column by the way, it's not supported yet... (It will be ignored) Here's ...

I wrote this tool in an early point in my research, and to be honest anything higher than 198 pixels is pretty silly to do anyway, since it won't be displayable (I think? maybe you can squeeze more out of the border area, not sure). Plus, why would you make a header if the data gets DMA'd directly t...

What would suffer the most with DMA direct color is PCM via the YM2612 - unless you only did a line or two, you'd have a BIG click everyframe. Even a low sample rate wouldn't help. But just using FM updated in the vblank wouldn't have a problem. Actually no, it's not that big of a deal. We once did...

Direct color isnt' actually as blocking. If you only use it while you need it to be, you can squeeze out a lot of CPU time. Example: One part: Image with direct color. Other part, Image with regular tiles/palette maybe? something other, like animation perhaps? And during that, use a sound driver tha...

Okay, my apologies - it seems there's a few people who DO like your original image. :D Also, I'm sorry if I stepped on your toes by releasing this demo... it was merely to give different images to demonstrate better (to me at least) how good the image could be. You'll notice that this thread is the...

Working perfectly :) And i have to agree with you, the image looks great. At least it is exactly what kind of image we imagine for a direct color mode demo. Having others examples is nice too but that demo also show us that 512 colors is definitely not enough to do nice gradients :-/ too bad we can...

It is not bad to have a separate thread for that so we can find it easily. Also the demo you posted did not worked (at least for me) where Chilly Willy ones does which may explain why people has now more interest about the method :) The original topic you are talking about is this one ? I had my bi...
