Invite him/her over !
Neat little tech utility.

Am cross posting this thread from Sega-16 because it is too cool! Apparently one of the members from Sega-16 created a program that runs the credits "Still Alive" sequence from Portal, using a master-slave configuration and serial communication between 2 Sega Genesi via controller port #2 on both. Y...

IIRC, the music sounded quite well on my Model 2 Genny using a EDMD for the previous build; though I really should modify the DAC samples to a better quality frequency later on, since the music can drown out the game's DAC sfx.

Currently working on porting my original Ultra Air Hockey Indie game to Sega with SGDK. Essentially, it's an Air Hockey game with powerups, 3 different difficulty modes (easy, medium, and hard, each with different goal sizes), Echo Sound Engine audio, and an announcer guy. Full details about the por...

Now i need more vgm's

*Shamelesss plug. Just give some credit to me and the original authors as due

Ready? Go! https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/3528/guuq2hcamv0w77x4g.jpg In all seriousness , please keep this a friendly competition, no :wink:? Also, out of curiosity, what features will this RAM cart have? All I currently see is a giant PCB with no chips and no evidence if it even works. Pics/vide...

Now I see why you wanted the custom text characters as sprites, so that you could have pixel-precision movement of text character tiles so that they could move in a wavy motion if I am correct. In that case, you may want to treat all text characters as sprites. As you see i have trouble setting the ...

Really like the addition of the shadow highlighting towards the horizon, and the animated map parts (the purple pit lane)!

Hate to see unasnwered posts , even a topic like this

Meh, I guess the closest you are going to get is the Homebrew section of VGMRips.net

It would be a better idea to simply upload the images' tiles into the VRAM slots occupied by the built-in SDGK font, instead of making each tile its own sprite. That would save precious sprite slots and require less memory overhead than using the Sprite Engine or dealing with sprites. As for those s...

That fixed the palette issue :). ================== Another problem with the Sprite Engine regarding setting collision properties. After using rescomp with "BOX" or "CIRCLE" collision types for my in-game sprites, Code::Blocks threw errors of invalid M68k datatype declaration opcodes in the correspo...

Interesting! What other hidden things did you find while reversing?

Sorry for the double post, but one last minor issue; the code from above does not properly load the correct colors from the Eagle Sprite image into PAL2. (Specifically, VDP_setPalette(PAL2, SPR_Eagle.palette); does not seem to be working correctly) I verified that Rescomp does indeed create the corr...

What you posted worked, the Eagle tiles are now uploaded and the Eagle sprite now flies across the screen! (Although the sprite tiles overwrite a small section of the Plane A BG; though, I should be able to fix this.)

Thanks!

Actually the parameter you pass to SPR_init(..) should not be that low ! It is actually the size of the tile cache and not the number of tiles your sprite(s) is using. Actually i believe even the single eagle sprite is using more than 15 tiles (4x4 ?) so it won't be able to even allocate its tilema...
