Yeah, it's an interesting idea getting all you get from the hardware. Kinda reminds me of the Shenmue on Saturn video. What Yu Suzuki ended up getting out the Saturn is pretty amazing. It's definitely an inspiration. There's a sense that there's still a lot for the Saturn to do in the future...

Was wondering what motivated y'all to get into and keep developing for Saturn. I love and hate working on a platform that is from the past. One the one hand it's exciting to learn about computer hardware from the era, about programming from the era, what other developers went through, and to...

Looks good! Glad you're making some progress.

Okay, so got the color situation sorted out!

Thanks I'm going to check that out!

I'm hand making some sprites using the hex codes, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how the colors are indexed. I know that 0x8000 is black and 0xFFFF is white, and looking through some sample games I found codes for several yellows and browns, but I'm wondering if there's just a reference...

Yes, that would probably work best.

I just sent you a PM. I hope that explains it. If not, I'll be back home in a couple of hours to clear anything up.

We could tie all the categories together by making the contest about whose project has added the most value to the Saturn in x timeframe. If we had enough submissions, there could be multiple categories. Best translation, Best Game, Best Artwork, Best in Show, etc.

Alright. Lets get some more input from other people and see what comes from it, only because I'm not sure what the judging process for this would look like. Having the choice in applications sounds nice, but how would it compare to games? Judging art seems vague enough as is, and mixing...

I'm not sure if it's the same as Red Ring Rico's SDK, but if it is, just go down to the thread titled "Another Saturn SDK" and in the first post you can download the SDK with a linux installer.

There should be something for this next year. Maybe it doesn't have to be limited to games, but applications, like that engine that Facundo is working on. Just an idea to get more people involved.

There are a lot of guests on the pages. Seems like people are lazy to register :)

Are there not enough people working on Saturn games to have contests anymore, or is there still interest?

Yep it does, it just doesn't tell you that it uses binaries lol. Gotta figure that out on your own.

Thanks for pointing that out. I will check it out. Would make it super easy if I could compile everything from withing linux.

Haha. Solved again. The SGL "made-for-Unix" is incomplete. I used DosBox to compile with the regular SGL and it worked fine. Off to making some stuffs.

I get the linker error when compiling any code involving sprites. I've narrowed down specifically what code causes the problem: When I comment out this code, the error goes away. However, then I can't see any sprites. Looking on Google, there seems to be some link with the math...

Woo! Got .bin to load up! Got "Hello, Saturn" on the screen. So, either in Giri Giri or Cassini, you load up a .cue file and let it load up a sec, then you go to file in the top left corner, and select "Load Exec" and it shows up! Some .bin files aren't loading up, but at least I got it...

Well, none of the emulators are working. The Cassini "range check error" is fixed by making sure that you don't leave the CDROM drive option clear. It has to say at least "no drive". Also, I found out the BIOS file must be named either EURO.bin or CASS.bin, depending on the version of Cassini...
