My last sms plus ?

[vbt]

Well, I start to have difficulties to improve the emu and also display bug starts to come. here are my problems :

- I have working dual CPU functions but I don't find a place to use them.

- I'm a shit in assembly

- I have no idea on how to wrtie sound

- Some sprites stay displayed when they should not

Maybe I shoud release the source if someone is interested.

This version has zoomed sprites and BG but the sprites have got bad look on a real Saturn (comparing to the Saturn bitmap zoom).

PAR version with Wonderboy included

Here is a screen from Satourne (the sprites are worse on a Saturn and the Transparency is not working on a Saturn)

 

[Runik]

This one shows something on Saturnin

Well, actually it's almost a blue screen of death without text, but it's better than nothing

I have a bunch of sprites loaded in the VDP1 ram, but they don't display and I don't know why ...

For your problems I don't know what to say, I'm not on the good side of the barrier

Good the only change is that I use scaled sprites (instead of normal sprites) and a zoomed BG.

Even giri giri has got problems to display my sprites, in fact Giri giri refresh too much the sprites I think but Satourne (first dynarec release) and have the same behavior as the real console.

Sure, but don't you make small Saturn programs to perform some tests and then improve your emu ? It must be hard to correct Saturnin and test always with full games.

The previous one jumped to address 0 and then crashed ...

Ahem ... I don't even have the compiler installed :smash

Booting games doesn't encourage you to do something by yourself

But I will install it and compile some programs in the future ...

Yes indeed, I wanted to make my own 3D race based on the SGL sample but I had problems to make correct DXF (I tried a lot of tools) and after I wasn't sure my polygons were correctly placed. I had to spend more time on this but unfortunatly, I don't have .

Here is my little messy code for SMS plus, you'll find a start of documentation using Robodoc.

Sorry it's corrected now.

 

[vbt]

Nobody is interested by my code ?

 

[vreuzon]

I'm sure there are interesting things in your code, but I don't have the time to look at it now (plus my computer is dead...). Same for my slime volleyball like Floupix : It should have been released a long time ago, since it is now "finished", along with slinga's 12 players snake; the web page is updated but not uploaded. I might have some time later (some weeks).

I am interested!!! And I want to learn SH assembly, so may be I'll be able to speed-up critical pieces eventually...

Please create a project for your SMS emulator on www.SourceForge.net. This way code will live on, even if you'll get hit by a bus (just a joke! Long live VBT)

good i'm looking for someone who is able to do that or who is able to share the emu processing between the two procs.

good idea but I'm not sure I have the right to do that, the original sms plus sources are not from me.

 

[madmalkav]

If the original sources are under GPL license there's no problem. If they don't, just ask the author.

I am REALLY interested in that source... great stuff, seriously

i'm interested in porting some emulators to the saturn, maybe i should start with an atari 2600 emulator or something.

i dont have a modchip in my saturn and have to do the swap-trick when i want to test something, which is very discouraging.

if you know of any modchip/other solutions, please tell me.

im new (for the 2nd time) to the Saturn scene.

mmm, not sure the part of the code I have written is good.

I checked already about porting a Atari 2600 but I have found no code I "liked".

You can buy an action replay with a commlink capability and a commcard to upload directly binaries tothe Saturn. The only pb is that the card needs a ISA slot.

I didnt see, on first inspection, any atari emulators with what i think would be "suitable code" but i'll look harder.

i also need to get my development environment set-up.

i see you use Dev-Cpp as an IDE, vbt. that's good, but i couldnt get your .dev file to load by default (ie the .dev int the source code above)

 

[vbt]

new source here

I have made only few changes :

- move the Z80 core from version 2.7 to 3.5

- recompiled without SEGA debug in SPR lib

- removed useless included lib and C files

 

[dhau]

Cool! Hey, you did so much work on fast SMS sprite simulation. I think it is imperative to use your emulator to produce static translations of all the great SMS games, so that they run at stable 100% speed with full sound and stuff

(mega bump) maybe not my last one.

MKon and cfgm2 on #smspower helped me a lot :cheers
