nbg1 test

i'm having some problems in getting tiles displayed, it could be yabause not supporting a few things but i'd also like to know what i'm doing wrong.

well, here's what the code below does: it displays a 256 color 16x16 made up of 8x8 tiles. i think the problem is telling the saturn where the tiles and map data is stored.

#include <color.h>

#define NBG0_CEL_ADR (VDP2_VRAM_A0)

#define NBG0_MAP_ADR (VDP2_VRAM_A0 + 0x1000)

#define NBG0_COL_ADR (VDP2_COLRAM)

int

main(void)

{

  int j = 0;

  clear_vdp();

  TVMD = HRESO0 | VRESO0 | BDCLMD;

  BGON = N1ON;

  CHCTLA = N1CHCN0;

  RAMCTL = VRAMD | VRBMD;

  MPABN1 = N1MPA0 | N1MPB0;

  MPCDN1 = N1MPA0 | N1MPB0;

  back_screen((void *)BACK_CRAM,RGB(28,20,16));

  vram(nbg0_gfx,(u8 *)NBG0_CEL_ADR,SIZE(nbg0_gfx));

  pram(nbg0_pal,(u16 *)NBG0_COL_ADR,SIZE(nbg0_pal));

  TVMD |= DISP;

  for(;;)

  {

	while((TVSTAT & 8) == 0);

	*(u16 *)(NBG0_MAP_ADR + j) = 0x0;

	*(u16 *)(NBG0_MAP_ADR + (j + 1)) = 0x2;

	j++;

	while((TVSTAT & 8) != 0);

  }

  return 0;

}

void

clear_vdp(void)

{

  int j;

  u16 *vdp2_io = (u16 *)(VDP2_VRAM_A0 + 0x180000);

  for(j = 0; j < 0xFF; j++)

  {

	vdp2_io[j] = 0x0;

  }

}

void

back_screen(void *adr, u32 col)

{

  u32 *vram_s = (u32 *)adr;

  BKTAU = (((*vram_s >> 17) & 0x7) | (col & 0x8000));

  BKTAL = ((*vram_s >> 1) & 0xFFFF);

  *(u32 *)vram_s = (col & ~0x8000);

}

void

vram(const u8 *dat, void *adr, u32 len)

{

  int j;

  u8 *vram_s = (u8 *)adr;

  for(j = 0; j < len; j++) {

	*vram_s++ = *dat++;

  }

}

void

pram(const u16 *dat, void *adr, u32 len)

{

  int j;

  u16 *pram_s = (u16 *)adr;

  for(j = 0; j < len; j++) {

	*pram_s++ = *dat++;

  }

}

well, i guess i don't really need help with the code above but a nice explaination of how to use nbg in general will be good enough. i've read the manual but i don't really understand words like: cell, patterns. the way i look at it is: tiles and meta tiles. any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

[Omni]

If I recall correctly, the manual just uses cells and patterns like tiles in connotation: they're just collections of pixels that can be placed in different orders on a plane. Rather than a bitmap, which is just a complete picture (rather than an assembly of cells/patterns/tiles/whatever).

That's really not that much help, probably, but I haven't tried anything with it so I can't say.

well, the real problem for me is where the tiles and map is stored. i don't know what registers does that.

well, let me see if i understand this correctly,

1) enable display

2) enable backgrounds

3) enable the color type

4) select the planes

5) set the tile address

6) copy tiles and palette

7) copy map

is that it or am i missing something?

Seems correct to me. Check the SGL Developer's Manual, programmer's tutorial section, scrolls (chapter 8).
