Saturnin WIP thread
- Thread starter Runik
- Start date
Interlaced modes, perharps? Some games have these odd habits of going into high res mode, but simply scale the VDP1 buffer to fill the screen, in what seems an attemp to get a "sharper" look.
But it only results in a overly pixelated output, with tons of high res shimmering, but no actual high-res graphics, apart from some GUI stuff. Good examples are Elan Doree and D-Xhird.

I did a lot of work on the VDP2 core and on the sprite colors, there's a lot of nice things showing up 
Cotton Boomerang title screen looks better
Dynamite Deka is there !
Ejihon looks a lot better with some backgrounds
Elan Dorée looks also better
Some more Sassisu! shots
Super Major League
And last but not least : Virtua Fighters Remix ! (who munched them ? :lol: )

) the release will come soon looking nice..But... is it just me, or satourne (and MAME's ST-V) development is "stopped" ? Haven't heard any news in a while... what's the problem? lack of information? or just no free time?

Fabien gave me some infos on the SCU DMA transfer, resulting in some better display on some games. Baku Baku Animals doesn't need a hack to start anymore.
Unfortunately I still have bugs in my code, so some of the sprites that were displayed before aren't anymore (like the "cotton boomerang" sprite)
Columns 97 needs scrolling handling (the black vertical bars)
Astra Superstars is better ! (the last screenshot is quite messy )
Shanghai The Great wall is also improved
Virtual Mahjong is booting !
And last but not least : Winter Heat !!!

I corrected a major bug in my sound core : memory hacks were still used when I didn't needed them anymore.
This makes Shienryu and Princess Purikura playable
I also added color offset calculation function, resulting in some nice fade-in fade-out effects
On a side note saturnin have its own forums now : there, and Satourne also
The 0.20 release will be soon, as I finished docs and faqs : I just need to fix a little problem that decreases performances (like if I needed that right now )
Shienryu is playable !
Princess Purikura looks nice with some desactivated planes
Playfield is finally visible in Ejihon
Winter Heat credits are fixed
And the color offset calculation is finally showing (the pic doesn't look too good, but that's because scrolling is still missing ...)
