Thanks for the information.

Were you able to trigger it in Yabause? Maybe we can get a state save and explore a bit.

i edited a file (manual.res) to be sure to get the error (i replaced TAK0 string) then when i display the game manual i get always :

on yabause it's harder, it got difficulties to display the text :

EDIT : I get the error because the CD seems to be badly rebuilt, after choosing a pinball, i get a new error window and i can control the cursor and click on EXIT.

Thanks, I'll take a look to see if I can trigger it.

Can you dump what VDP2 and VDP1 show in Yabause? I'm interested in seeing what they used.

Does the cursor work?

I packed the SMPC sample program in an iso file, ready to use in emulator.
BTW vbt, where this sample comes from ?

 

[vbt]

it's in almost all DTS CDs, i didn't notice it before, the filename is SMPCDEM.C en directory (or subdirectory) PERIPHS\SOURCE\

Wow, great !! I didn't noticed too and was desperately looking in SaturnOrbit folder ... it's sad that theses DTS CDs are not more shared outside of vintage development hardware collector circles.

In the header you quoted, the last paragraph itself ("One Intback command per Vblank. At least two SMPC Interrupts per Vblank.") is full of crispy technical informations so I definitely need to check more the other resources there 🙂

Hey @vbt , is there any way to take a look at those demos?

I can share them if needed.

Is that the demo they used in the 1994 Japanese ads?

DTS 1995-06

Both use IP.BIN from ABS folder
The IP.BIN has SEC1.BIN, SEC2.BIN and a last file (guessing SMPSYS.C) but not sure added end of IP.BIN

APP.BIN

start address: 06010000

SMPGFS1.BIN

start address: 06010000

TUT160.BIN has to be converted to .BIN from TUT160.ASM and put into cd folder
Use sh-coff-objcopy -O binary <Input Filename> <Output Filename>
sh-coff-objcopy -O binary "TUT160.ASM" "TUT160.BIN"
It is using very early GFS routines to load in TUT160.BIN
