I suppose there's no need to rush anyway if the coding tools are still work in progress.

[Arkhan]

yeah..

trap15 and Ryphecha are ironing out the SCSI driver right now. Once that's done, it'll pretty much be functional.

[trap15]

Ok... It's done. SCSI now works perfect in Mednafen and on a real PC-FX.

My head hurts... 

[nodtveidt]

You forgot the proof!

you now have the tools to make this a reality.

trap15 just posted more stuff... DMA transfers are working:

Image loading using DMA from the CD:


Not safe for work.

I think this is wonderful, though it does worry me. The hobbyist niche for the FX is even smaller than the PCE. If this pulls work away from the PCE scene it means less fun for me. I don't need ANOTHER niche system in my house.

On another note, all of the SCSI and DMA code has been pushed up, so everyone can get their fill of seeing 1 more partly nude image on their PC-FX :V

No worries... this old dog won't ever give up the PCE. I have a couple of projects planned for the FX, but only ones that can't be done so easily on the PCE (or at all).

[Arkhan]

Pfsht, who doesn't need a PC-FX.  It's only the coolest thing since PCE.

I know I will be buying one....again... Wish I hadnt sold mine now..  bleh....

[Arkhan]

Yeah you need to go get one.  lol.  what were you thinking!?

I'm working on a high-level extension library for the 7up chips right now... it will put liberis's sprite functionality on-par with HuC's. Going well so far... this is relatively easy stuff. The only challenge really is the bit-twiddling of word 3 in the SATB. At present, liberis only has low-level sprite functionality, so you'd have to manage the SATB directly, which means a lot of know-how about how the SATB works. This extension library removes those details, but still leaves all the low-level functionality exposed so no existing code is broken.
