A small thing i did for PCFX...
« on: September 14, 2015, 11:54:56 AM »
It was really sad seeing the PCFX with not a single homebrew working on real hardware.
trap15 then released liberis but it still is much work-in-progress but it can be used for text-based games.
So i worked on my very simple game and i thought my game was going to be the first working homebrew game for PCFX.
I later learned that matej did it first with Soviet Union 2010.
Yeah... But it's still the first homebrew game programmed in ANSI C for PCFX ! lol

Simple Battle FX is a RPG but without towns, shops or anything like that, just the fightings.
There's a DUEL mode, where you just fight a regular enemy with standard stats.
Then, there's the SURVIVAL mode, where you try to go as far as you can until you lose.

Like i said, it's very simple.

My next goal is to make a Tetris clone using the text mode
with some PSG music. (i hope)

Don't ask what the PC-FX can do for you; ask what you can do for the PC-FX. Love the name btw!

Congratulations, you had the perseverance to fight through all the difficulties and get it done!  :clap:

It looks like a classic old game from back-in-the-day.  :D

Why guys, thanks !
Hopefully trap15 can implement proper support for CDDA tracks so you can have kickass music for this game.
(yes, a text-based game with CD quality music... Never saw that in my life i've got to say lol)

I wish Liberis had better support for graphics because everything else is low-level, i think all we can do is wait...
Anyways, i think i should work on that Tetris clone real fast.

I think that you're going to have to wait for me to implement all the missing functionality.  :(

Alex has abandoned liberis, but is happy for me to keep on developing it ...

I'm not all that interested in PC-FX development anymore though. First I got angry at the GCC being really broken (the wonders of GCC pre-3), then I was angry at the system for being so weak and underperforming. Maybe when you release this I'll take another crack at some dev. Glad to hear eris was of some use to somebody :P

Rename game to "Fist of the North Star", rename attacks to Hokuto Shinken attacks, put Heart of Madness on CDDA playing during the game on loop.

Thank me later.

Welcome aboard, gameblabla.  It's nice to see the PC-FX getting some homebrew attention.  :mrgreen:

i knew someone would ask something like this, lol.
I guess you will have to wait for the CDDA track though.

I was wondering why he didn't updated the repo since last year...
I guess we'll never see his pc-engine emulator for PCFX even close to Alpha state.

Other than GCC 4.5, what have you done already on liberis ?
Do you have a repo for it ?
Because i personally would like to check your progress on liberis.

Anyways, it's good someone is working on it, even slowly.
I hope in the future i can come up with something better than this game.
Good luck

Hahaha ... errr ... I've been a little too busy to get back to it for a while!  :roll:

I did get the time to update the V810 support from binutils 2.22 to 2.23.2, but I still really want to get GCC support up from 4.5.4 to 4.7.4 in order to take advantage of some of the C11 features that they added.

There's no repo, yet. I'll create one when I believe that things are stable enough to be worth sharing.

Improving liberis is going to have to wait for the compiler updates so that it can take advantage of the modern C language features.

Great to see something new on PC-FX. Could be great if a complete game could be made for this underrated system! Keep up the good work Gameblabla.
