[touko]

Hi all .

You can test the adaptation of my little bonus shmup present in the revival chase CD for the SGX .

Downloaded, will try it out later today.

Aww... Doesn't work in the emulator on my phone. Will have to try it on a computer later tonight.

Works fine on mednafen .

Did I mention how awesome it is that you make SGX homebrews?

Thanks 

EDIT: Raaah i forgot to reactivate the countdown sequence in this build 

The next build will fix the some persistant bugs present on true hardware .

FYI, it's not working for me, either, and I'm using Mednafen.

"WELCOME!"

works on real hardware , all those layers...

if you hit select to get back to the main menu that has gfx glitches but otherwise works.

Neat-o

[touko]

Have you activated the sgx suport on mednafen ?

@dicer:arf this was tested only on emulator, and of course it works fine,thanks for reporting that.

EDIT:@dicer, my bad, there is effectively a bug when returning to menu,it will be corrected with the next release .

Have you activated the sgx suport on mednafen ?

Whoops ... my bad!

Yes, it works, I just had to rename it to a ".sgx" instead of a ".pce".  :oops:

Nice!

[touko]

Yes but if you put pce.forcesgx 1 in your mednafen .cfg,it works even with a .pce .

[elmer]

Yes but if you put pce.forcesgx 1 in your mednafen .cfg,it works even with a .pce .

That's fine for me as a developer ... but a lot of folks don't just randomly edit mednafen.cfg.

And if they do that, then they'll be bitten by the titles that don't work on a SuperGrafx without disabling VDC2.

May I suggest that you just rename it to a ".sgx" so that Mednafen can automatically detect what it is rather than expecting people to know that they've got to edit mednafen.cfg in order for it to work?

Yes, and to be true, i forgot that only by changing extension,this is solving the problem

I tested it on my Ted in my SuperGrafx. I use a framemiester XRGB-mini and the screen will go in and out like it loses the picture or like when a game changes resolution the framemiester has to re-sync itself.

I can watch the End of game screen without issue and the start screen. But the game it self I can kill about 3-4 enemies before the screen goes black then comes back on the end of game screen.

Yes, it's because i switch to HIRES/LOWRES in vblank to speedup all dma transferts, but something is wrong with the true hardware(wrong with my code of course), i'll desactivate this switch in the next release

Strange, i tested again with my sgx, and i don't have this problem .

[MNKyDeth]

Well, it's the framemiester re-syncing. The screen goes black. I die, once I see the screen again it is on the end game screen. So I think it's the same issue for me.

Flappy bird works great

Also, is there a location we can peruse for all your projects? The link in your sig seems to be dead...

No DMA routine in vblank

It's a Friday, and nearly drinking-time, so I'm going to paraphrase the immortal Inigo Montoya once more ...

"I do not think that optimization does what you think it does." 

Just one brilliant-idea too far ... and every good programmer has made that mistake before!
