How About Making Another World Songs And Sounds YM2151/YM2164, VERA PSG And PCM Hey not exactly sure what you mean there, but I considered using the YM2151 and ripping the tracks from the Megadrive version, however there was a suggestion by badmai earlier in this thread offering a way to use PCM au...

Thanks for compliments - it keeps me motivated :) Do you mean my desktop or the game resolution? I'm using the gif recorder from the emulator. I don't actually own a CX16 yet. The original game was 320x200 on the Amiga. It's the same res on the MS-DOS version (where my assets come from). The CX16 ve...

Hi Everyone, another little update. Things have been going slow but I have definitely made some great progress... GRAPHICS Re-wrote the graphics renderer (again). I think this will be the final version of the polygon renderer. It still doesn't use the VERA FX line helper, but I've run out of energy ...

It's really not. Yes, you could write a program that looks like DOS, but it would not be DOS. I mean, isn't that any port of any software? I reckon it could be done. CP/M was ported to commodore 64. DOS is based on CP/M. Yes dos has a different memory addressing system (I already acknowledged that)...

Hey sorry for the late reply - yes I am writing Another World from scratch in 65c02 asm. I guess the point I was making was that given it's a 16-bit game that pushed the limits of the Amiga, then it's probably possible to port any 16-bit software (including DOS) to the CX16. The original amiga versi...

Slight change of subject but does the emulator "emulate" vsync? Because I've not used the proper hardware and have never had any issues with vblank timing like screen tearing etc.

Thanks for the tip! That might work really well actually. The only issue I can see with the multi-channel interleaving is the less channels playing at once the quieter it gets. But you could probably overcome that by duplicating active channels onto empty channels or dynamically changing the sample ...

Most people use the BASIC load address of $801 to get their programs going. And that makes sense because that's how the C64 did it. But because the CX16 has it's own VRAM, the memory space from $400 - $7FF (1kb) is free for use. The C64 used that memory for the screen I understand. Soooo.... What ar...

$9FB8 to $9FBB in X16EMU is the 32-bit counter.

I wonder if you could also extend the VIA timer by using VIA #2?

The engine is looking close to finished! Well done on the job! Are the views sprites or drawn to the bitmap layer? In my version I was using sprites which presents it's own challenges but I always assumed they'd be faster than a heap of pixel gets/sets. I had sound working in my unfinished implement...
