No matter how bad it sounds, I'm sure the reality will be much, much worse.
I wrote a subroutine to calculate the CRC32 of a section of ROM/RAM. It can process a whole 512kB ROM in about 3 seconds. Not sure what anyone...

This isn't the fault of your compressor, but several of the nem files in Sonic 1 had two bytes of padding for no particular reason. I had to...
Very nice work. I'll add it to my disassembly later.
It's the dust cover.
Apparently I can still access the settings file, so I raised the loop limit from 2000 to 3000.
I also happen to have written a program for doing just that: https://github.com/cvghivebrain/CmpCompare GHZ main level graphics: Uncompressed...
I wrote my own high speed compression format: https://github.com/cvghivebrain/HiveRLE Compression ratios aren't great, but they generally seem...
Sonic 1 levels are also interleaved. The header is only present on the compressed data ("cropped" might be a better way to describe it) in the...
Perfect, thanks!
I don't know any C# so writing a new class file is probably out of the question. I did try using Sonic 2's format but it failed to load. Perhaps...
I'm trying to load level layouts for Sonic 1 in a "raw" format, meaning no width/height header, and expanded to $80 by 8 bytes. The background and...
That saved me 2 cycles. Every little helps, especially for code running 10 or 15 times a frame. I don't know about Sonic 2, but in Sonic 1...
Funnily enough, it didn't. It is shockingly similar though. There must only be one good way to optimise that subroutine. That post is from 2019...

BradyGames used to sell e-guides directly from their website. I don't think they're listed on the wiki. Are any ebooks listed for that matter?...
I never saw any, or heard of anyone owning, pirate DC games. There seemed to be a big market for pirate PS1 games though. Some people regularly...
I'd like the Mega Drive to have better graphics hardware based on the System 16B, which came out around the same time. Also VRAM should have been...
