    Nice, very nice. I assume the SRAM support will work on copiers like the Super Magic Drive? Might just have to copy this ROM over to my old WinME box and load it up on my Genesis sometime.

    Due to the way this ROM works, I almost want to see it in the font used by the BBC Micro in mode 7, which was used when viewing teletext on the system. I'm sure that Retro Britfags would agree with me :)

    My first thought on seeing this was that it was very Teletext, actually. =P


    Haha, seems as if I managed to get that feeling right, then. I was actually thinking about Teletext when this came to me so =P

    I've also fixed a bug that caused Gens to hang (it can't emulate Z80 bus request right) and another bug that caused a few miscoloured dots in the palette view. Download link's the same.

    SRAM should work with a copier - it's bog standard SRAM starting at $200000, and $A130F1 is used to activate it, so there isn't any reason for it to not work, although if no SRAM is present it just starts at page 1 =P

  3. In Topic: General Project Screenshot/Video Thread

    It's almost done. Implemented some scrolling demos, as well as one for Shadow/Highlight. Unless anything comes up, this should be done by tomorrow.

    So I've been working on this little interactive VDP documentation thingie...

    (I know the video sucks, blame my PC. SFX are placeholder until I create my own.)

    Try a different video cable, especially if you're using VGA. Alternately, if that doesn't work, try a different video card.


    I had that same problem with my VGA monitor a while back. Swapped the cable for one I got when I got my first LCD back in '04, and that worked much better. I also got a lot of noise with dark colours, which that fixes. Alternatively, it could be a cap inside your monitor going bad - I've seen that cause problems with ghosting, washed out colours, and so on.

    If you're using DVI, a bad cap in the LCD driver might still be causing problems, but there might also be a problem in the DVI decoder or your cable is crappy.
