Before this year ends, I'll share some of my stuff to the community... Disassemblies: - Tetris (Mega Drive/Genesis) - Super Shinobi 2's SMPS Skydrive folder Hacking notes: - Divine sealing - SMPS Locations NOTE: I'm still active with my Socket research, so please someone don't lock the thread, I'll put more notes and a updated disassembly later (If I have time or whatever) Have a happy new year
Could you clarify the games for SMPS — which revisions, etc.? (There are two Yuu Yuu Hakusho games on MD; both use SMPS, for instance.) Thanks. Also did you notice that Shinobi III's sound driver has PAL correction? I believe it works for Super Shinobi 2...
All from the list are 68k (Yuu Yuu Hakusho is Treasure's) Tetris: "pre-SMPS Z80" If you guys ask why I disassembled Super Shinobi 2's SMPS, it's because I noticed that the engine is updated/rewritten (and it's better than s1's), it contains coordination flags missing from s1, and Treasure's SMPS songs works perfect
The evolution of SMPS is interesting. It appears to have been specifically MD-related; even through 1990 Sega's arcade drivers still used the older codebase. The earliest "pre-SMPS" drivers are similar to the arcade ones, of course =P The main difference is the song's data layout (not track format), which can vary from game to game on the arcades. If Shinobi III's stuff is compatible with Treasure's, who knows.
