			Actually I have 2 different versions of Saturnin : one with the Saturn debugger enabled, the other without (which is faster). I never released the debugger version (mainly because ... it has bugs and also because it isn't complete) but it might change

			Good you say it, I'm sure it will be really interesting.

			I added the timer1 counter, and some games liked it I don't know why I have those weird resolutions on some games

		M3d10n		Apr 14, 2004
			Interlaced modes, perharps? Some games have these odd habits of going into high res mode, but simply scale the VDP1 buffer to fill the screen, in what seems an attemp to get a "sharper" look. But it only results in a overly pixelated output, with tons of high res shimmering, but no actual high-res graphics, apart from some GUI stuff. Good examples are Elan Doree and D-Xhird.

That's what I thought, but there should be something displayed stating that. Maybe some of my code is wrong ... I'll check it tonight.

Anyway, if it's that, I will have to render the screen line by line instead of one block at once ...

			Yay ! My exam is done, I'm back to coding I did some work on mal's favorite: Taisen Tant-R Sasi-su! It looks better, but it still have huge graphical flaws ... (I'm working on it)

			After figuring out the color problem on the distorded sprites, Super Major League looks better :

		Runik		Apr 26, 2004
			I did a lot of work on the VDP2 core and on the sprite colors, there's a lot of nice things showing up Cotton Boomerang title screen looks better Dynamite Deka is there ! Ejihon looks a lot better with some backgrounds Elan Dorée looks also better Some more Sassisu! shots Super Major League And last but not least : Virtua Fighters Remix ! (who munched them ? :lol: )

		vbt		Apr 26, 2004
			Nice improvements :thumbs-up: I guess (well I hope ) the release will come soon

		mal		Apr 26, 2004
			They look fantastic! :banana You're making excellent progress.

		IBarracudaI		Apr 26, 2004
			looking nice.. But... is it just me, or satourne (and MAME's ST-V) development is "stopped" ? Haven't heard any news in a while... what's the problem? lack of information? or just no free time?

I need to work on the GUI, but a new release might popup in a not too long time

I also have to figure out why Radiant Silvergun doesn't work anymore ... (I guess something is broken in my timer handling '

			Fabien gave me some infos on the SCU DMA transfer, resulting in some better display on some games. Baku Baku Animals doesn't need a hack to start anymore. Unfortunately I still have bugs in my code, so some of the sprites that were displayed before aren't anymore (like the "cotton boomerang" sprite) Columns 97 needs scrolling handling (the black vertical bars) Astra Superstars is better ! (the last screenshot is quite messy ) Shanghai The Great wall is also improved Virtual Mahjong is booting ! And last but not least : Winter Heat !!!

		Alexvrb		Apr 30, 2004
			Impressive.

		Runik		May 10, 2004
			I corrected a major bug in my sound core : memory hacks were still used when I didn't needed them anymore. This makes Shienryu and Princess Purikura playable I also added color offset calculation function, resulting in some nice fade-in fade-out effects On a side note saturnin have its own forums now : there..., and Satourne also The 0.20 release will be soon, as I finished docs and faqs : I just need to fix a little problem that decreases performances (like if I needed that right now ) Shienryu is playable ! Princess Purikura looks nice with some desactivated planes Playfield is finally visible in Ejihon Winter Heat credits are fixed And the color offset calculation is finally showing (the pic doesn't look too good, but that's because scrolling is still missing ...)

			Just a line to say that Saturnin 0.20 is released
