Tictactoe for saturn

Reinhart - May 25, 2002

		Reinhart	May 25, 2002
		Here is my first attempt a t doing a Saturn prog. It's a (very) simple tictactoe. Take it as an alpha release. Feedbacks are welcome ... download it at : http://membres.lycos.fr/reinhart01/morpion.zip...

		well if you didn't post a corupted .ZIP file I'd test the program for you...

		I was going to say something about it earlier but I figured my download just got mangled and internet explorer wasn't un-caching the link.

		It was most likely corrupted during the upload or something. WinZip says it's missing 3 bytes.

		d00d, its our first fake saturn app! vaporware!!! j/k good luck with tic tac toe, just hope someone makes another paper rock scissors, like yakyuken special.

		Shame on me !! I should have verifying if the fle was corrct before posting. Everything shouldbe ok now ... I guess my ftp client is in fault :| (I will punish myself by not using the saturn for 3 weeks !)

		Have a question... ? .... is this for using on the Pro Action Replay... or can it be burned to CD... because I can't read the bin file with any program... IsoBuster or WinISO... if it's for Pro Action replay... then I can't test this file...

		SkankinMonkey	May 27, 2002
		He said he only tested it with an emulator so you might need to bust out some daemon tools.

		MasterAkumaMatata	May 27, 2002
		That BIN file is not an image file, it's a Saturn binary file like the 0.BIN file I mentioned in my Experiment thread....

		AmyGrrl	May 28, 2002
		ok... well I took the 2 files in the ZIP... and made a standard ISO... then added my SFIII bootstrap to it... and it boot in ssf.exe fine... but it look pretty crappy.... not going to waste a CD for it...

		Hey Reinhart, doing Saturn Programming myself, I'm VERY interested in your "tictactoe" game. 1. Could you make an ISO of it ? 2. More important : do you mind releasing the sources ? Thanks ! Djidjo

		MasterAkumaMatata	May 28, 2002
		I've made an ISO of it using my SFA2 bootstrap, burned to CD-R, and tested on my modded Saturn to find out that it doesn't work. ???

		Cool to see someone new who makes Saturn games! I am learning it myself. Sorry, but i can´t try it. Good work, though.

		I finally got arount to testing this with a Commlink setup. It displays this... and then crashes.

		Reinhart	Jun 2, 2002
		(sigh ...) For a first attempt it is really a poor attempt I'm back to work ...

		DBOY	Jun 2, 2002
		Good luck man!

		It's not easy to get things working on an emulator to work on real hardware. (Depends on the emu, of course.) Not having played around with any Saturn emulators nor with SGL, I'd recommend making sure you initialize everything and not depend on any "magic" values that may or may not be present. For instance I assume that the main memory is zeroed out in the emu, but you can't rely on that being true on the Saturn. The Action Replay may also leave the hardware in a state not expected by your program. Look at it in a positive way, at least you got something to display on the screen, which is more than I've been able to do yet.
