			hello, i'd just like to show you all my demo.... it runs on real hardware so you all can safely try it on the saturn! (you'll need to make a valid iso first) well, enjoy and read the message!

			Neat , if anyones too lazy or stupid like me to make a iso of this just use WinISO and insert it into vbts menu (http://vberthelot.free.fr/SX_contest/VBT.ace... contains the menu i think). Happy Birthday

Thanks for your work, I'll try the demo asap.

For ISO creation (on windows) download:

- http://www.rockin-b.de/saturn/Mkisofs.exe.zip...

- http://www.rockin-b.de/saturn/Cygwin1.dll.zip...

In the same directory:

- create a new directory like "cd",

- get yourself an IP.BIN from SaturnOrbit/COMMON/ or any of my sourcecode or emu or SoundPlayer downloads (all multiregion)

- create a batch file containing:

Code:

    del cd.iso

mkisofs -sysid "SEGA SATURN" -volid "MyApp" -volset "MyApp" -publisher "SEGA ENTERPRISES, LTD." -preparer "SEGA ENTERPRISES, LTD." -appid "MyApp" -abstract "ABS.TXT" -copyright "CPY.TXT" -biblio "BIB.TXT" -generic-boot IP.BIN -full-iso9660-filenames -o cd.iso cd

Put bday.bin into the "cd" folder (and maybe ABS.TXT, CPY.TXT, BIB.TXT).

Finally run the batch file to create the ISO.

			I just tried the demo. Congratulations, you used quite some interesting features like line scroll and LUT based sprites. Really nice, seems like you coded all you need (sound?) to make a little game, he? Will you release source or library sometimes? If you are interested in non-SBL/SGL code, there is much of that from Charles MacDonald. Keep it going! :cheers

			thanks, yeah i read the docs to get an idea of what i need to do. i also got help from the great people at #yabause. i will release the library and source once i get the foundation done (a better link script and make files) i hope once the library is done, mostly everyone will abandon sega's libraries.

			Congrats for your demo. It is very nice. But isn't the text a bit too long ? :thumbs-up:

		mrkotfw		Sep 17, 2005
			yes it is i'll create a game once i understand a few more things (interrupts, vdp2 vertical scroll, scu in general)
