new amazing tech demo on the way "vbt proudly presents" |
Tiviat | Sep 2, 2023 | |||
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that maybe a demo for a platformer or something entertaining is in order for this. Hopefully platformer... |

Don't know if any of you have seen, but this guy has put up a video of a sort of POC port of Metal Gear Solid to the Saturn
I have messaged him and suggested he submits it to the contest. |

Many 'alive' proyects this year, i´m sure enough that they will give a lot of visibility to the console and its homebrew possibilities |

@JBeretta... Nice stuff with Cold case ! However, the Satiator complains about invalid headers for tracks 1, 3, 4 and 5. Opening and exporting those tracks to wav with Audacity solved the issue. |
JBeretta | Oct 25, 2023 | |||||
Thanks for this! tested it the other day and it was fine but won't load the tracks now! i've done what you said and it's ok now, have re-uploaded |
fafling | Oct 26, 2023 | |||||
Yes, v0.11 works fine on the Satiator. FYI, using MediaInfo, I noticed that all the problematic tracks in v0.1 had the producer field set at "Logic Pro X". A small detail, but the health gauge and the half transparent rectangles under the pause menu or the messages are slightly rotated clockwise. It creates a small aliasing and an overdraw vertical line in the center of the half transparent rectangles. Is it intended ? |
JBeretta | Oct 26, 2023 | |||||
i'm not sure why it looks like that - its not intentional! i'm using the jo_engine functions "jo_sprite_change_sprite_scale_xy" to change the scale and "jo_sprite_draw3D" to draw it. thought it might be a glitch due to using scaled sprites and transparency |

in jo if you rotate the sprite, than its not rotated correctly at 90 deg intervals, there is slight dicrepancy (2-3deg) |

I love seeing what the talented devs in this community come up with every year. Especially with genres or series that had little to no representation on the console during its original life span, or that ran poorly because of the various issues back in the day. This year, Cold Case has really captured my attention as well as the Metal Gear demo. Translations are always exciting and the visual novels for fans of that genre are great. The one genre that is practically nonexistent on the Saturn that I'd love a good homebrew effort for is a Mario Kart style game. Even the Jaguar has Atari Karts while the PS1 has Crash Team Racing. Imagine a 32-bit Sonic All Stars racing with Joe Musashi throwing Ninja Stars at Sonic. LOL |

I tested Cold Case on Fenrir and it worked very well |

Did you have to do anything in particular? My Fenrir crashes at Apt.tga File not found for some reason. |

In jo_engine\sprite.c, try these 2 changes to prevent Jo from using an angle of 1 instead of 0 :

Thanks fafling, that's fixed the issue! |

@not-AI-generated... , Cool stuff. Obviously you will get more people to try out your game if you implement controller support. But I'm sure you know that and ran out of time.
I swear there is a memory mapped register you can use for random (pseudo random?) values on the Saturn. If not you can grab the time and seed that (with obvious issues of the year being 1994 because of the player's dead battery....). |

well done @cafe-alpha... and thanks for the good times |
Fandu | Jan 20, 2024 | |||
Less than 4 hours to go. Just thanks and good luck to all the participants, this is a present and the best day of the year as a Saturn user. I miss many other entries seen over 2023 i just hope you the best and keep going in the future with the proyects. Thanks again. |
