@MaxwelOlinda1 Sobre o emulador, eu gosto do no$sns só pra ver a VRAM e o OAM em tempo real, acho mais amigável, mas todo resto do debug uso no Mesen também, porém nenhum, nem o Bnes, conseguiu ter a fidelidade de stream de dados do console real, afinal lá você vê no vídeo: não carrega tudo.

@faeldaniel Boa! Pelo que mostrou da vram viewer, muitas tiles vazias também estão sendo transferidas, né? Isso limita mais o tempo de v-blank. O único problema de contornar isso é que a engine de sprites fica muito mais complexa. Recomendo usar o Mesen como debugger aliás, é muuuito bom.

First tests of basic animation mechanics on the SNES! There's still a lot of optimization needed, but we already have good results. #projectF #SNES #Genesis #homebrew

@MaxwelOlinda1 Estou injetando o máximo de propósito. Minha abordagem é trabalhar em etapas (1>vblank>2 >vblank) onde cada uma executará certas mecânicas. Funcionando, vou criar um app pra uma tabela com os sprts relevantes que o jogo deve carregar, com isso, sobrará recursos pra outras coisas

@ThePALDefender In the console, I assume it's a bit over 6000 bytes, but in this example, 4068 bytes (approximately 128 tiles with 4bpp) of only 1 character each, in this case we have 2, so it can't send them all completely. But I have an idea to send one at a time.

@faeldaniel This is sick, I love seeing progress like this. Just asking in case you can find out easily, how much data does a frame of animation typically use up?

@iNCEPTIONALNEWS @DaminMance Thanks, my brother, and let's see how far this goes. Hahaha

@faeldaniel @DaminMance Hey, you've already taken bigger first steps than me in relation to any real working SNES development, so all respect to you, good sir. :D

@iNCEPTIONALNEWS @DaminMance Exactly! Something really complex, but that's what I'm trying to do.

@faeldaniel @DaminMance But no one should be worrying about redesigning an entire existing in-progress SNES fighter engine for that idea of mine. It would requiring designing an entire system from scratch with that very specific approach in mind in the first place. It's just my own thoughts.

@iNCEPTIONALNEWS @DaminMance Everything is conceptual and there's a lot I don't fully understand. But I've already taken the first steps.

@DaminMance @faeldaniel That's surely just a display bug or something. I'm going to assume that's simply us seeing unfinished work.

@iNCEPTIONALNEWS @DaminMance I believe it would be impossible without sacrificing all the other processes. There's no point in having huge dynamic sprites if the input, AI, physics (and we haven't even gotten to the audio processor yet) can't keep up, and every extra strain on VBlank starts to look strange

@DaminMance @faeldaniel I'm curious, have you ever seen a SNES game streaming in and animating nearly 400 new 2bpp tiles per frame? I'm assuming when you refer to "animation" here, you mean streaming new tiles... otherwise animation is an artistic skill that's not specifically linked to any tech spec.

@iNCEPTIONALNEWS He's truly amazing. The problem is that it's not just sprites here; there's a whole data flow mechanism involved that demands a lot from the hardware.

@faeldaniel Very nice. You might also want to get in touch with Maxwel Olinda at some point too—he created a very impressive SNES Samurai Shodown fighting demo featuring two huge Earthquake sprites, and could possibly offer some additional valuable insight on the SNES side.

@SNESTesterAlex These are all shelved projects that I'm finally having time to play around with. This is already an engine to be used in something similar, and who knows, maybe I'll release some tech demos with something from KOF.

@faeldaniel is there anything you are not doing? :D Are planning to create a proper KoF game on SNES?

@SNESTesterAlex Yes, I intend to! Right now I'm trying to learn how to make the track physics as natural as possible. Overall, that's the biggest challenge; the rest will all be done via sprites, and in a way, that's easier.

@faeldaniel Will you add street signs and trees and other stuff? I always thought this was able to add way more depth to such racing games. It wasn't as much of a thing in Top Gear as it should have been...

#projectR #snes #homebrew - v0.20; - Track Map mechanics; - Increased horizontal range; - New horizontal perspective effect; - Fluidity in the game mechanics; - Visual glitchs on the track fixed; - More optimizations;

This type of optimization is incredible. #snesdev #snes #homebrew

Once this project is fully stable and functional, I will make it available to the community.. #snesdev #snes #homebrew

@alekmaul The fork you created of TinyCC. I generally use many of your tools in my projects, although I created my own library with only what I need. But in this specific case, since I intend to use the code for Genesis, I opted to use C entirely and ASM for the specific console functions.

@faeldaniel oh, C language :O! which compiler are you using?

#projectF #SNES #Genesis is coming...

@Voultar Great idea! I have a lot of Japanese too and I'll consider doing that.

My back-log isn't just Edge-Enhancer installs! Final Fantasy IV has been translated to a more "accurate" English localisation for this customer using my SNES 8 Megabitz! A non destructive way to translate and modify original carts! Back to work!

@STC267 Fight!

@RheoGamer Realmente impressionante o seu trabalho pro nosso megão! Coisa linda de mais.
