Re: Rainbow Islands development story
Well in fact, Andrew will learn later that the Amiga could do more. Actually in respect to Rainbow Islands he was specifically referring to an Amiga 1200 while developing the Playstation port. He mentioned that the Amiga 1200 would (finally) be capable of reproducing the dual background layers mode...

In what viewer can I display the picture given by this converter in *.UBI format? (Atari 520ST).
Good question. I don't even remember what the purpose of this format was.
The DUO format images, however, can be viewed with this tool: http://files.dhs.nu/files_gfx/duo_v1.zip

Re: Daimakaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts) for the Atari STE
Sorry for the late reply but the progress is still slow. Even for the Falcon version where the main issues are still the Blitter routines (instruction caching) and the bugs within the original code which lead to bus error exceptions (stack frame fixes for 68030). Obviously the sunny weather was resp...

Yes. Unfortunately changing the video counter mid screen (raster line interrupts) doesn't work so I need the real hardware.

Re: Daimakaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts) for the Atari STE
Hi Anima, Any news on the Falcon version at all? Or what you might have up your sleeve next time? Thanks, Paul Actually the Falcon version needs some more fixing before making it public. Debugging on real hardware is quite time consuming especially when you have to transfer a lot of data for each t...

Re: Daimakaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts) for the Atari STE
I'll prepare another test version in the next days which is targeted for the Falcon. I suppose that the term "next days" was too ambitious. Some serious real life things got in between. Also it's quite hard to test the Falcon version on Hatari due to some incompatibilities; so I need more...

Re: New program: "Serial Disk"
Thanks for your tests and response with the debugger screenshot. Unfortunately it seems that I have to check it with the Hatari emulator.
One last thing to check though: please try to use different virtual drive sizes like 32 MB/64 MB/128 MB. AFAIK the old TOS has problems with certain sector sizes.

Re: Bad Apple by Fenarinarsa (Atari STe demo) !!!!!
Thanks fenarinarsa for the explanation. After that, I did optimize the "codec" by using the blitter. I could have released it without using the blitter (it still can be disabled in my generator) but I *never* succeeded in using that bloody blitter in the 90s and I wanted my payback. In fac...

Re: Daimakaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts) for the Atari STE
In fact, the main problem of the CPS system, it's the huge amount of ram needed for the games, otherwise, it's perfectly fine. I think I have a good solution for the memory problem thanks to the HD file detection routines by Peter (AtariZoll). This solution is actually the reason why I mentioned th...

So getting closer to complete gameplay. Nice work! Well, actually the gameplay is complete; Yet the emulation of the CPS1 custom chips isn't. ;) What are those glitchy horizontal lines that appear every now and again, will they be cleaned from the final release? It's due to the Blitter sprite routi...

Re: Daimakaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts) for the Atari STE
Would it be fair to say 2MB was not available to most STe owners in the 90s? I mean it was possible, but most people did not have it. Sure, most users even haven't had a HD only for playing purposes. So, in fact, it's not the common system requirement for this project but it shows that it's still p...

Re: Daimakaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts) for the Atari STE
If not, ehat would be greater obstacle back in 90s compare today? I think it was my lesser system knowledge and mainly the lack of emulators like MAME/Hatari. Also, today it is way easier to develop on modern machines especially considering that the CPU performance and amount of memory isn't an iss...

Actually I am using vasm as the only assembler since it can be used on different OS. Development is being done on a modern system with additional Javascript coding and shell scripts.
