[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / PCE /TG16/SGX - Super SD System 3 (CD, Super CD, Arcade CD, HuCard and more)]

An outstanding device, I don't know if somebody already knew it.

It's like an everdrive, but also for scdrom² (BRAM and ADPCM) and AC, a next step for homebrews.
A little bit expensive 240€, but not really if you consider all that it offers.
A scdrom²+AC+everdrive+rvb, i think they cost mush more.

It feature:
HuCard Games
CD Games
Super CD Games
Arcade CD Games
Quality RGB
Amplified Sound
Save RAM Support
System Card Support (Additional RAM and BIOS)

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / SGX VPC problem ??]

Hi, i found something weird with the SGX, you loose even the basic sprites priority ??
For exemple you cannot have something as simple as VDC1&2 sprites behind the VDC1 backgrounds   
That's a shitty design that VPC, really . 

More i learn about it, and more i'am disappointed

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / What kind of VRAM does the PCE have?]

Hi, i was sure that's the PCE's VRAM was a 100 ns SRAM .
A guy tell me that's in fact PSRAM ram at 120ns ..
I am a little bit skeptical,because the hi-res needs a 93ns access RAM .

There are really some problems to do a game in 10.74 dotclock mode, due to VRAM speed ??,or you must force slower access with Sprite dot period and VRAM dot width ??

if someone know the truth ??, thanks in advance 

EDIT:ok i found it, it's psram for VRAM, http://console5.com/techwiki/images/3/37/LH5P832.pdf at 100/120ns access time .
And SRAM for scratch RAM, with a 100ns access time . http://console5.com/techwiki/images/c/c3/LC3564Q.pdf

What's the exact amount of bytes you can transfert in active display with the CPU ??

it seems that 65 bytes/scanline is false, because you have 455 cpu cyles /scanline, you lose 87 cpu cycles in hblank when the VDC fetches sprites's pattern, and you can only transfert 52 bytes per scanline .

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / a faster _satb_update routine]

Hi guy, i post my optimised _satb_update routine .

As it use self modifying code ,it must be used for CD projects only .

Code Select Expand

#asm
_satb_update:
; // Use TIA, but BLiT 32 words at a time (64 bytes)
; // Because interrupt must not deferred too much
; // 8 sprites at a time

stw #_satb , .vram_tia_satb + 1    ; // Source

       ; // Set VRAM destination address
st0 #0
st1 #$00
st2 #$7F

       ; // Enable VDC write mode 
st0 #2

ldx #8

  .vram_tia_satb:
tia $0000 , $0002 , $40
addw        #$40 , .vram_tia_satb + 1
dex
bne .vram_tia_satb

#endasm

i can post a rom version if someone is interested .

Coups

punch = I
foot = II

I+II = reversal
II+haut =skipped kick (not sure in english)
II+diag+avant+haut =high kick
I+diag+avant+haut = high punch

II+diag+avant+bas = low kick

<- + I + II = kick back
diag+up+forward/backward = flip forward/back

when opponant attack, opposite direction = high block/middle block
when opponant attack, crouch opposite direction = low block

up = jump
down = couch

select =very funny paused game
