@compiler_explorer@hachyderm.io Hi! 👋
I've seen SDCC 4.6.0 ( https://sdcc.sourceforge.net ) have been released a few days ago, any chance to have that added to the list of compilers?
Thank you! 😄

A nice video explaining the fundamental differences between the SEGA SG-1000's video mode 2 and the Master System's video mode 4.

also a big thank you to @raphnet@mastodon.gamedev.place - I used his cartridge programmer (see https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/sms_cartridge_reader_programmer/index.php ) to Flash ROMs on the prototype boards and the open source nature of its firmware meant that it was *very easy* for me to quickly add support for the specific chip these boards use. 😄

@nick_ocb@mastodon.social
@nick_ocb@mastodon.social I'd say as a learning project it's a success - but the board has one unexpected 'fault' which severely limits its usefulness. But I'm lucky it's not completely useless, so I'll have some use for that.
I recently designed a slot-1 + slot-2 (SEGA mapper) cartridge for the #SEGA #MasterSystem and I just received them.
Well... it was a success *and* a failure, and you can read my post on SMS Power! forum here: https://www.smspower.org/forums/20771-ConsiderationsRegardingTheFrugalMapperDesign?start=150#138756

@vgarzareyna@functional.cafe I use C, and an empty source file isn't a valid program in C, therefore a C program that surely doesn't contain any bug doesn't exist 😉
anyone who thinks that software without bugs actually exists doesn't really know anything about software 😅

It started out as a proof of concept (PoC) for the Sega SC-3000, focusing on the drawing routines. Later, I became interested in how the game works at its core. The GW-Basic port of Akalabeth, which is itself a port of Applesoft Basic, served as the template.

"This is a little demo where I wanted to play about with the Multicolour TMS mode so I made some space themed effects! IMPORTANT: This uses the legacy TMS9918 mode so it won't work on the Mega Drive/Genesis. Even though it's using a TMS9918 mode, the art is made for SMS colours (and one effect uses the hblank interrupt so it won't run on SG1000!)"

In this game you control a frog named Gluf, and just like the electric car, Gluf can charge energy from places marked with battery symbols. You need the power to activate the circuits in the floor, but you can only charge enough power to activate 10 circuits, so if you need to activate more, then you will need to recharge.
