Elysian Shadows

Thanks man! :) Yeah, the preview stuff is something I've always wanted. It's difficult to get a good look at the textures on the actual hardware, especially when you throw mipmaps into the equation. I forgot to mention something about the bumpmap conversion. It expects you to input a normal map , no...

I have done a lot of research on the topic of Dreamcast textures lately, and I've made some major discoveries in the process. The top one being that any format can be compressed, including normal maps and paletted textures . I've created a tool that can convert images to any format supported by the ...

Yup

Awesome game!

You may have to set the color after pvr_sprite_compile. I'm not sure if it overwrites the argb/oargb fields. Also, since sprites are essentially quads, you'll have to set the coordinates in clockwise (or counter-clockwise if you've changed the cull setting) order, not in a 'Z' order like it's done w...

I'd recommend checking out the Nehe tutorials. They're great for learning the basics.

Great game! I had no idea it had gotten rare though. I got mine back when it was released on the PS1, and it was sold as a budget title from day one over here.

I'm not sure if you can still buy a coder's cable anywhere, but those are ok for small stuff. I heard the SD card reader is pretty good as well.

Nothing even comes close to using a BBA though. I highly recommend investing in one if you're planning on doing some serious DC devving.

Did you copy the makefile as well? It seems like you're not linking against zlib (-lz) and libpng (-lpng).

If you've got KOS set up you can check the examples folder. The png example does what you're looking for.

Nice one!

That's my favorite GB game and the biggest source of inspiration to the game I'm working on. And it's the first game of the mana series, Secret of Mana is Seiken Densetsu 2.

NES: Blaster Master Yeah, it's more on the action side of things with a bit of adventure. But it's great and the soundtrack is awesome (as with all Sunsoft games). Hebereke (a.k.a. Ufouria) Open world platform adventure. Reminds me of metroid. Also made by Sunsoft, so the soundtrack thing applies to...

And now it's been canceled.

I agree. It made me feel like I was playing an old-school sonic game again. Moreso than Sonic 4 ever did.

Let's hope they don't screw it up for the final release.

I did some research on collisions for 2D polygonal terrain. Basically swept circles (and points) vs line segments.
