Did you use SEI before getting the values? If I understand correctly, you need to use SEI before, and CLI afterwards.

My 2c on the "yet another system" problem (I say this as someone who genuinely wants the CX16 to succeed...): The Commander X16's only "marketing" so to speak was through the 8-bit guy's Youtube channel. David appears to have lost interest in promoting it what with the arcade and...

The DOS and Tandy versions of AGI games are the same files (that's the whole point of an interpreter lol) except for very early versions of Kings Quest. For the DOS interpreter it just plays the first voice in the sound file. I got 3 voice sound working on the PSG. I wrote a player for AGI sounds. I...

Thanks for the update, and the screen shots - the fairy, troll, and the well!!! Good memories. Still, I want to HEAR this game, someday ^.^ (oh, we can dual X16 it, use serial card to cue another X16 to play the audio with a few command bytes :P ) The PSG is perfect for playing AGI sounds - I got i...

This is an interesting approach, wondering why not banked ram? Faster to use VRAM because of the auto increment?

How About Making Another World Songs And Sounds YM2151/YM2164, VERA PSG And PCM Hey not exactly sure what you mean there, but I considered using the YM2151 and ripping the tracks from the Megadrive version, however there was a suggestion by badmai earlier in this thread offering a way to use PCM au...

Thanks for compliments - it keeps me motivated :) Do you mean my desktop or the game resolution? I'm using the gif recorder from the emulator. I don't actually own a CX16 yet. The original game was 320x200 on the Amiga. It's the same res on the MS-DOS version (where my assets come from). The CX16 ve...

Hi Everyone, another little update. Things have been going slow but I have definitely made some great progress... GRAPHICS Re-wrote the graphics renderer (again). I think this will be the final version of the polygon renderer. It still doesn't use the VERA FX line helper, but I've run out of energy ...
