Furrtek : va savoir... Après tout on les décrit souvent comme des gens très polis, et pourtant les dirigeants de Sony sont japonais ^^

tu peux etre méprisant et polis...

Ouais mais en l'occurence ils ne sont pas polis.

si, d'ailleur ils sont Japonais

Salut a tous

Il y a quelques temps je suis tombé sur le Site de Damien Ciabrini
http://damien.ciabrini.free.fr/priv/arch/neogeo/ je crois que l' on y trouve la librairie SDK pour MAC ainsi que quelques petites demos de Damien (helloworld, tuning, starfield, neobubbe) ... -> quelqu' un peu faire des ScreenShots ?

Fred / FRONT!

Fred

oui j'avais vu la date d'ou la demande de contact (je croyais que te le connaissais)

I took a request from Tomahomae (Homebrewer, who had ported the "Casanova Jr.: Girl On Girl" J2ME-visual novel/date-sim to Sega Genesis/MegaDrive not so long time ago. Now he is learning the programiing for Neo-Geo, and decided to start his training from the attempt to port J2ME-game to the NG for this time.) to solve his problem with a drawing of character`s avatars above a text. Although the first avatar (tilemap - "head1") are drawing properly, the program absolutely refuse to draw another avatars (despite of look like he wrote the code of sprites drawing correctly). Source files is here, SDK Tomahomae uses is a by Sebastian Mihai.

Warning: The second link is not safe for work

' ... to solve his problem with a drawing of character`s avatars above a text ..'

Effectively, No Gfx displayed on the screen with an emulator ;(



Girl X Girl for NeoGeo CD

> Guys , To have an idea of what He has to look like on MD ...

Is port by TLT (code) and Tomahomae. Visual novel for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. Sound engine: XGM driver v2 by Stef + Language: English..

VasiliyFamiliya , you should invited Tomahomae to use Sdk NeoBitz C dev kit & DATlib update 0.2 by HPMAN (poweful functions and graphics tools) ... and visit Yaronet Forum of course

A+ Fred

Sebastian Mihai says his devkit is based just on the NeoBitz SDK. But where can I take DATlib update 0.2?

I just begun to use new DATlib. And Looks like I'll be have to replace all the "wait_vbl" commands (from the original Mihai's libvideo) with a "waitVBlank", won't I?

Yep, a couple names were adjusted.

What's DATlib equivalent of original libvideo's "_vbl_count"?

DAT_frameCounter (doc. page 23)

This counter won't increase in case of dropped frame (slowdown), there's a "real" frame counter handled by the bios @ 0x10FE88 (uint32). Pick the one that fits your needs.

And some about the graphics import:

About input files format:
Picture files used in chardata.xml must be PNG format, 32bppArgb.

Original .png files from the java-game has only 8-bit color depth. I hope, it won't cause any errors during convert to tilemaps?

It might reject the file, just save it to the correct format if that's the case.

HPMAN (./349) :
It might reject the file, just save it to the correct format if that's the case.

What converter is the best for color scheme conversion to ARGB?

All the popular picture softwares out there should be able to save to that format.

Photoshop menu "Image -> Mode" has only simple "RGB Color" choose.

file -> save for web
choose png24+transparency

HPMAN (./353) :
file -> save for web
choose png24+transparency

Conversion is completed. Modified sources and resources is available by the old link. Now, first thing is showing an avatars by using the sprites from "heads.png" file. How can I do it?

You should check the sample demo supplied with the lib, it has basic pictures/sprites display code.

Files by link are updated once again.

When I try to give chardata file to BuildChar, It`s says me there is an imposible parameter in chardata (see the result on the attachedd screenshot). Fichier joint :

You should run buildchar from your project folder, paths are relative to your current disk location.

Pics needs reworking anyway , too much colors per tile.

HPMAN (./357) :Pics needs reworking anyway , too much colors per tile.

How strange, if to take into consideration that a whole original images uses max. 128 unique colors...

PNG's colours quantity has been reduced, the files has been converted (by using IrfanView) to the real 32-bit images with an alpha.

Well, does the BuildChar react to the new images properly?
