Re: Outpost in the Dragon's Maw
Are you buying population? Spend that gold if you don't :) I am pondering on a feature which might be a fair bit more interesting than numerical help, but wouldn't tell what until I see whether I can fit it computationally ;) EDIT: Also I realized I didn't mention it, and it might otherwise take a w...

Re: Outpost in the Dragon's Maw
While doing some further playtesting in the past few days I rebalanced the difficulty, hopefully it would feel more like a game than a tech demo which does little till later when in a dozen turns things just go very wrong :D Still starts easy, that I aim to retain, but playing well, to the objective...

Re: Kernel addon for support for slow game controllers
Since it is in the VSync, it is adaptable to any video mode (regardless of whether it uses the entire HSync or not), however in Flight of a Dragon I had pretty much completely rewritten the video sync code ( https://github.com/Jubatian/foad/blob/master/kernelm74/uzeboxVideoEngineCore.s#L138 ) to squ...

Re: mmc_lib vs Bootloader V5 vs PFF vs FatFS vs sdBase(sdSimple)
Taking a look at it since long filename support doesn't even have anything to do with the Bootloader. There is only one routine in bootlib which relies on a filename, FS_Find(), looking for a 8.3 file, which is just provided for simple use-cases where a game might want to grab a fixed name data file...

Re: Uzebox license
It is a bit difficult when it comes to licensing to be properly in the right. With the Uzebox project, the case is that all contributors licensed it under GPLv3, with every contributor having ownership of the elements they contributed. With the example of CUzeBox ... uh ... CUzebox which I am famili...

Re: Making NES Gauntlet
Wow, quite some investigation ongoing there! Thinking about video modes, and looking at a gameplay video of Gauntlet. Yes, Video Mode 748 kinda wasn't made with that in mind, anticipating the game map to sit in the SPI RAM. Normally the most natural approach would be using the RAM tiles, but then as...

Re: Outpost in the Dragon's Maw
Nice :) - that's sort of about the intended difficulty level I think approaching to around there, though the game as I carefully investigated should be able to function proper up to around month 150 or so. Not like it would crash or anything, but by then it starts to reach the limit of what dragons ...

Re: Kernel addon for support for slow game controllers
Huh, interesting that this got picked up! :) What you could find in the Bootloader was intentionally so, deviating from the kernel as it was then - forward thinking to make sure the Bootloader worked well with slow controllers (which popped up on occasions even back then). Flight of a Dragon's custo...

Re: mmc_lib vs Bootloader V5 vs PFF vs FatFS vs sdBase(sdSimple)
On FAT filesystems, FAT-32 don't really have any advantage when looking at the Uzebox, it only makes things easier... Well, somewhat, with the arrival of SDXC cards which are in fact SDHC for their behaviour, but are meant to be formatted with exFAT. But at least those are clearly identified, while ...
