Re: mmc_lib vs Bootloader V5 vs PFF vs FatFS vs sdBase(sdSimple)

The new method I use in T2K was bootloader5 to find a file and then just raw SD commands. Even though T2K does not have 512 bytes free for the sector buffer - I just pointed the sector buffer at some other unused area like RAMTiles.

Re: Tempest is possible

I was quite pleased with how the lightning bolts turned out. They will also be used for the UFO enemy that fires lightning bolts from above you as shown here https://youtu.be/8NVLXA05Lx8?t=4313 I am aware of the bug the screws up the enemy count if you fire the superzap just as the first enemy is ap...

Re: Tempest is possible

just Eclipse. But that is a lot more advanced than notepad - which is what I had been using for the previous 9 months or more since not much else would run on my computer.

Working computer - Check. Working compiler - Check. Working IDE that lets me find bugs easier - Check. New Super-Zap visuals/animation - Check. This is not an official release as it has #define DEBUG_INFINITE_ZAPPERS 1 #define DEBUG_ENEMY_GENERATOR_FIXED_SPEED 5 So you can see the effect better. My ...

Running Windows11. I hung onto Windows7 long enough I skipped Windows10. I will eventually dual boot Debian on it. All up the machine cost me $1100 AUD and now I have been using it for a day I am happy with the perceived speed boost. I have yet to install my Uzebox dev environment or video editing s...

New computer

I have just finished setting up a new PC. So now I don't have to put up with reboots every 10 to 15 minutes. I am going to have to spend a lot more time down at the docks "greeting" sailors for 50 cents a throw to pay it off. Hopefully I can find some spare time after all that to do a bit ...
