Well I think it is possible to merge C and assembly ? Yes, I think it is, but as I have absolutely no knowledge about assembler (and honestly I have no intention to learn it) that is not an option for me. Although I might find a person who could do that for me, I currently want to try to code this ...

Big thanks guys, your posts make for a VERY interesting read! I already gained some new insight in the whole SNES-tech. I will revise my code to find the slowdowns, I guess I assumed too much power when writing the code (coding for todays PCs has its impact on me ;) ). Then only one thing remains: C...

I can write down what things I do in every frame, maybe that would make things a bit clearer. Besides that I have to say I'm not programming in assembler but in C (using the SNES SDK). I've read many posts which state that C is subordinate to assembler on the SNES, do you think that could be the (ma...

Back again! I also have some questions at hand and hope you don't mind giving me advice again :) 1. My game is coming along nicely, however I've run into some hardware-specific problems. After expanding my code I now experience quite some lagging and flickering of my sprites. I assume this is due to...

Thanks for your reply! However I have to say I already have some experience with "2D side scrollers". I have already implemented such a game engine in C++ with SDL on the computer, so I just have to get used to this stuff again, and of course I have to understand how the SNES works (in tho...

Thanks, that were some really helpful answers! I will try to implement these metasprites. From there animations shouldn't be too hard to do. I will have to take a more detailed look at scrolling though when I have the time. Your posts were good hints as to what I have to look at. If I have any quest...

Hi! Obviously I'm new here and I'm completely new to programming for any console. Although I'm currently programming for the SNES I hope I can ask questions here, too, as this was the only newbie subforum I saw. I have two questions regarding scrolling and sprites on these old systems (NES and SNES)...
