Take a guess

In fact, it's a tie between the NES and the Vectrex

How do you post a bug on sourceforge?

I actually live close to Bregalad and study close to where he works

I was programming my game, when suddenly I decided to intensify reds in my game over screen. I used good ol' PPUMASK ($2001) to do the trick but it seems like it just goes pitch black on FCEUX... This also happens on commercial games like Noah's Ark and possibly Rampart so it's definitely an emulato...

I didn't look at your code, but it sounds like you are overwriting sprite #0 with your boss metasprites. You should double check your sprite engine and make sure you have control of everything. There is a million of approaches depending on if you want to do priorities, if you want to do sprite cycl...

Before you do that, check if this is really your problem. I suspect you're setting the scroll for the first time too late in the frame, but you can check in FCEUX debugger (there are many threads explaining how to use it). That being said, having the game logic in the NMI handler is a legitemate wa...

Can't say much based on the code you posted, it's too incomplete. after I implemented a pretty big metasprite (it's a boss level), it looks like the part of the screen before the s0 hit get the scroll value and vice-versa (the playfield goes back to $00). Does this big sprite significantly increase...

I have a level that covers 2 nametables, with a sprite zero hit to make the status bar stay on nametable 0. However, after I implemented a pretty big metasprite (it's a boss level), it looks like the part of the screen before the s0 hit get the scroll value and vice-versa (the playfield goes back to...

The thing is that most (if not all) companies don't really give a **** about homebrews/repros, since it's such a niche market. It would cost them more to make a lawsuit than whatever they lose when people sell repros with copyrighted material. Also, as mentioned on this topic before, most patents/co...

Without a mapper, 100% of the time while the viewport is rendered would be spent on this, since I can't think of any constant-timed task that could be done between scroll changes.[/quote You could execute a virtual machine and execute a main thread, so that each VM instruction takes a constant amou...

Also, just wondering. Is there some relation with such data corruption and the infamous "Hold reset while turning off unit" message with the Legend of Zelda and other battery-backed games?

There's not too much save game data in the game indeed. To tell you the truth, I was thinking about using WRAM for the name entry screen and the high scores only. I'll try to implement a checksum, but I was also thinking about dropping the save feature since there's not too much data to be saved...

I program games for the NES because I always loved that console and that I always wanted to make my own game for it. I started with ROMhacks, until I became good enough that I could successfully hack music in NES games. After that, I decided to do the Nerdy Nights, and that's how I became an NES pro...

Currently, I'm about to finish one of my NES projects and it seems like save game data gets sometimes corrupted when using it on a flashcart according to my gametesters (See pictures on how it looks like and how it's supposed to look like). The save game data that's causing problems is the player na...

Pehaps you shoud describe us more in detail what 1) what you are trying to do 2) what do you exepct your results to be and 3) what is wrong with your actual results so we can have a clue how to help you ? Just some code is not enough. The only 2 tricks with the MMC1 are 1) You need to "reset&q...
