Re: SNES' lower horizontal view . . .
So, I'm curious, what are all the game types that would generally work with the pre-squishing approach, and what are all the game types that generally wouldn't then? I don't know, man. It was your idea. Personally I wouldn't do it for any game. That seems to be the opinion of actual game developers...

Re: SNES' lower horizontal view . . .
Oh, some more ideas. You could squeeze the graphics vertically, by changing the vertical scroll multiple times per frame. Like, every 12 pixels you skip 4 pixels. And, I saw a demo do something like this, so this is a possibility... You alternate horizontally between BG tiles and sprites every 12 pi...

Re: SNES' lower horizontal view . . .
320 horizontal resolution, then you'd just have to redraw it with probably 15x16 blocks in the 256 resolution 16 x 256 / 320 = 12.8 13 pixels wide would be more accurate. 12 pixels wide would be easier to design for. And, no. This wouldn't work for platformers. Everything is tile aligned. Like to t...

Re: That Euro/UK aesthetic
Bubsy was developed by an American team (Accolade , in San Jose, California)
If we're including UK, how about Plok?

Re: Question about black bars, again. . . .
I don't know what you're asking. Every game has different needs and different troubles. There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer to these sorts of questions. There's always a trade off, more of one thing means less of another thing. Some of the things you notice in an emulator, and say "this look...

Re: Two simultaneous mode 7 textures?
He actually put the hack build tools and source code on github. weird. This is actually a complete source code for building Star Fox, which is amazing. https://github.com/Sunlitspace542/ultrastarfox How? No emulator would allow I don't know enough about emulating SuperFX to know if the FastROM mod i...

Re: Two simultaenous mode 7 textures?
Vitor Vilela made a version with a smaller view screen that ran faster too. I thought that was still a WIP. Is there a link to a video or the ROM to try out? Try this one by Sunlitspace542. FastROM + GSU2 https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6402/ https://youtu.be/y6RoiwXd4R8 It appears to run at 20 fp...

Re: Two simultaenous mode 7 textures?
I believe that Star Fox could have run at 30 fps if it used the (twice as fast) GSU2 chip (that Doom used) instead of the GSU1. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Vitor Vilela made a version with a smaller view screen that ran faster too. (sorry, I'm getting off topic, probably should start another thread if...

Re: Two simultaenous mode 7 textures?
I think that ideas like this will guarantee that your project will never get completed. Can it be done? Yes. If you hire a team of top level programmers to work round the clock for a year. It can be done. Sure. But, no offense, if such a team existed, they would probably go off on their own and make...

FF6 - color math addition at the horizon (sorry for the blurry image)
A little more subtle.
