Re: Xeno Crisis is finally coming to SNES

(or maybe that was part of the game's design and none of the versions do). None of the versions do, implementing smooth scrolling would have required changes to the game design and logic and I think the whole point was that the game kept the same gameplay on all platforms, so someone familiar with ...

Re: Why no SNES homebrew scene?

"Why no SNES homebrew scene?" Personally, at least in terms of new commercial SNES titles, I think it's primarily a lack of genuinely user-friendly kits and tools that can be used by more than just the most committed programmers. If there was a fully-realised SNES SDK that mere mortals co...

Re: Xeno Crisis is finally coming to SNES

I get confused when I see things like Attack of the PETSCII Robots being ported to the NES with serious compromises resulting from the content not being tailored to the platform's limitations and strengths; I don't understand who that kind of port is for. Fans won't bother with it, and there aren't...

Re: Xeno Crisis is finally coming to SNES

I'm just happy to see a proper new, fully complete, and indeed high quality commercial SNES game in 2023. And I'll be happy to see many more of them if that ever happens, and hopefully it does, as many as possible actually. My main issue with this (other than the fact that it's being done for DRM p...

Re: Xeno Crisis is finally coming to SNES

I don't have much interest in any homebrew for older systems that run pretty much the entire game on hardware inside the cartridge. Even less so for homebrew that could have probably been feasibly done on the original system but run it on custom hardware solely as an anti-piracy measure, which I'm n...

Re: What is the concrete difference between the NES and a "real" 6502?

I know the SNES drastically changed during development Afaik the case changed quite a bit, but the hardware inside was almost the same in 1988 as the release version. (What today is called "WRAM mirror" at xx:0000 to xx:1FFF used to be the main RAM, before they added 128 KiB of DRAM.) I s...

Re: What is the concrete difference between the NES and a "real" 6502?

That would make a lot of sense. The prototype 2A03 would presumably use a stock 6502; there'd be no reason to implement one in discrete logic. I've attached an image showing the 2A03 and 2C02 prototypes, which comes from this Nikkei October 1982 (?) article . There's a 6502 cable leading to a small...

Re: Understanding APU Emulation

For what it's worth, we actually do get AI spam (and tons of non-AI spam), but it gets filtered out by us mods before it makes it through to you guys. Some of the AI posts really do get close to sounding like a real human; this will be a real problem for us in the future. I agree (that it will be a...

Re: Best clone cpu/ppu for opentendo NESRGB Everdrive use?

you can find a junked Famicom lot for extremely cheap, and those aren't guaranteed G revision chips. Actually it is guaranteed, if label has FF mark. Any famiclone chip has issue with swapped emphasis bits (not sure that it is matter for NESRGB), most cpu have swapped duty cycles. And all clone ppu...

That should've still been picked up by my multimeter (to my understanding).
Not necessarily unless my understanding is severely flawed.
