QB game remakes for Sega MD/Genny ?

what would you think of having some QB games ported to Sega MD/Genny ? I did make a MD version of one of my QB games, and it plays great. Almost 8MHz 68000 + nice GFX chip = 66MHz 486DX2 with a lousy framebuffer One thing, ports will be in 68K ASM not BASIC.... there's one dialect for MD but if it d...

You could start learning how to control different LAN cards (or there's some other way than direct I/O) and implement TCP/IP protocol, and some HTML browser and maybe add some Java support... not to mention image stuff...

This should be efficient...

Code: Select all

ADDR& = VARPTR(the_integer%)
A% = PEEK(ADDR&)
B% = PEEK(ADDR& + 1)
POKE ADDR&, B%
POKE ADDR& + 1, A%

I can't make things too easy for you... use your brains (and fingers) !!! I already said what to do with the TPRINTs, if no IMAGE array, CREATE one, just use DIM IMAGE(max_size_of_the_image_youre_gonna_load)...

that TPRINT is my own PRINT routine for Screen13. Just replace it with just PRINT and remove the 2 numbers after the string.

monocrome BMPs are 1bpp... there's quite some headache getting them display nicely. I have some code to load 8 and 4 bit BMPs. I'll see if I can find it. Here it is, I wrote it before becoming an (ASM) optimization guru, so there's quite a bit of stupidity in the code SUB LOADBMP (BMPFILE$) 'Windows...

While your going to make ASM, optimize the QB code... make lots of use of numbers that are powers of 2, also start things form 0 not 1. 256 is a BEAUTIFUL number, you can make tons of optimizations around it, and it fits well for x86 and Z80 (for which I usually write my ASM code).

I once thought of starting using FB , but I never took off.... then I discovered Sega Mega Drive and don't feel like making games for PC anymore. I write all my utils in QB45, and the most powerful sound tools for the mentioned game console are written in QB45 by me ;)

Optimization :

Glass Breaker QB

Hi everyone, I've made this game quite a while ago though, but I'd like to hear some comments about it and stuff like that... The game is written 99% in QB45, 1% is 386ASM. GFX is done in MS-Paint and TGFedit 0.24. Here's a direct link (85KB) : http://www.hot.ee/tmeeco/DWNLOADS/GLASSBRK.RAR Sometime...

The answer is direct I/O ( Port $330 or $300 ) along with General MIDI specification. Works in XP too, but the drums are out of sync usually (some XP MIDI emulation issue). Here's a tracker I made in QB45 (plus a little bit of ASM) that works on MIDI : http://www.hot.ee/tmeeco/DWNLOADS/MDTRK.RAR (it...
