Hello all, while cheking youtube, i noticed that Dangerous Xmas was featured on Kim Justice’s channel. Feels weird to see that a homebrew game i did almost 20 years ago got dig out 😉 thanks Kim !

As you may not know, i’m really into old arcade games. Few times ago , one of my Sega Touring Car driver boards died. I tracked the problem to a secured PAL which didn’t work anymore. At that time, i sent a working PAL to Caius from http://www.jammarcade.net for dumping and he delivered !! (thanks again!!). In the end, i was able to resurrect the driver board.

After that, i told to myself, that it would be cool if i was able to dump myself those PAL. so i decided to build Charles MacDonald adaptor And i took it as an learning project to design the pcb using Eagle.

Et Voilà 😉 Find everything on my GitHub

Hello folks,

I added my debugger for SNASM68K and Megadrive on my GitHub

Have fun

I created a GitHub for my open sources projects , and i’ll used it for my future projects.
So far, i’ve created a repository for:

• SMS Plus DC
• Genitile

And i added a old project of mine which can be useful to others megadrive programmers fellows : snasm68kdb
which is snasm68k compiler embedded in a dosbox which has been trimmed from his graphical component and is command line only.

Benefits are that it’s now able to runs on 64bits computers and can be ported to Linux or MacOS

Head over here for the GitHub

 

Raise from your grave !

The other day, i received in my mailbox a message from my isp saying that i need to upgrade my website to php 7 or they’ll start to charge me a ridiculous amount per month in order to maintain php 5. The previous version of the site was running since 2003 , which means centuries in the IT world

Off course upgrading to php 7 broke the complete site. So instead of re-inventing the wheel by writing a new site, i decided to upgrade the site with a CMS. After a week of work , “et voilà” !

I should have done this way earlier as that shotgun upgrade make my life much more easier 😉

Thanks to SimonB, we were able to produce one batch of 15 Dangerous Xmas cartridge.

Maybe it’ll become collectible . If not, we’re really proud of what we achieved with this game and we’d like to thank you all for your support and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

You can download the rom here

I’m focusing on megadrive dev. and i’m working on a debugger base on Genesis Plus called “Megadrive Studio”.

More details here

This time, i programmed windows tool for helping my slow brain to compute megadrive’s video display registers  values . As this is a wxwidgets program, it can be ported easily to unix, macos. maybe later. Have a look on the project page VDP Registers Calculator

I spent some time rewriting from scratch my graphics conversion tool for the Megadrive called “Genitile” (hi bart). Now this tool can be useful 😉

I’m quite happy with the result. It uses plugins for outputting and reading data and is able to output tiles, sprites, maps, palettes and optimized tile sets. So far, the supported outputs are: snasm68k, xgcc, header files and binary. and the input pictures format can be pcx either bmp (256 colors). Have fun !
