dasi • Topic: right screwdriver

I got my DTC-27 driver today and it fits perfectly, thanks for the tip e5Frog. The DLH3-95 on the first page is a *very* tight fit for the two deep screws, so the DTC-27 is definitely the driver you want.

dasi • Topic: How to sync with the display

The examples given above work correctly in Mednafen, Reality Boy, and on hardware.

It’s likely you will need to restructure or rewrite your main loop.

The reason for syncing to XPEND or using the XPEND interrupt is to avoid writing to VRAM, the world attributes, OAM, the parameter tables, etc, during the VIP drawing process. Syncing to GAMESTART is fine too, but means you need to use an interrupt:

#include "libgccvb.h"

void vip_isr()
{
  VIP_REGS[INTENB]= 0;

  if(VIP_REGS[INTPND] & XPEND)
  {
    VIP_REGS[INTCLR]= XPEND;

    // drawing finished, write to VRAM, OAM, etc, here!
  }

  VIP_REGS[INTENB]= XPEND;
}

int main()
{
  int count= 0;

  VPU_VECTOR= (u32)vip_isr;
  VIP_REGS[INTENB]= XPEND;

  vbDisplayOn();
  vbDisplayShow();

  // main loop @ 50 Hz
  while(1)
  {
    // sync with start of gameframe
    while(!(VIP_REGS[INTPND] & GAMESTART));
    // clear flag
    VIP_REGS[INTCLR]= GAMESTART; 

    // read controller

    // do stuff

    if^[1];
    // clear flag
    VIP_REGS[INTCLR]= XPEND;

    // read controller

    // do stuff		

    if((count%7)==0)
      VIP_REGS[BKCOL] ^= 3;  // flicker

    count++;
  }

  return 0;
}

rubengar, if you upload your graphics, I’ll look at getting your project working with grit. It’d mean you’d be able to have all your graphics in a single file.

dasi • Topic: How to build a game from the source code? Mario VB Question

From the Mario VB readme:

COMPILING ON WIN32
==================

Requirements:

· Minimal Linux environment (i.e: CygWin)

· GCCVB 2.95 for V810

1. Create an environment variable called VBJAENGINE which must point to the vbJaEngine’s folder.

2. To compile the execute the following command inside the game’s folder:

$ make

This will compile the engine and the game, the executable is placed in the output/ folder.

You’re missing Jorgeche’s vbJAEngine.

If it’s the same tool as sold here (it looks the same), the shank is either 52 or 56 mm long, which isn’t long enough to get at the two deepest screws.

They were all made in Japan. If it was sold in Japan the text next to the link socket will be PLAYLINK, if it’s a US VB it will be EXT.

No, but I don’t think your code would work anyway; [font=Courier]posprintf[/font] takes a variable list of arguments, not a [font=Courier]va_list[/font].

dasi • Topic: Bound High ROM released!

Download the buggy ROM labelled “[b1] [gccVB]” (ask KR155E if you can’t find it), copy it to your flash boy, and compare it with your eprom version.

I suggest you also read the “Buggy Bound High” thread: http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3851
