Is VRAM arranged the same way on both versions of SMB3? I doubt it, considering the weird height of NES name tables. But that's the kind of thing that's expected to change between ports anyway, while the game logic has a much better chance of being reused. I mean, are the tiles and sprite patterns ...

Is VRAM arranged the same way on both versions of SMB3?

I've always what kind of internal logic ends up with 16x32 and 32x64 sprites in the first place.

Now I can't unnotice it.

I just tested an 8kHz wave (3 samples up, 3 samples down) and I found out that it does work, so there are two possibilities: 1) it increases slope every 2 same bits in a row, by a rate smaller than it decreases, but larger than half the rate 2) it increases slope every 3 same bits in a row, by a rat...

Hey, it actually is doing CPU scaling. That is pretty cool.

I think it would sort out the sprites by Y position.

I was doing experiments with the CVU converter and I had a few observations on how the algorithm worked. - There is a max slope rate that appears to be about 1/32 - The previous sample seems to get multiplied by a value slightly less than 1 (maybe 63/64?) - When sampling a 6kHz sine wave at 48kHz, t...

And don't ask me to remake Patsy using a custom homebrew SNES engine, please. I'm ashamed of that game and I think even the idea of it was pretty stupid. Well, is a beginning xD My first game was a numeric tetris, and i had to cheat with the code, THAT was a shame :lol: I have an eye with the AoF2,...

What's weird is that eventhough the file comes out as 8khz, it's in slowmotion and I have to speed it up to 16khz for it to be at the correct speed. To do 32khz, I have to slow it down 2x, convert it, then speed it back up to 4x. I'm saying even doing with 32khz, it sounds muffled like an 8khz pcm. ...

I'm actually surprised how easy it was to find a wave to cvsd converter. https://convertio.co/wav-cvsd/

I've played around with some samples, and I noticed a 32000hz cvsd sounds about as muffled as 8000hz pcm.

I never thought nesdev has much gatekeeping. Smwcentral and nearly every website hosted by "acmlm" on the other hand .

You guys know there is a way to DMA 1bpp tiles without having the CPU manually convert tiles, right?

I was looking through youtube and I found this video using the NES's DPCM channel to play music: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YvRqV9tBI7c&t=72s ...and it sounds pretty lousy. I'm think that Sinistar's chip chip would be similar, but slightly better just because it uses 1-bit adpcm instead of 1-bit ...

if you can code the 65816, then you can code the SPC-700 to do what you directly. Its just a 6502 with hardware mul and I think div. Having it run in parallel is a huge speed boost. Since the SPC-700 is out of sync with the SNES's clock, you want to avoid direct contact as much as possible, its jus...
