So is saferam2 ok to use as a large buffer if we aren't using mirage? Where are other good places to store large and regular buffers?

Ok if I want to program my own I'll do that but conceptually you just setup two buffers and use an interrupt to load them at certain intervals of time to create the grayscale?

which ones are used by the interrupts?

yeah I'm starting to use the debugger and with the ability to make jumps and what not is awesome! Just having a way of viewing the code and memory makes it 10x easier to fix code and figure out bugs. Thanks!

Oh and I'm with tr1p1ea on the dump to text idea.

Experience mainly. The more I do on my own, the better I get.

I don't want to use ION or any shell for that matter. I just want to know if b_call(_GrBufCpy) would be faster than a fairly efficient routine.

I don't really get your last post spencer...

So if you wanted to write your own I'm assuming you'd have to go through the LCD driver instead of using just a b_call() right? Is it faster to use the b_call() to load the buffer into the LCD or would it faster to write your own routine in general?

Ok so I made a masked and clipped 16x16 scrolling sprite routine. https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ssartell/SPRITE10.8XP?uniq=s1yd8o It doesn't erase itself cause I'm just gonna LDI the background from a buffer anyways so there's no point. And it shows that the mask is working properly. I'm gonna have to p...

Haven't really gotten that far and I'm not sure how much time I'll have with this coming semester approaching but I'll let you know when I can.

Nah it'd be all in asm.

So I don't know if anyone has every played Jackal for the NES, but I currently have the intentions of making a calc version if possible. I made some possible sprites, but I don't know how well it would work. It'd be a 16x16 scrolling tile engine. I put together the sprites I had done into what could...

I coded a logical solver that can handle nake singles and hidden singles but it couldn't pick up more complicated problems.

Question. Registers A,B,C,D,&E are being used and HL is storing an address I need, but I need to have access to one more address. I have a couple options on what I could do, but am unsure of which would be the fastest. I could use EX (SP), HL and just use the stack store the one I'm not currentl...

Well I was just asking cause I'm really not at all interested in using any routines from shells and thought maybe I was giving myself a large disadvantage.

I fixed a bunch of issues I was having with speed and so I've moved on to play with other things as well.

Do most asm coders use ION libraries or just code their own routines?
