Re: VRAM Transfer Speed (and scd ram under HuC)

well, after understanding the macros in macro.inc of mkit I did find coding a little easier for 16bits operation for example now, the cool thing about HuC is that, integrating asm inside is damn easy, so, making the structure in C, and the things that need to be fast in asm can do the trick and I th...

Re: VRAM Transfer Speed (and scd ram under HuC)

well, asm don't scare me anymore, I did about 3 years of pure 68k and GPU asm to do games on the Atari Jaguar console, but ... 8bits asm is really scary ... what can you do with only three 8bits regs ... I mean, to do some little routines it's ok, but to make a complete game, it's too hard for me, I...

Re: VRAM Transfer Speed (and scd ram under HuC)

ok, I finally finished the routine and it now load pretty fast on real hardware !! like 4 time faster ! :) here is the routine if you are interested, it just replace the cd_loadvram function, by loading chunk of 24k of data in SCD Ram, and transfer to VRAM I think the bios was loading very small chu...

Re: VRAM Transfer Speed (and scd ram under HuC)

the HuC code for "cd_loadvram" function is pretty small, only one call to cd_read with parameters to read and write to vram directly, so I guess this is the bios who is slow for at least this function I will try loading stuff using my routine which will do 3 cd seek max, and burn a cd agai...

VRAM Transfer Speed (and scd ram under HuC)

Hi there, I'm a bit new to PC Engine programming but I actually have a lots of fun with it I did a little HiColor pictures slideshow using HuC and CD and I'm loading pictures from the CD with the "cd_loadvram" function. I load about 59,5k in VRAM each time and that's really slow on the rea...
