Thanks

Thanks Ponut. So, I'm using jo engine. All the Draw Mesh functions are being called on CPU1 call-back while game logic and collision is happening on CPU2 call-back. Probably not ideal. Whats the best way for me to determine the bottlenecks?

@@TailsOfSaturn When using slPutPolygon, the batch is first sent to CPU2 if it is early enough in the frame. If it is too late in the frame, CPU1 will process the batch. Regardless, CPU2 handles sorting and transferring all draw commands to VDP1. Thus, when you are using SGL, you should probably push all code onto master SH2. As for profiling the code, you can cleverly use a function like jo_fixed_point_time to get time at checkpoints within the frame to measure the time that a code chunk used to process. But be aware, because of SGL, you won't be able to measure how much time polygon processing is taking.

This is the Saturn version, recorded from real hardware

@@TailsOfSaturn My mistake I thought this was the ps1 version, you have a nice setup looks sharp.

@@TailsOfSaturn Perhaps I was playing the US 60hz version.

@@GeordiLaForgery Yes Im playing the PAL version

Hey, thanks for the message. I had a quick look at some of XL2s code, but its quite complex for me. This is my first attempt at coding and I only started this project a few months ago, so think I need to figure things out a bit more before I can make sense of that code.

thank you, check out the latest vid too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOZiZKIrcmFp7Msi=vqe0oFQHtPGvnEr5

Thanks, glad you like it

Its a frog, textures pending :D

I don't have the code for this build anymore, but if you look at the next video in this series, you can see a link to my GitHub - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f560o2dsn8xqnrMsi=8uLgJ7Y8kkYlxAPV

@@TailsOfSaturn just got my Saroo. I’ll try Doom on it and report back.

@@TailsOfSaturn tried it on my Saroo, it’s still almost unbearable, even with the guy that hacked the doom port rom. He did however increased the frame rate a tad, but hardly noticeable. He did a great job though, it’s look really good. It’s Just that dang low frame rate….

Bad port

Can’t someone make a new port? I’d help

@@colindubord4239 It is theoretically possible, someone ported the Unfinished Business expansion of Tomb Raider to the Saturn, but the Saturn is infamously difficult to develop games on, so it would require a very skilled programmer to use the many different parts of the hardware effectively.

Yes, the speech is all in English, which makes the much cheaper Japanese version very accessible.

🤣

I apologise
