The Sega Saturn is an awesome piece of 90's hardware. Such unique hardware lead to unique and special games such as Panzer Dragoon series.

Is it possible to work remotely as an embedded engineer?

@@janmiedza6607 It depends. Generally, no. You have to be in person with teams on a pretty frequent basis when new boards come in and need to be brought up. But I'm sure you could find some remote embedded jobs.

The thing that NFS HS gets right, and modern racing games get wrong about music… is that in HS, you feel like the songs are the soundtrack to your epic racing or car chase scene in a movie. The songs feel organically connected to the action, they make you feel like the star. Modern games rely almost entirely on licensed music, which doesn’t feel special, doesn’t feel connected to the racing. It’s just music you can hear on the radio or anywhere else, at any time.

I always thought the Jag suffered from hardware complexity issues, but it sounds like the system wasn't very complicated... But all the different components in the system had a tendency to trip over their own or each other's feet, and nothing in the system really ran in sync properly. This is quite different from the the problem the Saturn and PS3 had, where the architecture was incredibly complicated but ran very fast and smooth if you knew how to actually control it.
@ArneChristianRosenfeldt3 ай бұрын
Sync happens via the system bus and is a major slow down. Rather all subunits should get input and output queues and leeway in their timing. Pipeline! I tried to read up on a simple bus and thought SPI or I2C. But those are more complicated! With a parallel bus no stop bits are needed. We recover no clock like RS232. Also there is a star topology for requests.

I’ve become fascinated recently with how the PS1 and the N64 both went all in on using the imperfections of the technically inferior composite and RF signals most people were using to get the games on their TV to their advantage… yet the two consoles went about doing that in ways that were quite different.

Another thing about development on the Jag, various direct ports used the 68000 almost exclusively as the main CPU for programming, almost completely ignoring Tom and Jerry. This is something other Utubers have mentioned when deep diving into software quality and why some titles look 16 bit while others like Rayman and Tempest 2000 excelled.

odd for as smart as you are you did not find an answer to what blast-processing is. you just about described it when explaining the hardware spects. specific hardware data operations of the VDP, DMA and bandwidth combination unique about the Genesis console is what SEGA quoined as blast-processing. similar to the S.N.E.S. unique hardware/software process of scaling + rotation being labeled at number 7 among its modes of operation has nationally quoined "mode-7" to be the term for its scaling + rotation method of operation. whereas now many dunce hats think scaling + rotation is mode-7 any time they see that on screen by whatever computer or console applies that. mode-7 is only a S.N.E.S. thing. scaling+ rotation is scaling+ rotation and blast-processing is only a SEGA Genesis thing.

We have a clue . Modern audio libraries are 4 times faster the the original. Towers got 10% faster. Doom and Kart run fluently. I Wonder if fight4life could reach 60fps (now 30). But then again, so many fighting games on the Jaguar already.. A racing game with nice scenery is missing. Like need for speed or outrun. I would even trade in a flat shaded street.
