Hi. For some reason, adding sprites isn't working. Up until I made changes to main.c, it worked fine displaying the sprites from the demo. When l I made the final change which was to main.c, although it compiles without errors, the sprites no longer rendered and instead, some text appeared saying: "SPR_SetPal 16 ♡ 256 > 255 272".

Thanks for these videos. This one helped me figure out an issue I had with compiling for GBC. 😎

Can I ask you to show how to add a save game function to a GB game and how to modify your Makefile to do it? I've been struggling with this for some time, and your tutorial would be really helpful. Thank you.

Sorry about the comments being off. They are back on now, so if you have any questions then you can now ask them and I will get back to you when i am next on.

thx mate much but I could not find the sh-elf file

Very nice work. Thank You. My favorite console is the Sega Dreamcast. Game Programming in C++ with CodeBlocks on KalitiOS . Maybe you want to take a look at this console. For Programming there is a precompiled Version DreamSDK, that makes it easier.

Hey, thanks for the tutorial ! I'm stuck at 10:00 : when you say to click on the Release button, I don't have it on my end. What needs to be done to activate the "add file to active project in build targets" ?

Muito bom, continue sempre assim, professor...

Good video. For information, Game Gear also supports stereo sound, which Master System doesn't. Another information that is always good to know is that despite its 10x9 resolution, it was meant to be stretched to 4/3 on the original screen. For colors, I use steps of 17, not 16. This brings us to 255 which I believe is what we want. Ending at 240 will approximate to E, not F (depending on how you convert your image to bytes afterwards...). To explain how a tile references the number of the color in the palette, I find that a simple wait to do this is to consider each line of the tile as being 4 bytes. Write these bytes vertically, and you get a tab like this : pixel number in the first line: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 bytes for the first line (first 4 bytes) : 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 color number (read vertically) : 1 4 2 3 5 8 A C And you get this 8 times, as a tile has 8 lines of 8 pixels. So 32 bytes for a tile. I love the Game Gear's hardware :)

hola, disculpa por este comentario en español, pero mira que no logro que el PVSnesLib cree el archivo de la room, seguí tal cual tu video..... pero no logro hacer que funcione. mira lo ultimo que aparece antes de arrojar el error, tal vez pudieras ayudarme DISCARD: C:\pvsneslib\pvsneslib\lib\LoROM_SlowROM/libc.obj: consoles.asm: Section ".mesen_breakpoint" was discarded. DISCARD: C:\pvsneslib\pvsneslib\lib\LoROM_SlowROM/libc.obj: sounds.asm: Section ".reg_sounds" was discarded.

Make: *** [/C/pvsneslib/devkitsnes/snes_rules:164: hello_world.sfc] Error 1 te aclaro, esto no ocurre directamente desde el entorno de windows y las carpetas por defecto del PVSnesLib ocurre es con la carpeta personalizada del code blocks

Hi, excellent tutorial. I wanted to ask; is this version of Devkitpro capable to compile DPE and CFRU for gba roms?

whell how setUp scene itself? it's possible to "wysiwyg" in gamedevelopment by using Devkitpro?

I save it 4 gud taims

Awesome tutorial! We need more content about retro games and how to make it so thank you so much for this class.

great video! after I found assembly to be somewhat intimidating, I was able to follow along with your guide for setting up PVSneslib and Code::Blocks. I grabbed a copy of your platformer code, it should be fun to experiment with. I'll be interested to see what other game design elements you demonstrate on the SNES. It might be cool to see how to have a character transition to a new screen. Or how to display a dialogue option. Well, in any case, I'm excited for the next one

oh my... how I waited for this moment! Thank you for hearing our prayers, ^^

Thanks for these videos, when I tried pvsneslib it was easy to play around with the examples, but when I tried to do my own thing from scratch I couldn't figure out what to put in the makefile or what any of the GFXCONV commands meant, I looked at alot of makefiles to try and find patterns I would understand but they all looked different so I gave up, do you mention any of that somewhere in your videos? If I just understood the makefile and how to include a bunch of graphics I'd be good to go, wish it was as abstract as the SGDK include file

can you make a tutorial on how to install nightfox's lib and nitro-engine to devkitPro?

thx so much for this interesting videos.

wow! you are really doing an impressive job. I deeply appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. I searched a lot on the topic and couldn't find anything as complete as this. please continue teaching us so that we can create our own games ^_^

Thanks for these tutorials! works better than just text for me!

Just wanted to thank you man!!! This is my dream to make some games on the SNES that I think its vast library is still missing. I just looked trough all of the sneslib tools I got confused. Apparently just as easy as running make in the right dir haha

You certainly did your best to go through and explain everything, but my God, it's all too convoluted and complicated and just intimidating for me. Not your stuff, but the actual requirements to get all of this up and running in the first place. Until these geniuses figure out a way to make it far simpler and more intuitive just to get things installed, setup, and ready to start making SNES games for an average person like me, I fear the SNES dev scene is just never going to go anywhere fast. :-o Why can't they just make this whole SNES development kit like a single simple program you download and install like most other Windows apps. I don't get it. I don't understand why it can't at least be like say Unity to setup, which itself is still a bit convoluted and clunky but still far simpler than this imo, and ideally as simple are setting up the old GameMaker 8.1, where it was literally a single self-contained .exe that you just downloaded and ran and you were good to go. GameMaker 8.1 even had the first tutorial right there as you opened the program, which you could follow directly from inside the program very easily and intuitively and make a very basic game in literally a few mins. Why can't someone make a "SNESmaker" app that's basically that as a starting point, with the more complex stuff still there but behind the surface options for anyone who wants to access the real Assembly and so on. Sorry for moaning, but it's all just so frustrating, and I still keep waiting for this SNES development stuff to be something I personally can genuinely use. :-(

Nice video

Nice video!

Really cool and explicate video, thanks! It's fun to see people still hacking on these old hardware and how powerful they still can be

Cool to see someone doing some SNES dev tutorial stuff. Much needed. If you ever want to use any of my Mode 0 shmup example stuff for your tutorials, I'd be more than happy to supply the assets. You can view some examples of this on my channel :D Note: I've not watched the whole video yet, but one thing I personally really need is some very clear and simple instructions on how to just get all the stuff installed and setup in the place to even get started with directly coding any of these things myself. I suspect that won't be here, as seems to be a common thing with any SNES development resources, but I'll watch more of your tutorial and give my input on that based on what I see. :) Edit: Looks like you've covered the setup stuff in an earlier video, which I haven't watched yet, so that's good to know. I'll give that a wee watch later and see if I'm able to follow it.

OMG, a tutorial that actually made me compile this thing! Thanks!

Very interesting, always lovely to see the code made to run on older metal!

Amazing content, thx for you time!

I have create a GameBoy color version of this now, check it out on Itch.io if you are interested brig78cx.itch.io/plantblitz It can be played in your browser, so you don't need to install on your actual GameBoy

As a C programmer, I love these videos. Keeping uploading them!

damn wish I could finish this one but gotta get to work before I am late ;(

Thank you for your Master System/Game gear resources. 🙏

That is col the demo is gonna make getting things down easier to understand, thanks for the demo and info on how it all works :), as well as the other tools and Tutorials

great Episode really learned a lot from this one, looking forward to new videos as they become available. thanks so much.

I think I have explained it better the Gameboy Tile streaming video. The idea behind tile streaming, is to allow for my image types to be in Tile memory at once, rather than all the frames of a characters animation strip. It also means you can keep Image Tile array data in their own arrays, and just copy parts as and when they are needed. The Master System and Game Gear tiles take up 32 bytes each, so you may have to use tile streaming wisely. Hopefully this video will give you some interesting ideas for your own games and projects.

Let me know if you have found this useful, or if this has given you an idea for a game you are planning. The idea is to allocate just a few tiles per Image, so you don't need to have all an images frames in memory, when not in use.

Thanks for this video :), this is awsome, setting it up now. Once again thanks for this video :)

The last bit from 10:55 shows 128 sprites not 64 as you said. Sonic is the width of the letters "MAST" and is 4 letters high as can be seen when her runs past them.So sonic is 16 sprite tiles so is the red bug. 8 big sprites made of 16 small sprites is 128 sprites on screen at once.Can you explain how you did this on the SMS which has a sprite limit of 64?

I am really excited for this episode, every time is some thing new and it just works too, anyway you could point to some tools made for Linux that allow Genesis/Mega Drive dev.. either way great content I really enjoy it.
