Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (Port, WIP) - First Intro

[@GameSack]

Nice!!

[@RubensAlvesValerio]

Esse é o castlevania que merece um port bem fiel para o mega drive.

[@LuisFelipeFelipe808]

To this day I wonder why Konami never made a version of Rondo of Blood for PS1 or Sega Genesis when we had a version of Castlevania from x68000 for PS1

[@SaikyoKoutei]

Maybe they had a contract for some timed exclusivity, the source code could be a mess or they thinked that time and budget could be spent better on a new game... They "did" a version of Rondo on the SNES but we all know how it did turn out lol.

This is great work.

So Beautiful !

I would have just ported it to the SEGA CD personally.. but that's just me.

[@GTXDash]

Ah man, I thought you ported the whole thing. Still really cool. Can't wait for the finished product. I do not envy you. It took us years to build a sega mega drive/genesis style game for PC that we'll be releasing this september, and that was hard because we didn't want to take shortcuts like using an already made engine like Godot or Unity but wanted something lite so that is can be ported to anything. And here you are trying to make a technically impressive PC-Engine CD game for a cartridge only 16-bit console. I love how you just brute force your storage issue by using modern rom/cart. How you're gonna do the music? I would've thought it would be done for the Sega CD.

There's a recently released new sound dac driver that can be used for samples up to 32khz quality (or more). Check out Mega PCM. Roms will be big, but it will sound amazing.

[@Genesis814]

Great!

[@segacd2621]

Admirable. :D It's very well designed, compared to old companies, they seem like they're too lazy to do it. Good intentions make a huge difference.

[@pmasterBR]

Amazing!

[@albertoluna4302]

Le han gustado las voces digitalizadas, con la mala fama que tiene la Mega drive al reproducirlas, suena muy bien. Deseando poder probar una demo en mi Mega drive.

[@alexisynthfm1988]

Por que hay dos problemas: -Espacio en ROM. -Ancho de banda del co-procesador de audio; El Z80. Depende mucho como el programador haga su trabajo en el Z80 para reproducir muestras PCM en el DAC del YM2612 y a la vez cuánta ROM disponible haya, en varios juegos para liberar ancho de banda del Z80 hacen que el Motorola 68000 controle el FM y PSG mientras el Z80 está enfocado en su totalidad con el DAC, curiosamente los ports de Street Fighter 2 hacen eso y aún así las muestras PCM suenan mal por tener mal programado el Z80, lo que hace el parche para solucionar eso simplemente reemplaza el driver Z80 por otro, que fue programado por el mismo creador del SGDK que es con lo que fue programada esta intro en lenguaje C; Stephane Dallongeville. Él mismo también programó el driver XGM2 que permite reproducir muestras ADPCM con una calidad bastante decente, se ejecuta en el Z80 y también el Z80 controla el FM y PSG si así lo deseas, todo un crack :).

This is using only MegaDrive hardware or your using the SegaCD too? Isso ta usando só o hardware do MegaDrive ou ta usando o Sega CD tbm?

[@weerbox]

Mega Drive only.

[@shannonbirt9267]

That narrative voice work is superb, it seems to be the hardest thing to achieve on MD is clear voice samples. What sound driver are you using ?

[@weerbox]

Thanks. I used build in DPCM2 driver at a 22050 Hz rate.

[@rafaelantonio6765]

no compression job

[@raycastello2532]

good

[@FERNANDOTeixeira-j9t]

Save the sega genesis ❤❤❤❤❤

[@WRZ75]

Fantastic and Thank you! - But curious why not on the Sega CD instead? Was always disapointed that we didnt get a port back in the day with perfect music.

[@rafaelantonio6765]

sgdk is not compatible

[@WRZ75]

@@rafaelantonio6765 Is Sgdk able to integrate the Sega CD for music only while the game is using the Genesis? I think this is refered to "Mode 1" Only a few games like Pier Solar enabled this.

[@seanjenkins4654]

@@WRZ75no instead the right way to do this would be to make his port compatible with MD+ so that people with everdrives can use CD music without a sega CD

[@jpc-273]

It would have been better if you had used the opening audio from the original PC Engine CD game instead of using the audio from the PSP remake.

[@M0L0TOV]

Master Linkuei did a demo of the first level. Maybe he can help out with this?

[@laguarra]

wow! rom size?

[@weerbox]

The intro takes about 2 megabytes.

[@AllardRT]

Is this just a proof of concept thing or do you intend to go all the way?

[@weerbox]

I would like to make a full port of this game, but, unfortunately, I cannot devote as much free time to development as a full port would require. Therefore, for now the final goal is 2 intros, playable prologue and stage 1.

[@ClevertonHeusner]

Um cartucho só pra abertura.

[@VagnoSilvaYT]

😁 Creio que por ser imagens com poucos quadros não pese bastante, pior e o meu que ta em fmv, só a intro pesa mais de 1mb rsrsr: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6HMf4RjicplgqM

[@hopetagulos]

Pena que ainda não existe dev kit pra Sega-CD :( mas os cartuchos everdrives e emuladores são um trunfo.

[@brutapode8939]

Great!
