How many programs/games/demo there are for this HW?
Is this info already somewhere on the net?
If not, can you post here the name of those you know?

We (Infinite) are planning a g9k/moonsound game, after we've finished at least two other games. No challenge, so, no deadline and no rushjob. But also nothing to mention so far about a release date. We're also not exactly sure whether 3.58MHz will be sufficient. The thing with G9k and Moonsound is that it's tempting to have more and more of everything. To manage all those oodles the game engine is expected to be heavier.
Naturally, Polka 2 needs to be done also, as you're not going to manage 15000+ tiles with the loose small hacky tools we already have..
So much to do.. so little time.. ._. |

Try to get your hands on CharacterMaker1999. I use it for all MSX screen types. Even screen2!! |

Honestly i cannot see the reason why should be heavier to manage v9990 instead of v99x8. For example a scroll operation in pattern modes on the latter requires the moving of 768 bytes that is almost the max one can push to vram @60hz on a normal z80. On the v9990 it's a matter of a VDP command......
Or are VDP commands forbidden in dual plane pattern modes?
Also managing sprite shapes also manage sprite colors saving other 16 bytes unlike the v99x8. |

Ping pong, you're missing the point. Having more doesn't mean doing the same thing with a different chip, but using it to the max of its ability. In this case, P1 mode needs 2 bytes to address a single tile. With two layers you have four times the data on screen. And since you have loads of tiles to do animation, you're quickly trying to change much more data than you ever would on a v9938. Same with the 125 sprites. Making them do things takes more cycles. All in all, much more potential for wasting cpu cycles!

ARTRAG: at least it would be very cool and I'd be running it.
msd: Puznic?? That's something else  |
