hi again

today i feel like sharing. in this case, a little test demo to see how such a scroll could look: the answer is not too bad. and there is room for improvement. as the code uses the horizontal hardware scroll capabilities, a v9958 is required. the graphics are meh, perhaps some skilled artist care to provide better tiles.

sorry for not posting a youtube (how can i record a video from openmsx in linux?)

download code and rom from https://github.com/out168/scrolltest. the README has the details, but of course you can contact me to clarify things.

hope someone finds this useful!

see ya

I see some glitches. I hope to test on real HW today.

Nice test, even if with v9958 this kind of things are not too difficult ;-)

thx Manuel

i posted a video recorded with openmsx, which looks different (and to my eyes better) than Huey's.

(or search for out168 msx2+)

@Huey: recorded with bluemsx? it would be very nice if you can test on real hw.

@ARTRAG: i agree that it is not too difficult, and wonder why this was not used in many games (at least none that i know of)? i think this can even be done on v9938, just change horizontal by vertical :D

this can be done in 9938 just using the adjust registers as manbow does. It will have wabbling borders but who cares ?

The developers were already aiming to other platforms when msx2+ arrived, so the number of good games developed for msx2+ would fit in one (crippled) hand, even fewer are those for TR.
