use TilEm. best emulator out there (no offense CoBB). Emulates every z80 model. You have it build it from source though Sad

My original intention was to make the game smooth scrolling, however after many attempts there were only 2 possible outcomes. Mind-numbingly slow which would hurt the game in the long run or, a little too fast which caused the graphics to blur. Neither of which I found very appealing.

Thanks for the input I'll try to load FBF again on PinDurTI.

I tried loading the app again, yet was still unsuccessful. I even reset PinDurTI which didn't help.

I am aware of what you meant, but an animated screen shot is not possible. The reason being is that the grayscale interrupt I modified for my application cannot be run by VTI alpha 3.0. Don't ask me why, but it can't.

Yup, VTI doesn't run interrupts very nicely. If you use any greyscale packages, most of them compile an entirely seperate executable just for VTI. This is a brilliant work-around but still horrible.

/me hugs PTI. Wonder why it doesn't work?

Justin, you should send me the app in question. After all, I'm the only one who has the chance to fix the error if it's in PTI. This applies to everyone: if you find a bug and can consciously reproduce it, you should tell me about it.

It's not just my app that won't load, for some reason I can't load any apps.

Hmmm... yeah my PTI has trouble loading apps to sometimes, resetting it USUALLY fixes the problem. Perhaps it's the ROM I'm using?

Oops, i guess i should have read better Smile.

PindurTI didnt accept an APP for me once, but then i resetted it and everything was fine. This was not with the latest version though.

Just touching back on the scrolling ... you said that you could either have it slow or too fast? If its too fast, surely you could use one of the many methods to slow things down a little. Besides having things too fast *before* you start coding things like enemeys, npc's etc is a good thing ... slowing timing should be nearly the LAST thing you should worry about.

May i also ask what you did to make the grayscale routine APP compatible?

@CoBB The version I'm using is the one directly off your site, so I would assume it is the latest version. I redownloaded it and will try again.

@tr1p1ea It was simple in a sense. I merely copied the grayscale routine to a saferam location, adjust all addresses accordingly so that the jp's jump to their appropriate saferam address rather than the addresses normally defined by compiling the app. Rather than using valuable buffer space such as the predefined saferam areas, the application allocates 1536 bytes for the display buffers. (changed addresses of GsBuffers). Then instead of installing the full grayscale routine as the interrupt, I simply have the interrupt jump to the grayscale routine in the saferam location and bingo, grayscale in an application.

Don't forget to deallocate the ram when you're done

Have you tried resetting all APP's from within PindurTI? Like going to the Memory menu (LShift - '+')? That always allows me to copy an APP over after i do that.

I'm not sure what's wrong, I'm using a 1.12 version ROM if that makes any difference and I've downloaded the most recent version of PinDurTI, however the emul. won't accept the apps. Keeps saying Transmission Error. I can't get into the mem menu as I'm using a laptop. No num pad.

I don't have a way to get another ROM for it, don't have the right cable.
