The only thing that is fast on m68k is move (movem in particular). So if you are going for speed, arrange your code for lineair reading and writing, and try to avoid any kind of transformations in the time critical code.

Then,

Make 4 versions of the sprite (one for each position), and save both masking code and drawing code per position, and you have a generic optimal approach.

Ha, a topic to my liking. I'm not sure if I understand the requirements (something with transparency or not), but the fastest sprite code is generated code. As such you analyse the sprite that you generate specific draw routine, rather than 'generic code' that just reads from buffer and treats all b...

Sure. Now we're getting away further from the actual problem. But I have a piece of init code that relocates the code, because PC relative coding is just not needed ;) ;---------------------------------------------- ; BOOTSTRAP RELOCATION CODE - relocate the relocator! ;-----------------------------...

No thats not an option.

What does that do?

Hi there guys, I found that my most recent demo release is not Minerva-ROM compatible. Because I have no intention to willingly deny Minerva users to run my demos, Im interested in looking into what causes the incompatibility. Luckily for me, the issue can be reproduced using Qemulator! However, I l...

Hej,

I removed 2 microdrives and have no longer use for them. If there is something that wants them, I can post them for package and postage.

On no reactions, I'll bin it in a week or so.

Kind regards,

Hi guys,

I've released a little prod using the qsound. It can be found here: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=95891

It also contains a YouTube link in case you do not own a qsound.

Kind regards
