Wolf32X - now at alpha 4!

[JLF65]

Alpha 2 posted! I fixed the controls so they really work as described:

A = run
B = fire (enter if in menu)
C = strafe/open/operate (escape if in menu)

X = hold and press dpad for weapon change
Y = hold and press dpad for cheat
Z = menu/escape

Holding START while pressing A/B/C is the same as pressing X/Y/Z (for three button sticks). If it doesn't find a controller in port 1, it'll automatically use port 2.

I put in a temporary hack to fix the wall rendering. Something somewhere is walking on the pagetable, so I tried a few things... If I try to repair the pagetable later, it crashes. If I don't allocate the pagetable, it crashes. So what I do now is allocate the pagetable, but don't use it. I fetch the info that was in the table directly as needed. It's all in rom, so it's fast, but I really need to find what's walking on the damn table.

Okay, still no sound... that's next, followed by optimizations.

Enjoy!

EDIT 2009-02-07: Alpha 3 up. The view size now defaults to 256 wide. You can increase the view size with Start+B+Right/Y+Right, and decrease the view size with Start+B+Left/Y+Left.
EDIT 2009-02-09: Alpha 4 up. Digital sound effects now playing.

Oh, nice! I was trying out the first alpha a few days ago, and for a first release, it's pretty damn impressive.

I'll be testing it soon.

I did those in Gens/GS, the current best SEGA emulator for linux. Others report this works fine in Kega Fusion in Windows.

TmEE did a picture of him running this on a real 32X.

That would be cool. This won't be the last 32X thing I do.

Alpha 3 now up. The view size now defaults to 256 wide. You can increase the view size with Start+B+Right/Y+Right, and decrease the view size with Start+B+Left/Y+Left. Given the speed you see from changing the view size, I don't think I need to knock myself out trying to optimize the rendering.

Ok this is great news, ill post this on the Sega Saturn site with screens and send the news to some of the big tech sites, definetly worthy of some mainstream attention

Alpha 4 now up. Thanks to Snake, I was able to get Fusion running in WINE. That allowed me to get the digital sound effects running. Still working on the FM synth.

This is incredible! Welldone! What framerate does it run at on the real hardware? Do you plan for any further homebrew on the 32X? I hope you do. I may just have to add a 32x to my collection to play this!

[JLF65]

I have a flash cart coming in so I can see how it works on real hardware. Right now, I just use emulation to debug. Yes, I do plan on more stuff.

This is outstanding!!! I need to reinstall the Tototek Flash apps. I'll try it in my 32X soon!

PS: It works perfectly with Kega
