I've done it again Â*;D ;D ;D

I've tried the emulator in Chankast 0.2a ....

Speed is not 100% (P4 2.4, 1Gb DDR333, GF4 Ti4400 128Mb) and sound is not good but i've tested in another emu Â*

so i don't know if this will be exactly on a real Dreamcast

I wonder why Chankast does that. It seems to draw all the sprites, miss some tiles from background layer A, and not draw background layer B at all...

You know - sometimes it's really nice that Coranto posts the news directly in the forums, but other times it can be kind of a pain. Right now, I think we have four different topics dealing with the new releases of GenPlus.

Anyway - back on topic. Thanks for the screenshot Talfi.
It is a little weird that Chanka does that. I figured if anyone would have an answer, it would be you BA. You know a lot more about this emulation business than I do, so I figured there was probably some logical explanation for it.

Well, as far as I can tell, it seems to be dropping parts of the display list. The sprites (which are drawn first) seem fine. Background layer A is mostly there, and that's drawn second. Background layer B is pretty much all missing, and that's drawn last.

Ah - so it draws from front to back. I wonder if Chanka is set up somehow to skip some drawing phases in order to catch up on speed (instead of frameskipping) or something.
