Re: SainT is overwhelmed!

what I don't understand is he did the Lynx SD the neo Geo pocket SD and and handled all those orders just fine but somehow he's got to quit on the Jag one.

What's so different about the Jag?

Re: SainT is overwhelmed!

Tried to tell him that the market for the Jaguar was bigger than 150 units like everyone else was telling him.and basing their number on how well games like Impulse X sold. I love Impulse X and bought it to support Mattias but a lot of people just weren't excited about a Arkanoid clone.The only kill...

Re: 3DO Ultimate Mortal Kombat III ... well, sort of...

Both 3do and Atari couldn't get the assets for this game they contracted with the company for yet apparently Sony and Nintendo had no problem.

Hmmm... Does this make anyone else wonder if Sony's deep pockets were at work here?

A procedural DML found that might translate well to Jag/32x and other systems without any VRAM. I have found that by interfering with the lighting system and modulating the lightmap while it is being built, it's possible to add some interesting effects to the scenery. The case I was experimenting wi...

Adisak tidbits from around the net.

Originally, I had to use Atari's music code (even though I had my own code). Atari's music code caused all sorts of bandwidth problems which involved major bandwidth hogging (two reads per cycle per channel regardless of the sample rate). In order to allow the DSP to access the bus during display, I...
