HiColor Slideshow Builder tool from Sage

[Lynxman]

Hello all,

 

I tried the HiColor Slideshow Builder tool from Sage.

 

You can find at http://bjoern.spruck.net/lynx/

 

Attached the Slideshow i made.

 

The pics i use was made during my vaction in Japan in October/November 2011.

 

I don´t used music because i don´t know how to compose.

 

Please note: i used the unlimited version of the tool. The limited version (available for free) insert a picture with a lttle message from Sage every 5th pic.

 

You can use the Slideshow with an emulator or FlashCard. You can burn to an eprom and make a module.

But it is not allowed to sell it!

Please use http://lynxdev.atari.org as link. Even so I do not think the server will change in the next few years.

 

The horrible screen has to be horrible, thats the purpose of it. And its small, only a few bytes And can be easily removed

Sage, I am currently writing a new tool for creating sprites and bitmaps from any kind of input images to the Lynx format.

 

Currently I planned to have "literal" and "packed" types. Does this high-color mode has some good storage format the could be built-in as a new kind of image type to the cc65 compiler?

 

You can see what I am writing in cc65/src/sp65/lynxsprite.c in the current svn of cc65.

I dont get your point.

The pictures are either raw oder standard sprite, depending on how you want to use it in your game.

The packer I use is completly independent.

 

Or do you want to include the dither and colortab finding algorithms?

[+karri]

Oh. I thought that you had some kind of fancy format with a different palette for every scanline. Or something like that.

[sage]

yes, but i am not using that mode as it does not look too good and use a lot of memory.

anyway, a new format would only make sense if you have a library function which can use it.

Has somebody tried it on a Lynx I ?

 

I am getting the first screen, the Japanese flag with the credits and then black screen !

Work on handy though.

Lynx 1 seems not to work, but I do not why. I check it.

Thank you sage, I am interested in the outcome, it may be correlated with the issues I am myself facing.

O.k. i fixed it, but I actually do not understand why it didnt work

 

the following init code is working:

 

CLEAR_ZP
INITMIKEY
INITSUZY
FRAMERATE 75
INITIRQ irq_vektoren
SCRBASE screen_0
stz vbl_cnt
cli
SETIRQ 2,VBL_1F

 

the following code does not work on lynx 1

 

   INITMIKEY
   INITSUZY
   CLEAR_ZP
   INITIRQ irq_vektoren
   SETIRQ 2,VBL_1F
   ;;; do some other irelevant things here
   SCRBASE screen_0
   FRAMERATE 75
   cli
   CLS #0
