Giles N Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 @mksmith Actually, cannot wait to see GnG around for the 7800. Its the sort of port this console really needs. So, hope this little input will not be taken on any sort of ‘negative’ input. Remembering that I did some hobby-homebrew grfx for the Amiga 500 back in the early 90ies, and playing the A500 version of GnG, as well as C64 and later NES and Arcade ports, I wonder if the background palette may improve a bit if given more bright or ‘intense’ (warm-hue) greens ‘n browns. Sprites look gorgeous. All good, and whatever the outcome, this is looks like awesome stuff! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backgrounds are one color too many ATM - I haven't converted them from the c64. Because of this it's a bit of a mish mash so I choose to darken them a little so the sprites stood out better. I was sort of going for the dark creepy cementary look. All the gfx came out of the 2015 GnG Arcade upgrade version so there was some nice enhancements. I do want to get back to it - the emitter engine I built turned out pretty flexible but is still missing a couple of things. Also getting so many sprite on the screen will need a slight rethink as I was right on the limits of slowdown. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You report: «this it's a bit of a mish mash so I choose to darken them a little so the sprites stood out better. I was sort of going for the dark creepy cementary look.» - - - Ok, dark cemetary look - good. But could it - without compromising sprites, still be more ‘green is really green», «brown is really browm» (<— as to brightness/hue…?) Guess ‘lush’ is core here. - - - I’m not aquainted with 7800 color-capabilities here, - just want to look and comment. It’s already up-there as to super-cool 7800 ports… «no doubt about it» But more like Arcade = even more super-cool port… Dunno whats really possible as to dealing with 7800 hardware. Generally; looks very good so far. Would just like to see more bright greens and browns on backdrops … … if… … technically possible…. - - - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles N Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I’m thinking of color-porting in this general direction: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerduck Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Hi Matt, thank you for this Project, I like this game very much. But I have to play it always on this ugly breadbox... It took me many attempts, but finally I was able to beat the game and get the princess. The music is a highlight in this game. Hope you are able to get a similiar result with the Pokey or the Yamaha soundchip (e.g. for Dragonfly owners) If you need testing on real Hardware (NTSC/PAL), please drop me a line...

Synthpopalooza Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I am going to have a try at putting some of those tunes into Deflemask and see if we can get 7800 Yamaha binaries for them. This game I think really needs the Yamaha sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 OK, this is a rough try. All of the channels use only one instrument.

Synthpopalooza Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 So here you go. All of these can be potentially converted to .DMF, and from there into 7800 executables. https://www.khinsider.com/midi/nes/ghosts-n-goblins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maleware warnings could be due to any banners or pop-ups that may be present, as it is free (temporary) file hosting.

If I can work up a means of putting VGM into MIDI I think we got a good workaround. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 thanks, Eagle! How can we get this in the game now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 You need lots of rom - vgm format or cpu - huffmunch compressor Also recently I’m using hybrid player. Below 64 bytes per frame data are compressed, above 64 bytes raw data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles N Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 @mksmith Could it be, - if possible -, given possible slowdowns due to too many onscreen-sprites in action, to have a) one of the 7800 difficulty switches turn on/off throwing 2/3 weapons at a time (2x lance, 2 or 3 daggers, 2 torches/axes snd then shields etc). If sprite-capacity would be somewhat limited; perhaps - when this harware-button is switched on, have enemy-pop-ups increase by 25-40%. ok… ideas, ideas… All good… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this works, we have a reliable way of converting arcade music to 7800 YM2151 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
