player1pointerlo in DPC+ kernel

[Evilarinho]

 

Hello guys, is there any way to use player1pointerlo in the DPC+ kernel?

Thanks

Messing with pointers related to the sprites and playfield is fairly unexplored territory on any of the kernels.  Up until Al_Nafuurs 1942 code this year no one knew you could scroll the multi sprite playfield using PF1pointer/PF2pointer.

 

I'd suggest trying to use pointer manipulation techniques you already confirmed to work in the standard and multi sprite kernels and trying them in DPC+  Report back your findings here   Perhaps more advanced users could then provide feedback on why something does or does not work.

 

I guess the other possibility is DPC+ is so different behind the curtain that what strategy one uses in 6502 code doesn't apply to the ARM code in DPC+.  Meaning, maybe you should ask about what effect you're trying to achieve rather than using player1pointerlo specifically.
