Looks very nice!

 

On the left I also see some other screen shots. Among those pics I see something that look like some kind of a Tetris-clone? Is this an other game?? Or is this screen from the Poker-game as well? *wish I understod japanese a little bit better*

Hi,

 

Looks very nice! 

 

On the left I also see some other screen shots. Among those pics I see something that look like some kind of a Tetris-clone? Is this an other game??

 

True, the screenshot reminds something between Tetris and Columns, and

with the Lynx logo on top of the screenshot, we can imagine that it is a game

in development.

 

This guy seems to be very active with the Lynx, it's nice to see some developers

find some interest in the ol' good Handy !

 

 

 

Or is this screen from the Poker-game as well? *wish I understod japanese a little bit better*

Concerning japanese language, you can go to :

here you will be able to translate japanese to english. It's not very accurate,

but it can give you some idea on what is going on !

 

Did you try the 512KB Lynx 4 sec video + PCM on his website ?

Simply amazing, didn't think our beloved "little" handled could do such a thing !

Not really.

The Lynx is always limited by RAM and ROM problems, not by speed. Remember: The Lynx screen is only 8kb, so you need something like 80kb/s for a movie. If you use XOR Sprites and packing its even less, because only parts which are changed have to be loaded.

Some games more or less stream their sprite data directly from the ROM (dont remember which one). I would guess than Alpine Games does something dimilar for their animations.

 

PS: For one of my games I have a end-part animation where I do exactly this, plus unpacking the data... there is no speed problem at all, but the animation in this case is not full-screen, but only Difference-Sprites.

In my opinion it is really amazing. The image quality and speed

was like on a black and white TV.

 

I had no idea the Lynx could do this.

 

A few years ago I wrote Swingbirds for Carls competition and there

I had three full screen girls doing dance moves. But it was implemented

doing compressed sprites and I cut down the framerate a lot.

 

In the Peugeot demo the stuff is full screen and every pixel is changed

in real time. Simply amazing...

I was wondering how many memory the Lynx can handle.

A device like a Compact Flash reader could be very nice,

imagine the Lynx reading 512MB Compact Flash, it could

be possible to watch a full movie + sound !

 

Just dreaming...

In stereo!

 

There is a limitation in the Lynx that makes Compact Flash

difficult to implement. On the other hand MMC Plus is trivial

to attach to the Lynx bus. But of course you need to develope

a real file system support for the Lynx if you want to be able

to drop your video files on the MMC card in a PC.

 

You could port the core of mtools for the Lynx. This would

allow you to view video files up to (4 gigabytes - 1 byte)

using a FAT32 filesystem.

 

The size of the MMC Plus card is no problem. The Lynx could

handle it.

 

But for running code you also need a second ROM.

I use Firefox 1.0.4 and it works fine.

Didn't try with Explorer...

 

 

Karri : Well, it doesn't seem so easy to make, but I wish a hardware genius read your post and make it for real !

Even at 12 fps motion, 16 grey and 6 Khz audio, I would look forward to such a device for sure !

WOW 4 GB !!!

Amazing !

Looks like these developers have gotten their 8Mbit EPROM Cart

working. I can't read Japanese at all, but I see a mention of the

AUDIO I/O. I'm assuming that they used this pin to extend the

lynx address range; This technique has been known for a long

while already. May the Alpine Games cart that they cannibalized

for this experiment rest in piece. Also notable are some sweet

looking HANDY-PSP screenshots. No idea if these are mockups,

or the real deal, but either way, they show how great it will look.
