Yes it's 240p native out of the pi.

(and when I say native, I mean no scaling required, but there is a conversion from digital RGB (HDMI) to analog RGB).

Managed to find and fix the bug in the emu, so I guess there will be videos taken!

Might I also add that the level design/enemy placement looks tight.

Was doing work on some menu stuff anyways, so I went ahead and split out my debug menu into a proper Practice menu and cleaned it up a bunch, so now people can use it without going wtf.

Boss B! This is pretty close to how it'll look and act in the final game. Maybe it's a bit too hard though lol.

I started fucking around with implementing our old idea to make the Onigirun mascot a (overpowered, unlockable) player character, and then ptoing jumped back in and cooked up some really cute shot sprites and overhauled his player graphic... we had some fun.

Redid my Windows "port" (it's obscenely bare, not something to play on), so I slapped in my JVS code and presto, Fire Lancer on Taito Type X2!
Image
(yes, yes, I know it's not rotated; deal with it)

Need to figure out what to do with all the extra screen space (this is the biggest zoom possible that's still an integer scale and doesn't cut off at all), and need to do something about music (I easily ported the sound effect engine over, but music is very different), but it's very playable. There's a few bugs from the port, due to different integer size, but those shouldn't be too bad to fix.

Tested it working on the Capcom JVS I/O and my CyberLead, should probably work on any JVS setup.

So did I understood right that your plan is to release the ROM for free once completed?

Pretty swell for such a professional looking game. Might be too hard to produce new cartridges anyways I guess.

I love the arts and mechanics you've shown so far, will definitely want a cart. Now, why didn't I buy a SwanCrystal when it was cheap :lol:

Finally got around to implementing the Trial menu, so that feature is mostly complete now. Took a long video of going through some of it. Lots of difficulty tweaking ahead :arrow:

Haven't been feeling it lately and ptoing has been busy, so not much in the past month or so. Not abandoned, just needs some cool-off since I've worked on it nearly every day for 2 years now ;)

Some time away can give me some useful new perspective too.

I will have more time again to work on this come July. I have to make new art for boss C among other things, which I am sure will reactivate trap into pattern creation mode and more :)
