Level42 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks Gadget Yes Allein is alone in German So.....I renamed all my files. And made a list of what I miss. Some I recognize, some I don't anything about .....if there are any free programs in this list, I'd love to have some pointers to download them (I mean PD releases, homebrew/demo's.....

+karri Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Come on. Tons of silly Shaken files. They are mostly junk. There will be a real "Shaken, not stirred" version coming up soon. I got a flu and have been coding some nice new stuff in there for the last 2 days. After the 7DRL competition the game was just a quick idea. Now I want to add some glue in between to get the story going and better graphics. These are still pretty much placeholders. But I hope to get something playable done this time.

Level42 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Sorry but I was not really deep into the Lynx for quite a while I found a couple of the "production" games already and some of the demo stuff too.

There are only so many because I have all the different versions on my SD card =D I look forward to a final release =D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 There's an R-Type title screen demo - just title screen with music. Talk about dangling the carrot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguar_fan Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Currently I am using version 1.8 of the SD Card Menu. If I wanted to create preview images on my own, what are the requirements in size, graphics format an color depth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 The preview image file format is the raw pixel data produced by the Lynx sprite packer (I did include the packer with a utility to feed it with 4 bit bitmaps), it's knocking around on a thread somewhere. The resolution is 160 x 102. You would need to create 4 bpp (16 colour) 160 x 102 images and then feed them through my utility to produce the .lsd file.

So it is not a "straight forward" thing to do on a regular Windows PC. I wonder where the utility to feed it with 4 bit bitmaps is located in this forum....

I've found a link:- https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksnht8ehhiezsff/LSD%20Creator.zip?dl=0 Apparently the sprite packer doesn't work on newer versions of windows, so you might need to run it on XP or Vista. When I get more time I plan to port the packer to C# so then it should run in Windows 7 / 10 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyChris Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I would like to make a suggestion for the menu program. The game list should wrap around. When you scroll all the way to the top of the list, it should then jump to Z. Likewise in the opposite direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvirtuale Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 are the bailouts via handy emulator.Thanks to these files, you can start the game from the last save made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Oooh, neat. I expect we could support those, yes. Not supported currently though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I guess it would involve populating memory and registers from snapshot, and populating the rom, then resume from the address it broke at? Shame we can't create snapshots =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvirtuale Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I did a test.I connected 2 atari lynx through ComLynx cablein the first Lynx I entered the "gauntlet" cartridge.In the second I entered the Lynx cartridge "HQ SD Cart".I turned on the two consoles calculating the ignition timing ....It works!!!!!This cartridge is Wonderful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchstickman Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just wondering if a new version of the LSD Creator program ever came to fruition. There seems to be an incompatibility with the version of sprpck that's used and Windows 10. Something to this effect was mentioned way back at post #9 where the program just hangs. If I overwrite sprpck with 1.98 version from here http://www.mdgames.de/lynx_eng.htmthen it seems to work but always says an error occured.

Guitari Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I was wondering if Gadget was making any progress on further menu enhancements such as scrolling/cycling immediately to A from Z...? With SainT's new Neo Geo SD upcoming you may have you're work cut out with that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'd still "kill" for a text-viewer option to see level codes etc. Orrrrrr a save-state of certain games would even be just as awesome....imagine playing Chips's Challenge without the hassle of having to enter the level code each time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With SainT's new Neo Geo SD upcoming you may have you're work cut out with that too SainT has done an awesome job on the Neo SD menu - I doubt it will need any changed tbh - but maybe we can add image previews again perhaps. I've not had time to look at changing the menu on the Lynx yet. I will find some time at some point, and I will merge the sprite pack routine into the code to produce the .lsd files. Because its open source I am sure we will probably see other menus done by other people - that's what's great about this! There's likely loads of ways the UI could be changed yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be relatively easy to do that I think. Maybe I will add that in at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
