Posted on 10-29-13 02:34:53 AM, in Z80: help identifying an algorithm (or at least its conditions) (last edited by andlabs at 10-29-13 02:36:40 AM) Link
I figured out this function is mainly used for volume control. Here's the gist of it:

For each operator (each FM channel has four operators that get combined)

    x = current operator's "total level" (an attenuation value 0x00..0x7F) ^ 0x7F

    If the current operator is connected to the speaker and not to another operator

        x = this function(b = x, c = an external parameter loaded by the 68000; I think it's the global volume and it's 0xFF by default and 0xFF or 0x00 otherwise)

        x = this function(b = x, c = current channel volume (set by an effect command))

    SetTotalLevel(x ^ 0x7F) (to set back to TL)


My best guess is that this is a linear->log (linear->exponential?) conversion function with built-in max()...

I don't name my computers yet, but if I were to get a multi-device network set up I already planned on using names from the Thunder Force games (so this laptop would be Strite, a tablet would be Claw, my server would be ORN Base). (Silly thing: if I were ever to get into comp sci enough to write papers involving networks of computers with multiple users, I would use this naming scheme as well, with usernames coming from Compile-era Puyo Puyo! I have no life :V )

Has Nintendo ever removed individual features of a product rather than kill the product completely? I thought Nintendo policy was against changing features after the fact...

devin went to Sweden once but couldn't visit Girlydragon for reasons; we will need to get him to go back and this time visit Girlydragon so they can fite for real.

You could call it a long distance runaround, if you will.

(crosspost from sonic retro)

Hey guys, remember this?



The now famous text that's shown in Space Harrier that says "MANY MORE BATTLE SCENES WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE" that the game puts up when you lose a life? After starting to check the 16-ibit games, I'm thinking this text isn't supposed to be there...

Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars has this
$$ CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION ]] THIS IS SEGA;S LATEST GAME< ]]SEVERAL SELECTED SCENES ARE AVAIL>]]ABLE FOR VIEWING= ]] WE ARE SURE THAT YOU;LL FIND THE ]]ALEX KIDD


Fantasy Zone has this (!)
SORRY FOR THE LIMITED//NUMBER OF SCENES.// THE FINAL VERSION OF//THE SEGA FANTASY ZONE//WILL INCLUDE MANY MORE//EXCITING SCENES!]


It's only two examples for now but heh

None of these are actually used anywhere (though the coding for them might still exist); they are remnants of earlier demonstration versions (possibly location tests?) where you could only play through a fraction of the game. I'm guessing the same thing happened with Space Harrier, but they forgot to chop the message from the final game (and still forgot to in the alternate revision). (Possible alternate theory: they intentionally left the text there and moved it to where it is in the final game...?)

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description

You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and

the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
