Jebus, it took a LOT of work but I finally got a working music driver for the PC Engine version of Jurl. To celebrate i've implemented another horrific version of Fur Elise - will upload an update soon. #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroGaming

Was reminded of Oscar64 by @macumbamacaca

I’d seen it before where it was a bytecode system and quite slow, but it's been changed to compile straight to 6502 since. It might not be an entirely fair comparison here, but my "level map" example in O64 is half the size of TRSE's and it's ... just C.

VIC20 support is little sparse but I can peek and poke memory so what else does it really need?

Had a look again at Millfork, KickC and cc65. First two seem dead now? cc65 gets slagged for poor code, but this article on optimisations has some hints that really help. It’s called “advanced” but I write my Amiga C a lot like this anyway, like asm

No real idea how it compares to TRSE code though.

Messing around in TRSE. Got a "level map" loading from a compressed file and poked to the VIC-20 screen. Ship it!

A bit cramped, but it makes the flow of the battle much clearer now. The messages will be improved, of course!

All names, graphics and moves are placeholders.

I have to admit that even for me, it was hard to follow the battles sometimes and I had to employ breakpoints to better understand what was going on.

Is there anyone out there who has managed to get sound working on the PC Engine using HuC? I can't find any working examples and just can't get my head around it #IndieDev #RetroDev

I found CrossZGB now which looks like it does a lot of GameBoy boilerplate for you. Worth a dig.

If nothing else, it can use png files for assets instead of me trying to use Windows editing tools via Wine.

Any #GameBoy devs here? I'm trying to get started with GBDK-2020. It builds and runs, but I can't make lcc produce a .cdb file for debugging with the VSCode Emulicious debugger plugin. There's a .adb file though. #RetroDev
