[12:04] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> @lywx As previously stated, the Dremcast is very RAM limited at 16M hence the need for engine plugins, no launcher / GUI with a very lightweight alternative. Once you are booted and application loaded, you can swap the CD with ScummVM on it (as it is running in RAM) and then put a standard CD in with game data which then autodetects and gives a menu of games to start... But this is only mildly maintained port and Asylum is quite chall
[12:05] <grogbot> [discord] <Digitall> Patches / maintainers to work on this are welcome...

[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> Once again for Screenshot Friday I'm completely missing the point of the assignment and I'm presenting ***videos***!
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> Work on The Last Express has been progressing very steadily:
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * Graphics decoders have been fully tested and fixed where needed
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * Some engine bugs have been squashed (with one known remaining which can rarely bring the engine into an infinite recursion loop state 💖)
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * The engine has reached a completely thread-safe state (for now...)
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * New features:
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * ***Audio***!
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * ***Cutscenes***!
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * ***Subtitles***!
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * ***TABLES*** in the restaurant car! And no less than six of them!
[12:50] <grogbot> [discord] <bosca_bo> * A debug walk mode in which characters are going up and down the sleeping car while "excuse moi"-ing each other!

[13:23] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> I have revived my old Snatcher project . It its still a long way to go, but I figured if people really do post IDA disasm screen shots here, then I also do qualify for the screenshot Friday 😅 . I have finished most of the animation, palette and transition code, so that at least the intro runs almost perfectly, now. This week, I am trying to complete the audio code...

[13:34] <grogbot> [discord] <gu3> Uhhhh, mystery game 😁
[14:06] <grogbot> [discord] <eientei> What are the targeted versions?
[14:13] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> Currently only the SegaCD version you're seeing. When it is done I can start thinking about support for other ports. I am trying to keep the code in a way that at least does not completely discourage adding other versions, but the game is heavily hard-coded and uses hardware specific effects .
[14:15] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> I guess, the easiest one to add afterwards would be the PC-98 version. The one that I would actually find the most interesting is PC-Engine. That one has a similar look as SegaCD, since the SegaCD version was modelled after it. However re-ing PC-Engine is certainly not easier than SegaCD...😅
[14:16] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> I also have the newer versions, Playstation and Saturn. But they've been kind of "improved" to the worse. So they're lowest priority for me...
[14:32] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> My rendering system should be pretty feature complete by now. I even have horizontal interrupts 😅 . They're used to enable/disable the display after certain scanlines and/or move around the vertical scroll offsets to create effects like this.

[19:41] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> Let's see if I ever really come to the point of wanting to implement that port 😅 .
[19:45] <grogbot> [discord] <athrxx> But it probably really is the best port of the remaining ones. The PC-98 version has the problem that it was shipped "unfinished", without the last act.
