Hi !

 

Anyone know when the INT_TYPE_VCNT is generated and how many microsends or millisecond is the duration ?? I never found infos about...

There is a sort of HDMA like SNES on GBA to do some nice affect ???

 

Thanks a lot...

In Japan I think users have been able to 'link' to the
internet via cell phones since launch.  If you mean
actually browsing the internet (WAP) then no, I
haven't heard of such a thing but it is quite
possible.  All you'd need is a way to connect (adaptor
and cell phone) and some kind of WAP browser that
you'd load up from the CART.

INT_TYPE_VCNT (V-Count interrupt) occurs when it reaches the number
specified
in R_DISSTAT (0x4000004).

8..F bits in R_DISSTAT are for V-Count line trigger. Set this to the V-Count
value you wish to trigger an interrupt.

You can also simply set the V-Count trigger value using M_DISSTAT_VCNT_SET
macro.


Don't forget to assign an interrupt function as INT_TYPE_VCNT btw!


Here a little example. VCountFunc is triggered at scanline 80 ...


    void VCountFunc(void)
    {
       // blbala
    }


    ham_StartIntHandler(INT_TYPE_VCNT, (void *)&VCountFunc);
    M_DISSTAT_VCNT_SET(80);


Hope it helps

I just uploaded a basic test of my PolyNova 3D Engine port, can
someone try it out on hardware and see if:

a) It runs
b) How fast and smooth it looks

When I run it using VBA I get some nasty polygon tearing.

Thanks

It depends on the size of object. If it in that size as it
is on start, it runs fluently. If I zoom it to maximum it seems
to slowdown a little and when the object is larger than screen
it plots pixels at some weird places.

The initialization, after HAM logo, takes quite a while though ...

Hi !

Anybody know what is wrong in this declaration ??


TOOL_DMA3_SET_EX(&palet,MEM_PAL,SIZEOF_16BIT(palet),DMA_TRANSFER_16BIT,DMA_S
TARTAT_HBL,1,0,1,DMA_STARTAT_NOW)


Why nothing appear on the screen ???

Thanks a lot...

Batblaster...

Hi to everyone...

I've tried to make an HDMA tool using the internal TOOL_DMA in mygba.h with
some modify.
I have some problems because somethings appear wrong, here you can found all
code needed to test it.

With SNES the HDMA use , source , destination , register where put data ,
amount of data , size of data , auto increment ...

I've tried to do the same putting , source , destination , size , quantity,
repeat , datatype 16 or 32bit , when (vbl or Hbl) , autoincrement of source
but not of the destination..

The problem found i think is :

when the dma start in hbl copy the amount of data in one time this is why i
put amout =1 but i've tried with some different value.
when reach the end of data the source counter will not be resetted to the
start position but the increment continue to infinite.

If someone have idea or the solution to use HDMA to make colors effect like
rasterbar or others please , if is possible , help me...

Thanks a lot to anyone in advance...

Thanks for that Peter, I'm glad it runs on hardware.

The 2D triangle renderer still gets a bit 'funny'
sometimes, I'll nail it one of these days :)

Something dawned on me the other day, when using mode
4 (240x160) for 3d graphics, because of the 'must
write to two pixels at once hardware rule', you
effectivley reduce resolution to (120x80) which is
kind of weak :(

By the way, do you know Derek John Evans awesome YETI 3D engine?

It uses mode5, also reduced resolution (120x80) but looks still pretty
good!!!

Here's the link:
http://www.theteahouse.com.au/gba


I posted a VisualHAM workspace for this one on 25.10.2003 (filesection), if
you want to
compile the source using VHAM :-)

See you,

Hi,


I have some problems using the TOOL_DMA3_SET_EX macro to perform DMA based
memoryfills.

I have an u16 array which i want to "memset" using DMA 16bit mode.
For example I want set each element in array to 0x1122.

After DMA call the array elements look like this:
0x0, 0x1122, 0x0, 0x1122 ...

When I change the source variable from u16 to u32 and change value from
0x1122 to 0x11221122 all elements seems to be set correct.

But this cannot be the way :P


I made a little project to illustrate the problem, code starts here:


#include <mygba.h>

u16 myArray[10]={ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

int main(void)
{
    u16 Value16 = 0x1122;
    u32 Value32 = 0x11221122;

    ham_Init();

    TOOL_DMA3_SET_EX(&Value16,             // source address
                     myArray,              // destination address
                     10,                   // size
                     DMA_TRANSFER_16BIT,   // bitmode
                     DMA_STARTAT_NOW,      // timing
                     0,                    // repeat
                     10,                   // source address count
                     0,                    // destination address count
                     0);                   // irq

    int i;
    for(i=0; i<10; i++)
    {
       ham_VBAText("0x%.2x, ", myArray[i]);
    }
    ham_VBAText("\n\n\n");

    while(TRUE)
    {

    }

    return 0;
}


The array "myArray" contains after calling code above this:
0x00, 0x1122, 0x00, 0x1122, 0x00, 0x1122, 0x00, 0x1122, 0x00, 0x1122,

When you change TOOL_DMA3_SET_EX(&Value16...) into TOOL_DMA3_SET_EX(&Value32
...) it outputs this:
0x1122, 0x1122, 0x1122, 0x1122, 0x1122, 0x1122, 0x1122, 0x1122, 0x1122,
0x1122, (looks good tho)


Here some info about the parameters:

/*
    Source address count values (from thepernproject.com):

    Bits 23-24: These control your how your source counter is affected by
each transfer
    (by transfer I mean each word copied).

    00-increment-the source counter is incremented after each transfer
    01-decrement-the source counter is decremented after each transfer
    10-fixed-good for memory fills as the same data will get copied each
frame
*/

/*
    Destination address count values (from thepernproject.com)

    Bits 21-22: These control your how your destination counter is affected
by each transfer.

    00-increment-the destination counter is incremented after each transfer
    01-decrement
    10-fixed- direct sound FIFO access
    11-this value is different for the Destination control. When set it will
increment.
       At the end of the transfer (this time I mean the entire DMA) it will
be reset to its
       initial value. This is what we will be using for mode 7 effects.
*/


Anyone has/had the same problem?

Macro incorrect or is it me? :P


Kind regards,
Peter

Hi Peter

Like some other mail maded by me is a week i have problem with DMA i think
i have the same problem of you because i'm tring to send color value (16bit
) to the color register and did not work correctly...

Hi,


I changed "source address count" from 10 into 2 and it works now ...

The description I read means values in bits and not decimal as I thought,
so 10 = 2 in decimal :P

Hi ,

The problems aren't finished , i think for me but the documentation on the
AGB Nintendo manual and in other docs i have tell

Bit 25: DMA Repeat - This will cause the DMA to repeat every Hblank or
Vblank if you have that speciefied in your timing bits.

i've tried this:

Using the part of code who Peter release 2 mails ago i do that:

    TOOL_DMA3_SET_EX(&palet,             // source address
                     myArray,              // destination address
                     2,                   // size
                     DMA_TRANSFER_16BIT,   // bitmode
                     DMA_STARTAT_HBL,      // timing
                     0,                    // repeat
                     0,                   // source address count
                     0,                    // destination address count
                     0);                   // irq

Only 2 word i want to transfer...

Result:
0x00, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,


Ok now i change the repeat bit to 1 and the result is:

    TOOL_DMA3_SET_EX(&palet,             // source address
                     myArray,              // destination address
                     2,                   // size
                     DMA_TRANSFER_16BIT,   // bitmode
                     DMA_STARTAT_HBL,      // timing
                     1,                    // repeat
                     0,                   // source address count
                     0,                    // destination address count
                     0);                   // irq

Result:
0x00, 0x02, 0x04, 0x06, 0x08, 0x0a, 0x0c, 0x0e, 0x11, 0x13, 0x15, 0x17,
0x19, 0x1b, 0x1d, 0x1f, 0x7c00, 0x7400, 0x7000, 0x6800, 0x6400, 0x6000,
0x5800, 0x5400, 0x5000, 0x4800, 0x4400, 0x4000, 0x3800, 0x3400, 0x3000,
0x2800, 0x2400, 0x2000, 0x1800, 0x1400, 0x1000, 0x800, 0x400, 0x00,

WHY if the repeat is 1 the source and destination address pointer aren't
restarted ?????
Can anyone tell me if is MY approching problem to the DMA functions or is
somethings very strange ??? Without the restarting of the Memory address
(source and destination) is impossible , for me , to work like an HDMA...

Thanks a lot to anyone...

hi,

im away for too long and when im back, there was too much term that
so alien to me like 'PolyNova':

1) What is PolyNova?
2) Any sample codes?

Hi,

PolyNova is my attempt at a port of my win32 3D portal
renderer to the humble GBA.  I've been working on it
for a couple of months now and so it's not all there
yet.

You can have a look at the win32 version here ->
www.novacoder.com

I'll upload a test VHAM workspace, it's all very basic
at the moment though.

The editor on your site looks promising - is that fully integrated into

Thanx Emanuel, glad you liked it.

The editor is built on the engine but you will not be
able to load the levels you create into the GBA
version yet because I haven't got round to adding
object persistance...maybe one day ;)

Hi Emmanuel, does the new release has something to work on multiuser?
Anything about this for the future?
Thanks,

Hi,

currently, Multiuser support is rather high on the agenda for the next major
update, but no promises. It is a hard module to get right -- I failed once
already... :)

<note>Copied from Ngine.de Forum, sorry 'bout that!</note>

Hi, everyone!
Just started experimenting with new HAM devkit 2.8, and I noticed that
GCC 3.3.2 seems to compile a little bit slower binaries compared to 3.2.2
(provided with HAM 2.72)!
Is this a known issue, or is there some mystical optimization methods for
3.3.2 ...? There seems to be other problems as well; for some reason my test
app fails to draw graphics to screen during initialization (see example
files
below). Has anybody else encountered problems with 3.3.2 ?

Example applications:
Simple spinning cubes, mode 4, HAMlib not used.
-- -- -- -->
Build with VHAM + GCC 3.2.2, everything ok:
http://www.isometrik.org/gba/cube_2_72.gba
-- -- -- -->
Build with VHAM + GCC 3.3.2, a bit slower fps, splash screen fails:
http://www.isometrik.org/gba/cube_2_80.gba


Thanks in advance!
--Joni Huhmarniemi

Hi Joni,

I've tested your files and for me the 3.3.2 works fine and maybe a bit
faster not slower then the 3.2.2 but really hard to test is very very
similar...

Thanks for testing, Bat...!

I made some further profiling, and the results are very interestig!

Test case is the same application as before; four spinning filled
cubes + a simple circle drawing. I built the exactly same workspace
with HAM devkit 2.72 (GCC 3.2.2) and HAM devkit 2.8 (GCC 3.3.2)
and here are the results for first ten frames:

2.72 / GCC 3.2.2:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Frames elapsed | Ticks elapsed | Scanl. Start | Scanl. End
-----------------------------------------------------------
        1       |       959      |     203    |      25
        1       |     1447      |       3      |      78
        1       |     1457      |       2      |      79
        1       |     1470      |       2      |      79
        1       |     1487      |       2      |      80
        1       |     1477      |       2      |      80
        1       |     1491      |       3      |      81
        1       |     1452      |       2      |      78
        1       |     1448      |       3      |      78
        1       |     1462      |       3      |      79

2.8 / GCC 3.3.2:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Frames elapsed | Ticks elapsed | Scanl. Start | Scanl. End
-----------------------------------------------------------
        1       |     1962      |     199     |      74
        1       |     2592      |      14      |     149
        1       |     2624      |      28      |     164
        1       |     2655      |      44      |     182
        1       |     2656      |      61      |     199
        1       |     2643      |      78      |     216
        1       |     2668      |      14      |     153
        1       |     2619      |      32      |     168
        1       |     2622      |      47      |     184
        1       |     2622      |      63      |     200

The actual function looks like this:

void Render( void ) {
PROFILER_START
   VGL_DrawCircle( 120, 80, 60, g_uCircleColor );
   VGL_DrawCircle( 120, 80, 64, g_uCircleColor );
   VGL_Render( g_pSpace, g_pCamera );
PROFILER_END
PROFILER_OUTPUT
   VGL_WaitForVblank( );
   VGL_FlipBackBuffer( );
   VGL_ClearBackBuffer( );
};


The difference is so huge that I can't believe these results my self!
Am I just tired and doing something terribly wrong here...???

Hi all,

Trying to draw scan-lines in mode 5 using DMA, the x/y positions
seem fine by the color is always green no matter what I specify for
the RGB value?? Anyone got any ideas?

I'll post the DMA code section here and also upload the entire file.

#define R_DMA3CNT32  *(volatile u32 *)(MEM_IO + 0x0DC)

u16 l_value;
u16 l_count;
s16 l_offset;

   l_count = (a_xFinish - a_xStart);
   l_count++;


   l_offset = (a_y * 160 + a_xStart);

   l_value = RGB(255, 0, 0);

   R_DMA3SRC = (u32)&l_value;
   R_DMA3DST = (u32)(&g_pScreen[l_offset]);
   R_DMA3CNT32 = ((u32)1 << 31) | ((u32)1 << 24) | l_count;
