Street fighter 2 CPC edition
Hi everyone;
Have you seen this [ Show youtube player ] ? This is so impressive, i am nearly sure it's fake, I think it's a pc version of street fighter 2 using graphics cpc style; I already saw an action pc game with cpc style graphics. |

Awesome. Is it more than 16 colors? Looks like it is but how?

It's not really a CPC It's a PC program that looks like a CPC game
Actually really not bad. |

Nah, it´s a fake.
It has background anims and parallax scrolling. So this stuff plus two large sprites fit in 128k? No way. Even the Amiga version lacks animated backgrounds. A decent conversion might be possible on the Plus machines, though. |

not to mention it has music and colour gfx at the same time. Dont think such a cpc game exists that does. Just having music in the first place is an achievement

You can get a patched Street Fighter 2 version for the CPC here:

that's why, the sprites must always be uncompressed in cartridge type games, or very rarely they are compressed in rom and are decompressded on the fly on a part of the small ram, small step by small step in transition to get it whole to video ram on as single frame, for this a special decompressing chip is used. (like the case for super street fighter 2 turbo or alpha i think on the snes) This also means that a game stored in cartridges is coded differently than a disc game that loads everything to memory; And in the case a cartridge game is dumped to disc, it has to be loaded entirely in ram in order to be played. (example are msx games that need 64kb or less when in cartridge form, but need total cartridge rom size + variable space to allow to work as disc formats, and end up needing for example 128kb if the game rom itself is less than 128kb). So, maybe if this CPC street fighter was on cartridge, as in cpc+, it may fit in the 128kb ram, but...even, i don't think the cpc can handle a game like that... correct me if wrong, those are just speculations of my part |

100% a fake
one can see at 0:37 when it fades out... cpc doesn't have so many shades to achieve that effect. It doesn't say it is for CPC Plus though, the game could be possible there, maybe even with that parallax... the scrolling is quite jerky, so it could be ;-) Remember that CPC needed to push around 16k of data to do scrolling and this looks full screen to me. No way... |

Intresting point of view Jgames and something I would like to know more about Surley an Amiga with 2mb would have enough memory to hold backgrouns all sprites and anything else if coded correctly - I dont think sprites would be read direct from cartridge in game? - I might be wrong ;-) |

For example, take the snes for example that has 64kb ram; if you want to display a full screen 320*200 image on the snes (just an example, snes dosn't have the 320*200) in 8bits colour mode, this is 64kb of memory, if you put this image on ram before sending it to vram, all the ram would be filled! where is then the game code?, the variables etc..., the system would just crash. Coin up Arcade games are like that also, very small ram. |

Actually, we need someone who knows about those cartdrige consoles or computers or aracde developpement to clarify;
because, if the rom are copied directly to vram, without double buffering(That needs ram as big as vram), the drawing transitions (background, forground, sprites, text etc...) will flicker the screen...normally; unless the copy it is done very very fast on one go. If the system can keep up with a steady fast frame rate, the player will see nothing, else, the player will see background drawn first, then sprites one after one, then text after etc... if the game happens to slow down badly. |

From memory i seem to remember the amstrad was very similar to a speccy 48/128k but with a better colour mode.
Theres no way in gods green earth this is running on a stock amstrad CPC. Its on par with the megadrive version. no way no how! |

Megadrive version looks better than that cpcesque pc game.
Also i think it could be possible to program this game for the cpc. In fact i have magazones of the time when the games is announced for several platforms, included the Amstrad. |

I don't know any CPC game with sampled sfx... I think it's too much for this machine.

I've done some search on the cartdrige games, the wiki says this
Quote:
This means, the cartrige is considered as RAM in the console, or the computer. It's accessed like a read only RAM to be more correct; It's like having a game from floppy already loaded to ram. This means that writing a rom game, variables declaration must be explicitly put in a region where the ram is read and write; (the small ram the console have) So the rom games are executed directly from the rom; now the question i would like an answer to is how the double buffering is done, if the amount of ram is much lesser than memory needed for a full screen dispaly mode? Maybe as i pointed before, most consoles don't do double buffering, and write directly to Vram?, or write to a non displayable portion of Vram and flip (change address) to this vram when wanting to display; like DOS Modex (that uses 256 kb of vram, making it capable of using 4 pages of 64kb 320*200 screens), but this needs a lot of ram (256kb) to do that. Anyone can help? |

Not sure the early 8-bit consoles & home computers could "flip" the screen address? Pretty sure in most it was at a fixed location, no? If you needed to double buffer you have the overhead of copying too. Last edited by alexh; 27 August 2009 at 14:09. |
