Ok, I'll do myself the conversion

Hello, thanks sandruzzo For the source I'm not ASM coder but are interesant too see your code.

Silver did you rip the gfx? If yes ,Can you share? Thanks

All the best

[dlfrsilver]

it takes more time, mostly because there is quite some work to do, and also because i'm searching a job currently. I'm not that often at home.

I look this week-end to post here some of my work.

We should try 2 gfx layput: one with 16 colors and the other with 32. I would like to add A parallax background using 4 left sprite, and I'm not sure that with 32 colors we can make game run at 50 hz.

With 4*16 pixel sprite we can add a 64pixel pattern to use as parallax, spread it all through the screen, wixh should be only 256 pixel wide.

If we play well with palette and copper we can have more that 16 usable color on screen.

Tile ripping is actually quite fun, once one got the correct offset and the bobs are removed, everything fits together:


The ripping itself/tile elimination could be done with a tool.

Great Work! Can you put all tiles into a iff pic? What we need after that is tiles' map to write all gfxs' tile into screen.

How many color this pic have?

Keep in mind that lava and the bottom background will be corrected colored with copper, so we can spare some colors for main background

This is just a test, still with 6planes (61 cols)! E.g. many browns are basically the same and could be merged together. I'll keep working on it.

It is a bit tricky, because the levelmaps are *not* as accurate as expected; sometimes there is a misstep of one pixel or two. (my grid had a mistake too).

Round 1: 80 colors,
Round 2: 60 colors.
They should share the same palette, so i have to merge them together.

So, the lava tiles could use some of the green colors, but there are red buddies too (Sprites?).

60 colors is a lot. Can you reduce them to 16/32? Even if we have 1 or 2 missed pixel is not a problem. We can do a new levelmap based upon grabbed tiles. Who bother if our maps is better

Even were Rygar walk can be palettized ed remmaped with copper, so we can spare some colors for background

Keep in mind that we have The mighty Copper

But this very pixel could be the eye of the owl, and you don't know what else from other enemies or special bobs. I'll try to trim down the brown shades, and mix the rocks and the "grey" from the bonus extra together. this should save some colors. Automatic color reduction still looks awful, especially the green/blue green.
