Proppy has been silent but he submitted a 4 kb WIP version of a SMS game he's been working on with Tet, to the minigame compo:

Blockhead has some sprite mess on the screen (and an ugly green border); and the sprite limit makes it much harder to play.

RobbyIE has the character about 32 pixels below where it's supposesd to be, so it can't climb ladders or pick up the items so it's basically unplayable.

Fun fun fun!

Unfortunately not - at best it'd be a crappy webcam shot anyway. The green border is easy to fix. For the sprite junk: are you zeroing VRAM? Are you setting the y value of the first unused sprite to 208?

the first tile is zeroed
but it seems i forgot to zero my SAT mirror in RAM

so it will stop displaying of remaining unused sprite

are you avaiable for testing upcoming version of real hardware ?

many thanx for your remarks and advices.

Low nibble of VDP register 7 chooses an entry from the sprite palette.

That could be it - RAM can contain junk from the BIOS.

I can, but not rapidly since I have to unpack my SMS each time and most days I'm a lot more busy than I was today.

If Maxim isn't available I can test on a US SMS1.

I can test properly as well now that I'm back.
I'd give a SMS to Proppy but I have no spare RAM/flash cart/copier.
