Means « Pixels to Sprites & Masks »: image tool dedicated for games development (2/16/256 colors sprites). Work is done on chunky two-dimensional byte-array, so that image modifications are made independently to current screenmode.
Can be used as plain drawing tool for oldschool pixel artwork.

Needs EdDI cookie for offscreen VDI (NVDI), plenty of RAM and strong CPU.
Uses a customized PARX.SYS, provided in the archives.

HexEdit

4 commentaires

Just another hexadecimal viewer and editor. Coded a new one because I got tired of old Discpac, which has issues on modern setups.

Currently for files, floppy disk A or B, ST-RAM, ST-Cartridge, TOS-ROM.
Can run as application or accessory.

Atari - V4SA

Fēng Shuǐ distro for GEM use

2 commentaires

Here is a modest proposal for the V4SA, based on my own setup. My purpose is to use a simple and stable, clean and tidy GEM environment for my GFA coding: have to discard my own bugs from unsafe/unverified softwares. So few applications, the only I could use everyday. My own apps seem to run without a hitch, so they are present in number here. Sorry about that, please complete and test one by one with other softwares you want to use. Continuer la lecture de Fēng Shuǐ distro for GEM use →

Dosfs.ldg

Un commentaire

Library using the LDG system and the dosfs functions, only for floppy disks images (hard disk support is removed), taken from ggnkua’s Jacknife Total Commander plugin, and modified a little to rename files/folders (and volume name if present in the FAT).
Used by:
– KK Commander to handle ST and MSA floppy disks images.
Other programs can use it, please read KKcmd GFA sources (dfs_* functions) as exemple.

Here are listed versions for 68K, 68020-060 and ColdFire V4e using cross-compilation and the mintlib. Safe LDG.PRG is provided to install TSR ldg functions and the ‘LDGM’ cookie needed for my applications.

See snapshotsest une réécriture en GFA en hommage à un ancien jeu de tir. Le but est d’y rejouer depuis le bureau GEM, dans les résolutions étendues des dernières machines et émulateurs Atari (FireBee, Falcon+CT60, Aranym, AtariX, etc).
Des niveaux de test sont fournis. Un éditeur de niveaux est fourni à côté pour que les passionnés puissent les construire eux-mêmes.

is a GFA rewrite and a tribute to an old famous excellent shoot’em’up game. The purpose is to play it again on the GEM desk, on the latest and high-end Atari machines or the new emulators (ie V4SA, FireBee, Falcon+CT60, Aranym, AtariX). Test levels are packed in these archives. A levels editor is provided for fanboys to build their own maps.

Bomb The Bass’ original music is not included nor supported.

See snapshotis a Dungeon Master clone.
The program uses the images of the legendary game. So you must have the original disk of Dungeon Master or Chaos Strikes back for the copyright.
If you’re a DM-addict, go to see the The Dungeon Master Encyclopedia.

See snapshots est un port-réécriture en GEM et GFA de la version remasterisée Amiga. Nécessite un mode vidéo au minimum de 640*480 px et 256 couleurs.
Sur machine rapide de préférence.

is a GEM and GFA port of the revamped Amiga version. This project is frozen: current step is AI for computer fighter but I’m not motivated to code any AI that cut heads off. Maybe work will resume in a few years.
Since 640*480*256c screenmode. NVDI and quick machine strongly advised.

(Rage) Screen Saver

6 commentaires

Another screen saver accessory. Originaly developped for fVDI on Falcon+Eclipse and ATI RageIIc, under MagiC environment. And now extended for FreeMiNT.

Mouse cursor moves are monitored. If inaction, then 2 actions:
1 – first is software (MagiC or MiNT required), launching an animation program such as one of my VDI Effects or one of your own.
and/or, but always next
2 – second is DPMS, with two methods:
2.1 – one software, by displaying a black image, in order to save pixels, and hopefully for the monitor to detect it and turn into sleep mode.
2.2 – one hardware, by setting off the display in the registers of the video card. Detection is automatic if PCI BIOS is available. If not, you can set it manually for your video card expansion. Read the ST-Guide documentation and the GFA sources.

Brings SSL/TLS layer (recent TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to clients applications using MiNTnet and STinG/STiK TCP layers.
Built on mbedTLS 3.6.2 and LDG system.
Used by :
– Troll, usenet and email client.
– Meg, mailbox checker and spam eraser.
– Litchi, ftp client.
Other programs can use it, please read the how-to and functions calls in the st-guide documentation.

Here are listed versions for 68K, 68020-060 and ColdFire V4e using cross-compilation and the mintlib. Safe LDG.PRG is provided to install TSR ldg functions and the ‘LDGM’ cookie needed for my applications.

NB: TLS 1.2 needs a very strong CPU (060, ColdFire, Aranym, V4SA). TLS 1.3 seems quicker but still may also good highclocked CPU.
