** SEGA GENESIS E.B.H update **
Added since last update :
Woah .. progress this week is wild !!
Blitted Starfield ( makes the most of one layer by compositing stars over each other for added parallax ) .
Enemy explosions - debris and particles to come yet.
New spread shot firepower and 2 levels of both firepower concentrated and spread - this will be upgraded a lot yet . With further types and animations added.
New enemies and new Battleships enter the scenes, the new battle ships are spawn 32 bullets in 4 pulses ( 128 bullets each ) .. so bullet counts a nice and heavy in those scenes.
Music added !! SFX to come, using XGM2 driver here for a 1.6% cpu load - thats about my budget for it too in this game haha - every cycle counts when we climb to 350 objects onscreen.
Huge thanks to @Luke86McQueen for the amazing OST you are listening too now . @GabrielPyron for the player ship frames, @Carsten1349 artwork for Battleship and Red enemy - I've also done a bit of the art myself which has been a nice change from endless coding.
Early days but its shaping up . It seems 3 shooters on the go (Parodius , Lufthoheit , EBH ) might be the right number !!

It's interesting how AI is constantly providing false information and incorrect statements about my area of expertise. Fortunately, it's very useful and always right about topics I know very little about.

In the age of AI, the reader struggles because the writer doesn't have to.

By the way, this explanation was added to our "about page" earlier last month.
ALT No A.I.
AVX-512 on Zen 5 is nuts.
Naive instrinsics(95% vibecoded, probably crap. don't attack me, I'm learning to do it by hand too) doing 8x the particles of my handwritten path, 3C cooler. Or same # @ 5x the fps and somehow down 15C. @AMDRyzen @rpcs3 @FFmpeg youtu.be/P6Pf-_7r6XQ
Putting a disclaimer here. I don't really love using an AI to code like this. It was a quick experiment for fun and I don't really consider it code that I wrote, aside from the original starfield renderer this was based on.

A new project I have been working on, which I recently completed: using the Sega Saturn Audio chip DSP to process 3D polygons. Finally we can use ALL the chips and the Saturn is more powerful than the PlayStation! 😉😉

does anyone actually know why modern software so fucking slow? cpus and ssds are so insanely stupidly fast and every year things feel worse and worse.

The speed of it coming from a 1Mhz C64 was staggering. 7 times faster.
Can you imagine suddenly getting a machine or console today, that's 7 times faster than your previous machine.
Was wonderful.
can anyone explain how the koss ksc75s sound so good for $20 headphones? @KossHeadphones again, I ask you to make a premium version with a better cable.

There legit isn't much better than Final Fight, SOR2 and Spikeout still unfortunately. That said there is Violent Storm, especially on hardest dip switches, Ninja Warriors Again SFC, Undercover Cops + Ninja Baseball Batman. Sailor Moon arcade is stupid but shockingly fun
