hello!

I am now forking MegaZeux to add features, like new SMZX modes and new counters.

So far, i have:
- mzx_bpp, a new counter to check the BPP MegaZeux is running at
- SMZX mode 4, an 8x7 SMZX mode 3
- SMZX mode 5, a 4x14 1024-colour SMZX mode 3.

More on SMZX mode 5:

Quote

The base is calculated as (color number*4).
The next 3 colors are then base+1, base+2, base+3.
So, for example, selecting colors give you:
- color 0: 0, 1, 2, 3
- color 1: 4, 5, 6, 7
- color 2: 8, 9, 10, 11
- color 3: 12, 13, 14, 15
etc...
The mzx_bpp counter is for the 8-bpp mode, because in it, it only supports the first 256 colors. Extra colors are wrapped around.

Enjoy!

v1:
Win32 binary
Source code (i hope it works)

As I can't edit anymore, and I found out SMZX mode 5 is quite bugged, it's broken. I'm fixing it right now.

Thank you, fixed now. If I forgot to add in any more libraries, please tell me as I do that sometimes...
Also, fixed SMZX mode 5 and added a demo so you can see it has more than 256 colors lol.

Don't generate shared libraries, then GCC will link them statically. That's what we do for the official builds (except for SDL, for debugging purposes). Also, you don't need SDL_net, MZX has its own network layer.

Oh, silly me. Well, now it's too late and I'm far too lazy to do that until I fix the modes fully.

But, what do you think about the addons themselves?

FOCUS POINT 2: THE ASSAULT OF TURNERS (asiefork only)

Also, a way to detect my fork:

set "smzx_mode" 4
if "smzx_mode" = 4 "theforkisthere"
* "no fork, stupid"
end
: "theforkisthere"
* "fork, stupid"

EDIT: also, an interactive color demo. arrow keys and space d00ds

Is there a way to detect asiefork outside of MegaZeux, so that I can add support for it to checkres utility?

In addition to asiekierka's suggestion, you can also check to see if it's a game that actually exists. If it does, then it wasn't made with his fork.

You'd have to do an auxiliary check to make sure checkres isn't running on asie's computer first, though.

But I am going to add a counter as soon as i add something worthwhile.

"ASIEFORK_VER"

[zzo38]

None of that will help detect it outside of MegaZeux. What I am asking is a way to detect it from checkres. And I don't want to make it a silly way like Exophase/Lancer-X described. (I want to make the checkres included with PZX versions (my fork of MegaZeux) to detect as many forks as possible, but if some cannot be detected in this way I will just have to omit checking for those forks)

Except yours, none can apparently.
