Well, I had the perfect thing typed up, and then I closed my browser before leaving work... I'll try to hopefully recreate what I'd said. I don't think a different name for oamSet is really necessary. Where I believe I became most confused was as I went out to find help in places other than here and...

To hopefully clarify my confusion a little, here's what I'm getting at. In the SimpleSprite example, I commented out the top screen sprite and created two on bottom: //u16* gfx = oamAllocateGfx(&oamMain, SpriteSize_16x16, SpriteColorFormat_256Color); u16* gfxSub = oamAllocateGfx(&oamSub, Spr...

No sweat. I try not to, but I have a bad habit of asking questions and then diving in and researching anything an everything anyway, hence all the edits... I'll surely keep them coming, and I do have another. By sprite id I'm talking about the 2nd parameter of the oamSet function. I've basically jus...

Hello Again, I'm feeling a bit like a pest, but I'm hoping that some of my questions will end up helping others trying to make a similar transition. I can't find a way to define the sprite id number (second parameter of oamSet). Running a quick test, it seems to just increment itself (separately per...

Thanks dovoto, I believe I've finally got it. On to new ventures...

I suppose I may have a couple of other questions on the matter, but it's time to start applying and testing to see what I can do.

I will definitely give grit a try. Lets just say I created my own unsigned char array then. If I understand your answer then the dmaCopy function should work as I believed it would and it's not. If I have an array of 256 unsigned chars and use dmaCopy, shouldn't the size be 128? EDIT AS I'm TYPING.....

I'm struggling a little bit to understand this, but I think I get the gist. I'll be using 256 color sprites of varying sizes mostly larger than 16X16. What would be a good default value for the boundary if I wasn't sure of the best way to maximize this option? I suppose what I'm not understanding is...

dmaCopy as defined should be copying half-words, and as I understand it are 16 bit values. I am working in the SimpleSprite example and added my own sprite array, just an array of 256 unsigned chars (output actually from PAGfx...). Anyway, it's just a single 16 X 16 sprite named face_Sprite and I've...

(Had posted on dev-scene's forums but I'm not getting much help over there.) I almost fully understand all of the elements from the SimpleSprite tutorial, except for one thing:The SpriteMapping_1D_32 enum that is passed to the oamInit() function. After reviewing a spot in patater's tutorial, I belie...
