Nintendo don't have their own magazine. This like every other magazine is put together by fans of the format. The "OFFICIAL" part probably mean that they are allowed to paste the Nintendo logos etc all over the mag without getting sued.Now, although I have said this, I have been reading NP for a long time now and they have never been that far off. Not saying that they get stuff right 100% of the time, but I trust em!-----Original Message-----

At least, that's what NP stated.----- Original Message -----From: Sean DunlevySent: Friday, April 27, 2001 9:18 AMSubject: Re: [gbadev] Tony Hawk SkateboardingI agree, ARM in WRAM executes very nice indeed. Shame about the lack of DIV instruction, but I suppose you can't have everything. It's funny that the way people (well the coders I saw) did what us AGB coders are doing. Code overlays. I know Tomb Raider PSX ended up being made from a HUGE number of overlays. I don't know how many, but it was a lot....----- Original Message -----From: Marc CouparSent: Friday, April 27, 2001 11:53 AMSubject: RE: [gbadev] Tony Hawk SkateboardingI wrote a mocap player on PS1 in R3000 which used a very low number of bones (9) and polys (think it was around 130-150). It only took around 12-13 rasters per player so even accounting for difference in processing power, the PS1 GPU doing the poly render for you and that it used the GTE as well as CPU for the muls in the quaternion code, I would be surprised if the AGB couldn't handle that 1 character.
That said, I'm not an AGB coder, and the character in TH would certainly need more than 9 bones.
Either way, TH looks very impressive.
