Same here, I never use photoshop, paint and paintshop pro are all I need for all the stuff I do.

Well, with "Paintshop Pro" you can shop, too.

Btw., doesn't Skeletor reside in Snake Mountain (or did he conquer the castle)?

But I don't... I only use it for making transparent pictures and saving in different formats

john4p · 12 August 2009, 12:51

Ah, okay.

Yes, that's something Windows Paint can't do (I guess) well (except saving a .jpg as .png).

Ironclaw · 12 August 2009, 12:52

I only use paint for pixel editing.

Can we get back on topic now please.

If they are closely related then maybe the PC table can be ported over!

Really seems like

Had a look at the exe and since it's a DOS game something like Resource Hacker doesn't help. So you would need to manually extract the data from the exe and recode it... not very likely someone does that

And this is from?

I found it here: http://amr.abime.net/coverdisk_index_5

What about table from Slam Tilt? http://amr.abime.net/issue_156_coverdisks It's different on this label.

JohnnyWalker · 06 January 2013, 12:15

So there WAS an Amiga version with The Vikings? But it was just a demo...?

JohnnyWalker · 06 January 2013, 13:06

Bah. Nevermind. It was one table on that demo, but not Vikings.

s2325 · 06 January 2013, 13:27

Yes, it's Demon table but with different graphics for some reason.

Demon? In Pinball Illusions there was no Demon table.

Could you upload this demo into the Zone?

s2325 · 06 January 2013, 14:07

It's Slam Tilt, not Pinball Illusion.

But the discussion is about Pinball Illusions.

I disassembled and poked around inside that 50 MB exe file from the PC CD-ROM verison. At least some of the data seems to be in a different format than the Amiga version. This includes the music, which is plain old Protracker instead of the Digital Illusions format used on Amiga. I extracted the files and submitted them to AMP if anyone's interested (they're prefixed by "Pinball Illusions PC").

There's not much code to translate per table, but there are boatloads of offsets to be adjusted and endian converted. Quite a bit of work for whoever is crazy enough! At least the graphics appear to be in the same format.

Side note: It's quite interesting to see how similar the Amiga and PC code is. It's like they translated the code from 68k to x86 instruction by instruction. I guess it must have been a boring task, because there's an "AMIGA SUCKS" string in there.
