yeah it was a shit conversion .. DID did so well with all their previous Ami games.. but certainly F#@$#@ this one up.

The Amiga market was so dry at the time, they probably didnt give a shit anyway.

666pinhead · 30 October 2006, 12:00

Please can re-up someone this game, i am searching for it for a long time

The conversion was never finished. DID killed it while it was in beta. It was this beta that was later released on CUAmiga. I give the programmer who did the port credit though -- he stuck around longer to fix a few bugs and improve a couple things, even though it never really became completely fixed.

666pinhead · 02 November 2006, 15:58

Is there nobody who has this game. It were fantastic if someone can upload it.

DamienD · 02 November 2006, 17:05

In The Zone! for you 666pinhead

666pinhead · 02 November 2006, 18:02

@DamienD
Thank you very much, i just can't believe it, that i now have this game, many many thanks

killergorilla · 02 November 2006, 18:08

Told ya someone would help you out

And it's the one and only DamienD!

AmigaHope · 06 November 2006, 16:10

Don't forget to get the patch/upgrade to the final beta version! The author of the Amiga port did some fixes/optimizations after the CUAmiga coverdisc version of the beta was released.

You can grab them at his website which is STILL up almost 10 years later!

Do you guys see the ad with the next generation AMD K6 processor and the statement that 3dfx rules the 3d card market at the bottom

I have looked for the game in this forum and by the net and I have not found it!,it would be great if somebody can upload it to the zone,please.

viddi · 05 October 2007, 10:39

frikilokooo · 05 October 2007, 10:47

What fast your answer, thank viddi very much

killergorilla · 05 October 2007, 13:13

Viddi,

any clue on what the three different archives are?

I was going to upload it my webspace but only wanted to create one zip file from the lot.

Thanks!

Steve · 05 October 2007, 13:22

The first file is the main TFX archive. This contains the files from the CU Amiga cover CD. The second file contains replacement executable files which are supposed to fix bugs in the 020 and 030 versions of the game. I say supposed because both files crash when I try to use them on WinUAE. The last file seems to be the update for the 040 version of TFX. I'm not sure why this file is called tfx.strip though.

Anyone managed to get the updates to work on WinUAE?

Steve · 05 October 2007, 13:53

I said 'crash' above but actually its an ugly graphic corruption I receive. This is what the newer 020 beta version looks like on WinUAE for me. The original TFX 020 executable runs fine with no graphic problems.

Steve · 05 October 2007, 14:47

I just tried the FPU version from the original archive. As you can see it works perfectly fine (albeit one or two in-game bugs) using the exact same configuration. I have no idea why these newer executables don't work.

frikilokooo · 05 October 2007, 15:30

the original archive with the fpu version works to me too but 040 version doesn't work.I have copied updates to the game but they don't replace any file... is it necessary to delete any file?

Steve · 05 October 2007, 16:20

I've heard many people say the 68040 version doesn't work. Maybe it only works with certain accelerator cards? I'm not really sure.

On WinUAE the FPU verson works the best. Its fairly stable and is quite fast as well.

I have now spent most of the afternoon creating a brand new HDF version of TFX for KillerGorilla to put on his webpage.

Its a 12MB HDF and is fully bootable, runs the FPU version of TFX and has all the graphics options turned up so it looks kick ass!

If you find that it runs a bit too slow on your machine you can always turn off some of the graphics options like texture mapping and goraud shading by entering the config menu. Just press the ` key which is in the top left corner of a QWERTY keyboard (next to the 1) while the game is running.

Also note the HDF contains the three patches in a seperate directory called (funnily enough) Patches. I wrote a ReadMe file which explains how to use the different TFX executables. You'll find that in the Patches directory. I still can't get any of the patches to work though.

Feel free to give the patches a try. Read the text though which gives a bit more info. Basically the game always boots from a file called TFX. So replace TFX in the main directory with TFX.020 or TFX.030 etc. renamed to TFX.

Don't forget to enable FPU hardware in your WinUAE config! I've found that enabling JIT and turning OFF sound emulation also help a lot.

Enjoy!
