Thank you Kriz!

It's always nice to see Amiga lovers around!

I've got AmigaE setup, I could take a little look?

I'm not promising anything as I'm only used to compiling my own programs, and none of mine include ASM but it's worth a go maybe?

derSammler · 07 November 2007, 21:29

Was the PC version of the game published?

Dizzy · 07 November 2007, 21:43

maybe marco should start give us italian lessons instead

Yes, it was published as well.

You can find hints and tips on several italian forums related to adventures.

You can download the source codes of the first episode at the following address:

http://www.farenga.it/amiga/sa1.lha

Please mantain the original credits (and add yours) if you publish anything. Thanks!

Fabrizio

PS: Source comments are in Italian, good luck! ;-)

Can you check the archive at your end? I've tried downloading it but it gives me a crc error when I try and extract it.

The file with the error is Montagne5.LBM

I'm a bit confused now, because you say "as well". The Amiga version wasn't published but the MS-DOS version was?

Yes. Sorry, my english is not perfect.

The Amiga version was not published. Only the MS-Dos version found his way to the shops.

I sorted out the problem. It seems to be a multipart LHA file. The link I provided was to the first part only.

Now I made a zip with all the five parts. I don't know how to extract a multipart LHA on a PC. Maybe you should try to use LHA on an Amiga Emulator.

I've just extracted the lha's with no problems, looks quite promising...

There is a lot of Italian text so it would take some time to translate, but it's compiling fine so it should be ok as long as the strings are kept the same length.

HOL entry done.

I noticed that the developer is set to "uknown", it should be Holodream.

Were the four episodes sold seperately (so it's actually four games of one series instead of one game) like the Simulmondo series Diabolik, Dylan Dog etc.? Then it might be better to have HOL entries for each as it is the case with the others. Found an Italian solution here: http://www.biffuz.it/misc/storia_ancestrale.html

Yes, it was planned to be sold separately.

If anyone does want to translate this just let me know and I'll delve in properly and supply all the necessary italian bits and bobs.

After the english version is done (and before the recompilation, of course) I can translate it to Brazilian Portuguese.

Holodream sounds familiar...wasn't that race game from team 17 developed by them? F17 Challenge? I liked that game a lot

Yes it is. And it is even mentioned on the page where from you can download The Ancestral Trail game.
