I've put together a bunch of scripts to do just this, combined with newly made dualPNG icons:

Resolved, the games tested were not supported, found compatible game

Was a bit rushed with my previous post, so didn't get a chance to say thanks for this great port!

[lantus360]

that is great - thanks!

Now it will work here too, AHI was not working right here and a other thing, now it works with Beats of Rage, i will test other, nice Port.

A 030 version with FPU where really nice to see. only to see how fast it will run.

Why not run the 040 version in the 030? There is just one 040 instruction that the 030 lacks. Chances are that the 040 version runs just fine.

Great stuff @Lantus360

If you don't have a windows machine and need to extract the .PAK files You can get the tools here: https://sourceforge.net/p/openbor/to.../tools/borpak/

the source is included just incase your target isn't x86

Why it say on start 68040 Required

One could hope - fair enough...I'll wait till I get a Vampire 1200!!!

[aszu]

Correct me if I'm wrong but if we manage to get new gfx and msx we could create a new beat em up game for amigas, couldn't we?

There is only one user mode integer instruction added to the 68040 (MOVE16) and I have never seen a compiler generate it. This means integer only code compiled for the 68040 (and 68060) will almost always run on a 68020/68030. The 68040 FPU has several new instructions variations (FS<op> and FD<op>). Code compiled for the 68040 (and 68060) with GCC which uses the FPU would likely *not* be compatible with a 68020/68030 with 6888x (not true for vbcc or SAS/C compiled code).

There are several potential reasons for the requester and it may be too generic to be helpful. Perhaps the code needs an FPU and you don't have one. Perhaps lantus360 explicitly checks exec base for a 68040 and exits as he expects anything less to be too slow. There may be some fast 68030s with fast RTG or FPGA Arcade RTG with 68030 simulation that would be tolerable performance though.

It doesnt need FPU, since it runs on Vampire....

I hard coded 040 or higher at startup - I'll remove this restriction for the next build but honestly I wouldn't expect miracles . Especially if you're using AGA (chunky 2 planar)

@lantus360

Noticed an odd quirk in the controls when doing a jump kick that I don't see on other platforms I played this game on. Here is a video sort of explaining what I see. And I think I see the same issue in your video. in my demonstration Both are using the same .PAK file, of course extracted on the Amiga version.

Not going to happen eh! sadly have realised even if you get it working on 030 I don't have enough memory - boo hoo

Good video and yes I can see the issue. Thanks for posting that

Available on Aminet openBOR GUI, some small imperfections on the GUI on a RTG screen

A version working on 030 would be welcome!

[idrougge]

A version working on an A500 would be even more welcome.
