When i press "start race" it shows the track and then hangs.

Perhaps it works better on real hardware.

I did it all under Winuae.

Make sure you are using an AGA configuration.

Oh so it is AGA? remember you said you couldn`t see it being AGA

fryguy · 23 September 2012, 20:43

I'm pretty sure i had enabled full AGA emulation but it's probably some other setting which was wrong.

Its AGA in the sense that thats the way its been coded, though with decent programming it shouldn't need to be AGA.

its AGA for the overlay sprites, it only uses an extra bitplane, but for that extra bitplane, i've frankly seen better looking OCS/ECS games than this.

The other reason for insisting on AGA is the ridiculous memory requirements for the maps and blocks and stuff.

interesting stuff. It reminds me to Warm Up, although this one has more diversity in the track tileset and gives me the feel to look more far than in WU.

Codetapper · 24 September 2012, 01:07

The Hidden must have some more stuff somewhere as the Amiga Power preview of The Big End has what appears to be the Monaco track with tunnel showing.

I still can't believe that what we have here was shown as a demo at the World of Commodore 94 show, as the track doesn't even have all the blocks let alone any collision. And the car graphics look better in the magazines than on-screen. Also those huge status panels are far too distracting. A much smaller panel without all the fluff would have been far better and not required AGA sprites!

Let's hope there is more coming Stainy's way soon.

A big thanks for all your effort and good luck mate.

I'm getting the attached error after trying to assign both ways, file is not executable.

Running on E-UAE, A4000 hard drive setup into Workbench.

Any thoughts, other than it's E-UAE but I don't believe that's the issue.

Can't remember

I was the guy who managed to get the source from Craig.. Galahad compiled it.. I. Sure he could up it again..

I'm still hassling him for an unreleased AGA version of a released game..

Rob 1 · 06 February 2014, 00:33

Well done stainy! Great effort and a great read

Did you ever tell him about this site and thread and how much it meant to people?

stainy · 26 January 2016, 20:07

I have an update.

Craig tried his A4000 over Christmas and there`s issues with it booting up.
"It has a black screen, the drives whir up and it seems like it's doing its thing but the screen stays black as the HDR lights etc come to a stop

I can reset it with the keyboard and it starts again but nothing seems to change."

He`s going to try and get on here very soon. Hoping someone can help him.
Craig did say there is more stuff on his drives ( More TBE ) hopefully and maybe other things..

Got a reply from Craig. He needs some time to look at his A4000. He has two disks that he wants to see what they contain. He`s ordered A1200 and an accelerator ( coming from German soon ) so hopefully we might get some more stuff. He also says he has an AGA version of a game ( unreleased ) stay tuned..

DamienD · 26 July 2016, 17:59

Could someone please re-upload the one level preview of the CD32 version to The Zone! so that I can take a look?
