That's incredibly cool

[DamienD]

Guys, can we please keep this thread about "Rygar" and not CPS2 --> xxx conversions?

If you want to continue talking about CPS2 conversions then I'll move all your post to another thread...

Edit: done and moved to this thread: Arcade / Console --> Amiga conversion discussions

Can you upload somewhere else so we can all see?

Personally I find Image Upload quite a good image hosting site

Hi DamienD, see attachment (while still fine tuning it is closer)

[dlfrsilver]

It's fabulous ! the graphics are as good in 64 colors as the coin-op !!! wow !

[invent]

Thanks dlfrsilver. We use 48 colours out of the 64, the last 8(16) colours are used for parallax background.

Almost all shades have been reserved, that is we haven't flattened two are more shades into one colour.
To optimise further we may do a few other tricks, changing palette per level to further enhance conversion.

These look amazing!
Is the 48 including colours for the player and enemies?

[invent]

Hi Roondar, yes includes player

[Jack Burton]

Good job, it looks very nice in 64 colors !

But if you guys use 64 colors, will it be possible to display the same amount of sprites/bobs as shown in this old version of Rygar without reducing the framerate (go to 37 sec): [ Show youtube player ]

Ho, and now that the number of color got increased, will the original background tiles could be used instead of the actual one ?

[sandruzzo]

64 colors enemies!

this is superb !!! @Jack Burton : nope, the original arcade tiles use more than 350 colors.
the OCS ECS amiga just can't support that.

[sandruzzo]

Now, I'm going to convert gfx into interleaved map. We can squeeze a little bit more power our of Amiga!

[dlfrsilver]

ah so great !!!

I already know that.

I was refering to the mountain (and the lake) tiles in the first level. Replacing the mountains with the (eventually color reduced) originals ones would make Rygar conversion really faithful to the arcade original...
