Project-X DOS version

Retroplay · 11 August 2007, 22:57

I just got a hold on the MS-DOS version of this Amiga classic.
It's not half bad as I thought the DOS port would be.
If anybody want it I could up it to the zone.

[edit]
Zoned.

Classic

Thanks Retroplay!

Yeah, Team 17s PC port aren't that shabby. Superfrog isn't that bad of a port either but the Amiga version is of course better.

Retroplay · 12 August 2007, 20:38

No doubt about the Amiga version is better.
Btw I had some trouble getting the zoned version to work properly in DOSXbox (Xbox port).
But I have another version that do work in DOSXbox.
I zone that just in case.
Btw Overdrive isn't that bad either.

Found yet another great Team17 DOS game.
World Rally Fever, reminds me of Powerdrift.
Works with DOSBox 0.71, couldn't get it to work in DOSXbox.

Thanks!!!

BTW, nice C64 speed runs!

keropi · 17 August 2007, 09:28

there are many great pc titles of the time, that infact are equal or better to amiga games...
one that comes in mind is Apogee's Realms of Chaos...

Retroplay · 17 August 2007, 21:22

There sure is.
I actually dug up Super Star Wars too, I had totally forgotten that existed for PC.
A very nice SNES conversion.

Wasn't that port canceled?

Where did you get it from?

Oh look, it's still there: Super Star Wars

Retro-Nerd · 18 August 2007, 19:25

Yep, wasn't released for the PC, but very close to a final version.

Just downloaded it (from UDs) and gave it a try with DOSBox. Sounded great, but once I got into the game it looked like I was getting massive frameskips though the counter said frameskip 0. Not sure what was going on there, maybe the default DOSBox setting wasn't right for this game. I hope it's not supposed to be that jerky.

Tried Project X too- is there supposed to be no music?

DosBox' automatic core and cycles detection fails with the game, use "core=dynamic" and "cycles=20000" instead and the game will run smoothly.

That did it, thanks. This game is fast and furious, that's for sure. I'll have to fire up the SNES version for comparison.

Oh, and never mind the Project X question. I got music by overriding the sound setting with the G setting (for Gravis Ultrasound). I suppose I could have run the sound settings program for similar effect.

Anubis · 21 August 2007, 14:55

Qun Mang,

tru reducing cycle count (Ctrl + F11 if I remember correctly), as at 20K game might run a bit too fast.

DamienD, thank you sir! You're so kind!

derSammler · 21 August 2007, 15:00

The game can not run too fast, as it's timer-based.

It always runs at the same speed, just with more or less frames.

Qun Mang · 22 August 2007, 03:01

Well, considering the liberal amount of health dropped by the enemies, fast and furious is probably correct. The SNES version seems just as fast, but enemies seem to be fewer.
