DOTT AGA playable on a 1200 030/50 mhz? - Page 3

BRILLIANT!

ALL of the issues that I experienced are now resolved with both the 030 and 060 executable on my 060 machine.

The only graphical glitch I see is maybe 1cm top part of the screen seems to tear when screen scrolls.

Whether this is my screen/indivision of the exe I dont know. It occurs on both .EXEs

Thanks again Novacoder ..... Now for sounds lol

Cool, yep I get that same little glitch on my 030....I'll have to see if I can fix it sometime.

Anyway, yep....next up, sound!

Novacoder, I forgot I dont have an Indivision in my 030 A1200. Any way of running your exe on a native AGA screen?

NovaCoder · 31 August 2009, 01:22

Yep, it doesn't need a Indivision to run at all.

Using the MultiSync+VGA drivers it will run on a most older CRT monitors using a simple RGB to VGA adapter (ie no scan-doubler required), this is quite rare as most games just run in PAL 50hz mode. Of course you could also use RGB to SCART and plug it into a TV.

Another way to run it is to swap the MultiSync & VGA drivers for the basic NTSC driver and run it plugged into a TV using the composite cable (although it won't look as good of course).

Nice one! Ran it on my 030 @ 50mhz system using CWB Adv and PAL output.
Silky smooth nad text just at the right speed. No crashes so far (2hrs gameplay).
Noticable tearing along top inch of screen when scrolloing.
Definitely get the impression that there is power left in the tank for sounds...

Yep should be enough left for some decent SFX.

I've got somewhere with that tear along the top of the screen....almost cracked it.

Thank you Novacoder, the french version of the game is working

NovaCoder · 01 September 2009, 05:29

It's still very much a work in progress but I'm glad you're having fun....

NovaCoder · 01 September 2009, 14:00

Ok, this will be the last release for awhile as I get to work on the SFX.

It's still not perfect on my system but to make it any better would mean some big changes to the underlying engine.

To all those on this thread that doubted a humble 030 could do MIDI/Full speech/SFX and display a 256 colour VGA game....DOTT
