Yep my version will never run on OS4 because the sound library 'bangs the hw'

I've removed the link to the original version at the start of this thread as way too many people were getting confused

There was no download link in here, so checked whatever I could get...

When will the other version be available ?

Yup not your fault meynaf, Novacoder simply removed the old exe from undergroundarcade in readiness for his FINAL update!!!
When you do get it, a report in the style of your previous post would be great to see though!

You will see it

I've now upload all the version 1.0.0 exe's to www.underground-arcade.com (eg 030, 040 & 060).

I'll create a special cut-down version for 020's using the original MOD files as I've found that a standard 020 is just not powerful enough to do MIDI + speech & 256 colour VGA.

Next up Sam & Max.....

thank you very much sir! do you intend to improve MOD / SFX mixing compared to my version ? i hope somebody is willing to improve the midi2mod conversion to match your perfect rendering through MIDI interpreter.

good luck with sam&max...

One word: Awesome Thank you for this, it's great on a 50 mhz '030 Plays well, looks good and sounds nice, great, keep up the good work

Any change of this going open source?

Cool, glad you liked it.

Yep it will go open source after I release Sam & Max (I still want to make some improvments).

I have graphic problems... When the main character is moving, I get graphical residue on screen. It is like garbled sprite leftovers from the main character. I am having this problem with OS 3.9 Installed, and in OS 3.1 the problem doesn't exist.

I tried all versions of the game. I am using WinUAE.

WINUAE is not supported, that is why it's called DOTT AGA

If you want to play DOTT on the PC, use the PC version instead.

[nikvest]

It IS working under WinUAE for me, because I have several virtual hard disks. I just wanted to alert you to the problem with newer operating systems, and to confirm this post from Oct.29.2009:

Only some gfx-glitches when figure moved over screen. Sound and sfx without any problems. Save/Load-function works too. Next I'll try it out on my A1200/030.

I think you resolved your own problem.

Actually, ScummVM is great for that, works like a charm on my old 550 mhz PIII with WinXP.

Now finally I can make my bloody report heheh
I promised, didn't I ?
Version tested is 030, on a 030. Yes . Used data files from pbareges' port.

Soooo... let's go :
- Still no vertical screen centering...
- Sometimes sprites aren't correctly turned off -> remains of mouse pointer on the screen (doesn't happen often, but it did).
- Display tearing visible when scrolling. But I can say that anims are, this time, done at right speed !
- Loading time relatively important ; game constantly accesses the disk (perhaps the situation is better on SFS, I put that on FFS for now - if so, the readme could be updated). Okay, this is a pc game
- Still dependent to things such as SystemPatch (as I said, I can help in that area). If you forget SystemPatch and run it on 3.0, you'll see black screen, no error message and no easy way to get outta here (as F10 no longer quits).
- It happened to me that the "pull" command was damaged - perhaps it was the original position of the mouse pointer.
- Freeze after "step one : find plans" in the intro (no "step two - save world") and no means to get out of this apart Esc key. All "Meanwhilst" cut-scenes seem to freeze in a similar way.
- From time to time, something which sounds like random audio garbage can be heard - sounds like bad dma wait to me. Note : small .mus test app you gave to me does the same !
- Old scummvm graphical problem I had is still there : talk to Edna, then to Ed and you will see wrongly displayed texts (bad colors). I can make a grab to show you.

Some remarks :
- Tool types : wouldn't it have been simpler to do "thing" and "(thing)" instrad of "thing=true" and "thing=false", as many other programs do ?
- I wonder why it opens mathieeedoub(bas/trans).library ?
- Why did you write that it "runs best in vga mode" in the readme ? For me it's not valid, because VGA in 320x200 has horribly pixelated display. PAL are much better for this.
- If you do amiga-m, it's like F5 and I don't like this.
- In readme, you wrote "coded 10 Nov 2010". Is it a typo, or did you (or me ?) fall in a time quantum hole ?

Yes, and I think I shouldn't have said anything about the problem on different platform, right?
