Doing arcade ports by hand is an utter utter pain in the rear quarters, but as you say, immensely satisfying when a game mechanic is Amigafield!

Thanks Acidbottle, I confirm trying to recreate all aspects of a game as faithfully as possible is my goal, and trying to understand it through gameplay or playing directly from the mame is not always so easy. I usually play it, record the video and then frame by frame I try to understand something. Sometimes successful, sometimes not. IM76 has created really perfect mods for Trojan, and it's comforting to have such a talented musician willing to help me. Multichannel music from (5-6 channels or more) has been converted with maximum quality to the Amiga format, and takes up a lot of chipram, but it's worth it given the fantastic result. Of course in the case of 4-channel music tracks when the game sounds are played something is momentarily lost, but I think you can't expect more than that. If then in the future the S.E. will support a routine with more than 4 channels, it will be possible to improve the audio more, but for now that's okay.
