Menace - HD Tech Demo - Vampire Remake

[Daedalus]

If you want 16-bit audio, why not just use AHI? Then people with any 16-bit-capable hardware can get the full quality, and people with Paula audio get a reduced quality version automatically without the game code having to make extra allowances or dropping it entirely.

We will extend the design of the game to have a limited audio eg not 16bit for say V1200's. We do value everyone who has supported the Vampire platform but as you can imagine we want to push the platform as much as possible without loosing people who has supported the Vampire dream in the early days.

Thanks for the news. Looking forward to seeing the results. Awesome work!

Seconded and as before, thanks - this is a much more positive response than we have been getting on the Apollo Forums.

Obviously congratulations to little ERNE for the work done.
A couple of questions:
1) Could it work on V1200?


Yes, in fact we discussed this with the V2 users in our Discord channel.
Yes with three changes the Apollo Menace game can also run on all V2 cards too. This means it can run on V500, V600 and V1200.

1) The audio quality for the V2 version would not of course not be 16bit as on the V4.
2) The V4 cards support up to 4 joysticks, will support 3 player mode. The V2 will only support 2 players
3) The V2 card will need to reload from disk between intro and levels, while the V4 can preload and not need reload in game.

Tried to get Sonic https://artishq.wordpress.com/2021/0...amped-12-pack/ working via WinUAE but no joy.

How did you get it working on a non-Vampire system? I thought this port uses “AMMX” and “SAGA” that only the Vampire have?
