Ok I've just uploaded this to AmiNet.
I couldn't get it to run as fast as I was aiming for. The render pipeline in Descent Rebirth is not built to run quickly on low end systems, I've done some improvements but I think it would take me ages to get it running at a good speed so I'm calling it a day with this port. I've also uploaded my full source code to AmiNet so maybe someone else can make it faster.

I was always a bit disappointed with the speed of this port so I've just released an update to AmiNet (V0.57.3.003).
New features:
It's now a lot nicer to play on my 060 and also seems less buggy than before (touch wood).....it's still not exactly fast though I'll try and do a upload a video when I get the chance. |

Hi Nova,
i have tried it with Descebt 1 Files but after the briefing when you see the info about the class1 drone, the game crashes every time. Any knowledge about this problem? Last edited by Foxman; 20 January 2014 at 20:21. |

To be honest, I wouldn't bother to play this port yet because it's still a little slow. I'll try and find the time to tune it up a bit more one of these days |

Have you tried skipping the briefing? Are you using the shareware or full game files? It's possible that it only works properly with the full game data files (I never tried it with the shareware data) Last edited by NovaCoder; 21 July 2017 at 06:30. |

Thankyou Nova - for still answering after a couple of years and still had the correct answer (though a fix for the crash after briefing possible?) |

Super smooth. What’s your setup to get those results?

I read this in the "D1X_Rebirth.readme" file, so want to use the Mac files:

After launching I get these screens: ...but then only this, and can't proceed: Any ideas? |

Ok, I get further by pressing <ESC> and the <Enter>
No text on these screens though: ...and no SoundFX Finally, I can't change resolution as the Menu text isn't displayed. |

Oh, if anyone wants to try and see if they can work it out... Mac files now in The Zone!
The full .BIN & .CUE and other files can be downloaded here: Macintosh Garden |

I'm thinking the missing text has to be a font issue or something.
Loaded "Basilisk II", I can't see any custom Descent fonts though... I then started the "D1X_Rebirth" port and also ran with SnoopDOS, but nothing about missing fonts (ignore the horrible screen resolution): |

Well the PC version is running great with music
Real shame that I can't get the MAC version running properly; I really wanted to try: Quote:

@Nova; does your "D1X_Rebirth" port also run Descent 2?
