Hi guys,

thanks for yours responds.

I will try to find 5V EDO DIMMS for my Sonnet card and
also some Voodoo 3 gfx card later.

Got ppc-morphos-gcc 2.95.3 spitting out WarpOS executables. This was more a proof of concept. Looking at 4.4.5/5.3.0 next.

Hopefully will help some of the porting in the future.

Been working on testing stuff for the new (old) WarpOS version of SDL that Hedeon got working. Here's something that only sort of works with bad stuttery sound. With cycles=1500 it's actually working alright.

Wow! Great work!

I can make movies or I can test.... Did someone ask if this worked? Maybe the copy I found has some problem it says it can't save my settings or make save games.... Maybe I need to install it? But no sound right now, and it's not really fast.

So my dream of playing Warcraft II on the Amiga (at a decent speed) might actually come true??!

Hedeon · 26 October 2017, 23:25

Ah... The game that made me move to PC (moo2) :-D

Warcraft 2 runs perfectly fine on Shapeshifter. I played the whole campaign that way. But anyway maybe I have that laying around here somewhere.

Do you have stuff like Doom or Tomb Raider to test? Tomb Raider in Pc-Task on an 80mhz 060 manages about 2 or 3 fps.

I thought I had doom but it doesn't launch something about can't determine version. Keep in mind we didn't get OpenGL in the SDL driver and don't know if that's really possible (I think it's possible but hard and way above my head). So Tomb Raider would be running in software mode.

But I've started Space Quest 5 with sound effects and music running and it plays ok-but that's kinda not really impressive since that's in ScummVM.

Call of Cthulhu looks like it plays fine with sound and music. Archon Deluxe seems fine.

I'm having a mouse issue where it either boxes the mouse input to small area in the middle of the screen-don't know what that's about yet. Some games it's not a problem, others it is.

Joystick support I don't know what's going on with, I can map joystick buttons but not the axis-haven't played around with it that much.

Isn't anyone going to ask?

Yes, all you have to do is meet Hedeon at the Amiga32 event in Neuss and drop a 20-Euro note in his hand and he'll give you 4 floppies with it and your certificate of authenticity.

It's not all that amazing, this needs someone smart like Cowcat to look at it and fix the threading or the sound juggling. I can set like 13000 cycles and Master of Orion seems pretty snappy. But for sound to work without skipping I have to set 1500 cycles. Maybe reducing the sound rate will make it work with higher cycles-I dunno. Also Timidity isn't working which I imagine might be faster for Midi support than the soundblaster emulation at least that's what I'm imagining.

That is definitely worth it, I want that floppies now

Also buy him a beer, I think he likes beer. Send me an email and I'll send a link.

Unfortunately Doom is a slideshow even with sound off I'd guess like 2-4 fps. Something just ain't right with that, the scalers like rgb2x which gives a nice scanline look of CRTs or sai2x don't really seem to slow down the games that work well that are scaled and processed at 640x480.
