Day of the Tentacle AGA
Hi,
Just to let you guys now that I'm nearly ready to release a BETA of my updated port of DOTT. It's based on an ALPHA release of SCUMMVM (v0.38.2), the work done by P. Barèges and bits of the latest SCUMMVM release (v0.13.1). This has been coded on WINUAE and a real Amiga 1200 My done list:
When it's ready it will need a few beta testers, any volunteers? If I get the time........I may also release SAM & MAX for AGA machines because it uses the same basic engine Last edited by NovaCoder; 05 November 2009 at 00:46. |

Sounds great!
But why do this if you can use ScummVM? Just curious |

Yep, should be ready to release a BETA soon.
Update: I've just tested it with the CDROM'S 262MB sfx file on my 1200 and it doesn't run out of memory |

If you mean the latest version of ScummVM, then it hasn't been ported to classics (yet). If you mean the old AGA versions, they only support AHI which my system really struggles with.

This is great news! I always wanted to see DOTT on the Amiga I'm looking forward to hearing how the music will sound when it's working! For the PC version i always preferred Roland and GM music compared to the crap Sound Blaster/Adlib FM music.... and i know the Amiga sounds much better than an old Soundblaster/Adlib card

sounds cool. Although i'm confused by the need for the 16-channel sound library if there is no music?
Is the trouble with making a 4-channel version the music conversion to mod? i'm interested, as I might be able to help with that. (I havent heard the originals yet though!) i would have though speech/sfx would be fine on 4-channels, if you then use CD-audio for the music instead... although that is not ideal. does sfx/speech really need more than one channel? could it be written that you have 4-channel music written, with one channel allocated to "mute" when sfx/speech come in, like happens with Xenon 2? i guess i'm an idealist, and i'll love to see a "genuine" classic amiga version |

Hiya Horace,
I'm currently aiming to have 1 channel for speech, 1 for sound effects and then 16 (simulated) for the music. The music is proving to be a little tricky as the originals are MIDI files so I need to do some conversion work to get them to play. |

Although there may be a standard 16 channels for .mid files, they clearly arent all used most of the time, and I wouldnt see a 4-channel conversion (in some cases lower!) being that difficult, just that it would take a lot of time to do all of them. Style-wise, it would likely end up a lot like Monkey Island 2. just my thoughts! |
