I don't understand this then:

That was stupid/silly bug on test source. I checked again source and again and make new source and found that I calculated wrong height of sprite .

Hello,

Short info:

I fixed silly bug in firing sprite. Sprite data for firing were not aligned ( starts from odd address - but on WinUAE it works ). Now firing appear when player shooting.

Great work Asman - keep it up!

I think full version of Psycheual was released on PSX as Psychon.

Asman thinks that too : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=648685#post648685

Hmm.. For some reason sprite DMA address bit 0 masking has disappeared in some WinUAE version. Perhaps some copy&paste mistake or something..

Thanks for info. My first thought when I launch Psycheual on WinUAE was: Probably I did something wrong in configuration of WinUAE. The second thought was: For sure I did something wrong.

Hello

I found some time and next beta/alpha version of the Psycheual is done. Of course there is many things still to do. I will continue work on this game. New version ( v0.1 ) in the zone. Short information.

1. fixed sprite blinking problem
2. added missing samples ( clack, shotgun, autoelecgun, machinegun ) and replaced other with better quality ( rifle, globe ). So executable grow up a bit . Samples extracted and converted to the 8svx ( 22050 hz ) from psx version.

I extracted also gfx from psx version but its useless ( conversion to the 32 colours loose to many pixels ). Maybe in future when I will make AGA version then will be possible to switch between gfx ( sfx too ).

Enjoy.

Edit: Any comments are welcome.
Regards

Just found this game by chance.
Actually I first found the sourcecode and then took a look if I can find the game somewhere.

Stellar work Asman, thanks!
Because of the exe's size, to put in on an adf I had to use shrinkler, or FFS instead of OFS. But it still fits

Are there any updates?
As far as I can tell the v0.1 already plays very good (just tried it in winuae).
