Yeah it works for me on 3.2.1 on a different setup, so its probably my end, just got to figure out what the problem is.

Hey BSzili,

Thanks for this awesome port, it runs great in WinUAE; like the rest of your cool ports

Two small niggles if I may:

1) I use AHI for the sound effects and Midi for the music. For AHI I've obviously set "FXDevice = 8" and "ReverseStereo = 1" in the .CFG file.

After playing though, "FXDevice = 8" always get reset back to "FXDevice = 0".

It's no big deal, I've just made the .CFG file read-only

2) I'm using the GOG version of "Duke Nukem 3D - Atomic Edition". For some reason I get the message "Demo demo1.dmo is of an incompatible version (117)" and the cool demos don't play.

Even tried extracting them again from the .GRP file.

With NovaCoder's AmiDuke port, these work fine with the same game version above. Also, you don't even need to have "demo1.dmo", "demo2.dmo" and "demo3.dmo" in the gamedir. They just run from the .GRP file.

Not sure if you could take a look and fix / implement this?

BSzili · 30 January 2022, 18:42

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into why FXDevice reverts. The demo files from the original game are not compatible.

edit: I found the cause, the sound init function always set FXDevice to 0, so I got rid of this. It will be fixed in the next version.

thx a lot BSZili!

Getting a consistent 20-30fps using a TF1260 at 100mhz. If I'm really honest, compared to Apollo1260, it's only a slight difference. Still lovely to play though. Got further than ever before (I never completed back in the 90s).

Thanks again BSzili really appreciate the work.

Network play also work 100% and it is really fun. Duke maps works very even with 2 players multiplayer.

BSzili · 26 March 2022, 07:18

The new version is up on Aminet that should fix all of the stack issues. For other relevant changes, see the changelog at the end of the readme. Many thanks to bebbo for finding a race condition in the libnix stack swap code.

utri007 · 06 April 2022, 23:14

Thanks! Most reliable and fast! Only few levels left to play.

BSzili · 09 April 2022, 09:24

Thanks for the donation! Now that a recap gave my machine a new lease on life, I'll probably celebrate Easter with some Build FPS

Porting Build games needs different amount of work and lots of work required every game? Much more complex than Doom?

There are still some games which would be "nice to have", like Witchaven I & II, World War II GI. Any plans about these?

BSzili · 09 April 2022, 17:46

It depends on the game. WWII GI uses an enhanced version of the Duke3D engine. I think EDuke 2.1 can run it, at least that's what the Raze team used to add NAM and WWIIGI compatibility. I would have to compare it with the original 1.5 source release and hand pick all the new features.
JonoF has a "no effort" port of Witchaven, so that should be easier, but I have no idea what state that port is in. It might still be in an early stage of development.

How did you get to use the midi music? I have tried everything and got nowhere. I have CAMD up and running.

There's not much to it, for me it worked out of the box both on real hardware and WinAUE. Could you attach your duke3d.cfg and duke3d.log?

Here is my log & CFG. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but I do have the OGG files but I renamed the folder so not to load them but no sound.

BSzili · 16 April 2022, 06:02

It seems like you are using a different Duke3D port (AmiDuke maybe?). I don't blame you as there are 3 of them. This is the one I did:

Well fuuuuu I have 2 ports installed as I was testing them and I have obviously got confused lol. let me test yours this time shall I lol

-edit-
Yeah I can confirm that if you use the right port it does indeed work

I did some comparisons for WW2GI and NAM based on EDuke, and it's more complicated than I thought. Not only they need the EDuke enhancements, but both games have their game-specific hacks on top of that. Basically this would mean starting from scratch for these two.

Bad! Now I have almost played SW, Blood and Duke 3D through. I have only three levels to play Duke 3D episode four. Though would 20th Anniversary Edition's fifth episode work? Maybe I really should play next Power slave Exhumed?

BSzili · 07 June 2022, 06:19

The Alien World Order episode won't work, but you should be able to play Duke It Out In DC and Duke Caribbean.
