my-sa-ruba ! or whatever he says... er wait.. maybe im thinking of "Out Of This World" lol.

Re: [Maemo 5] Flashback port
 

I've compiled Out of this World too, but the game asks for the password at start and I can't pass it.
Trying Hear of the Alien right now :)

Good work dude! is that 3 games you ported over in a day?????

Just getting the game files for this now! cant wait to try it. It's one of the first games I remember playing!

Re: [Maemo 5] Flashback port
 

- Another world asks for the password at startup, and the engine doesn't crack it :(
- Heart of the Aliens is working, but is scaled to 608x384 (or something like that). I'm trying to make it fullscreen.

3 games in a day? Nop, a lot more, cause SDL games is very easy to port. The problem is when you try to hack something.
Also I've compiled this:

- Rise of the triads: works fine in 640x480, trying to make it 800x480.
- Red Alert: working fine in 800x480, needs to fix mouse buttons
- Abuse: needs... I don't remember.. maybe I'll make the package soon
- Quake2 is already in extras-testing
- Alien Blaster too...
- Opentyrian too...

oooooh! looking forward to red alert!!! Hope you manage to get the mouse fix soon! Seen a version mentioned on the forums before but apparently that has issues with telsa coils which would be no good for me!

SDL games are only easy to port if you have a clue what ya doing! I wouldn't know where to begin! Only just getting into linux since getting this phone but I'm learning!

Re: [Maemo 5] Flashback port
 

really sorry if this is a silly noob question but where to get the data files for this game ?

Re: [Maemo 5] Flashback port
 

From the original game files... (if you have a copy of the game for the pc)

Re: [Maemo 5] Flashback port
 

or an abandonware site, or a warez site
hope I don't violate any rule with this...
