OpenBOR - The 2D Side Scrolling Engine Ported to Classic Amiga !

@Niding

It seems fiddly to get running. I keep getting a 'Mixer' Error when it initially tries to load and then most games complain about missing files/fonts etc :-(

I am the author of this port. Did you provide a .PAK file ?

[lantus360]

Yes, BOR, He-man, Final Fight X, SFFGold and FF Alpha are all under test ;-)

BOH gets the furthest but I still have to Suspend "MixerThread" to progress to the menu screen!

can you provide more information on

- what Amiga you are running. all specs please
- did you extract the .PAK files ?
- what command line arguments you are using to launch the games

[lantus360]

Yes, I extracted the .PAK files on Windows as you guided.

All games launch with ...
Games:Beat_Em_Ups/BOR OpenBOR PAKS/HEMAN

... for example. But they fail with errors about missing Fonts in the case of He-Man. And they ALL have issues with MixerThread failing and needing suspending.

I have a A4000T 060/50 with a Picasso IV with 104MB of Fast Ram and I've even tried the -cgx extention to utilise RTG modes on HE-MAN! Oh yeah, Boing Bags 1 & 2 on OS 3.9 ;-)

F10 does still quit to Workbench despite the screen going black for BOR after the menu. Up and down seem unresponsive on the menu both the arrow keys and joystick!

some questions

- are you using a 2 button joypad/stick..plugged into Port 2?
- is the MixerThread error after exiting?
- do you have AHI installed and configured?

[lantus360]

Yes, Competition Pro CD32 pad in Port 2
MixerThread error is on launching the game
AHI is installed

The menu screen does look nice but the only keys that work are Return and F10 and the GamePad doesn't do anything!

oh hrm..cd32 pad may not work, i need to look at that..do you have another 2 button genesis/megadrive pad
can you show me the command line arg you are using to launch?

also can you set a stack size of 20000  if you havent already?

[lantus360]

yes it will work fine. I would just set Paula 8 Bit Fast Audio

for cd32 support. can you try this beta version and see if it works?

just run OpenBOR.exe with the same arguments as before

[lantus360]

try deleting the files out of the /Saves folder and retrying

and yeah set a stack of 20000 if you dont use stackattack or something similar
