Heya Odin, yeah I'm still alive.
How are you ?

About the HellChess version, I just updated the archive coz there were some problems running the ECS/AGA version. It's also now ignoring a unable to open sound message if people are using AHI.

Colours will be displayed wrongly on Voodoo3 cards and alikes so I'll have to look into that.

Cheers!

Actually it was really slow coz I simply forgot to enable my chunky2planar routines.

A new version will be available soon, including the PPC compile.. Don't give up hope just yet!

I want to agree with you!
Writing software specificly for the Amiga is the best way to go amiga wise, using the best out of the hardware available.

There is a huge BUT to this though, how many people are you targetting ? Less than 5% of the whole computer community. Besides, the Amiga is strong enough the handle the direct port of the Windows version, and aiming at a 200 MHz machine is really not asking alot these days. Currently this means you'll need the PPC and hey,.. we happen to have one.

Nevertheless I agree it performs like {bleep} on my 040 aswell and I was dissapointed 2. Therefor I will try to make a lite version using more amiga specific parts.

Cheers!
