Street Fighter 2 Remake for Amiga

[fishy_fiz]

Hi everyone. Ive been tinkering away on a remake of SF2 for amiga, partly for fun, partly 'cos the Amiga versions that do exists, arent as good as they should be (although ssf2 played pretty well). Just wondering what people would consider a better idea, all out attempt at recreating the arcade machine, with no real concern given to hardware requirements (060/uae/etc only effectivelymost probably), or to make a few compromises on sprite colors, scrolling, etc. so that it'll work on a more modestly specced machine ? I actually have a few screenshots of its current incarnation on a flash drive I bought with me to work, but it seems Imageshack wont let me post iff pictures, so I'll post them later when I get the chance to convert the images to png. Shame, its coming out very nicely and I wanted to show some people   Anyway, thanks for any feedback everyone.

How much would you have to sacrifice for an 030 AGA version?

I always wondered what a game targeted at the 030 would be like.

mate what your doing is great. but in reality people who still play SF2 will play it on a PC or MAC with MAME.
And an arcade joystick.

The only problem the Amiga version had was that the game only used 1 button....
while the arcade has 6.

it was a great conversion otherwise.

But some people would think it was cool to play it on Amiga!

Having a decent sf2 on miggy, even at this time and age, would be uber cool. I believe 030+AGA+4mb would be minimum (shadow fighter proved that it's possible even on an A500, but let's be more realistic) and as for the control scheme, there's always keyboard and cd32 pads (native or via the psx adapter). If the user can redefine the keys on the keyboard and the pad to fit his needs, all the better. Can't wait for the screenshots!

u cant play fighting games on a keyboard!! LOL x100000000

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

thats the funniest thing ever... :lol:  :crazy:

I always played Karateka with a keyboard.

I'd target AGA with an 030  :-)

And a CD32 joypad!

SSF2-AGA plays good - Hows about disassembling SSF2-AGA.
I altered the ingame backdrops but id realy like to know how much slowdown you would get from bigger backdrops and sprites.

Traget of 030 25 mhtz or better and 4 megs fast ram, 2 meg chip.

This should be a common config thesedays since whdload seems so popular.

A friend of mine thought the same as you, and thought he was good at fighting games, though he had to rethink after I've beaten him countless of times with various fightgames.

I have always played sf2 on mame with keyboard and play as well as with pad. Sometimes better with keyboard, so your claim is nonsense.

Cool idea, but lets have a reality check,

are you yourself going to code SF2 clone from scratch on the Amiga? Nothing is impossible since the Minimig was made but keep in mind, what would you want to sacrifice more than a year to, a fully working A500 clone or a clone of SF2 that is as good as it already is on MAME?

OCS version please. Maybe with 1 MB.  ;-)
