CyberBugfiX is for http://aminet.net/package/driver/video/CGX-AGA

Another user has confirmed that CGX-AGA is not compatible with AmiWolf.

Rather AmiWolf is not compatible with CGX-AGA

If does not work with CGX-AGA:

add in tooltype icon "PICASSO=TRUE"

and edit prefs for CyberBugfiX:

Prefs/Env-Archive/CyberGraphX/DISPLAYABLE
Prefs/Env-Archive/CyberGraphX/INTERLEAVED

Does CGX-AGA do anything useful?   Does anybody here use it?

It just looks like a hack to me, it causes issues with all of my ports.

Now also available on OCS/ECS machines that support the EHB 64 color mode :cool:

You'll still need an 030 and some FASTRAM to play though.

Yes that is only 64 colors.


Find the BETA in the EAB Zone.

So it means, I can play that on my A600 with ACA630 25MHz ?!?!?
I got to try this!

Let's see how fast is it.

Edit: First try, does not work fully. I can go as far as loading and then I get black screen instead of the game. I can see the score, ammo etc, but no game.
this is w/o the music files, would it work w/o music files if I disable the sound?

You sir, are a crack monkey!

hiya,

it just means you have the wrong version of the retail game files, there are 3 different versions and AmiWolf only supports one of them.

no you don't need the music files to run, music is disabled by default because it will slow things down a bit.

I'll take that as a compliment :-)

D@mn... now I need to find out what version I have and then find the one that is different...google here I come...

Sorry for the belated feedback.
The version you sent me a week or so ago seems to work flawlessly for me on my a1200+40mhz '040. I couldnt find a single problem or bug, and it's pretty much silky smooth, with the exception of rotating left and right, where there's a slight judder (only noticable though if a person is looking for imperfections).

The one thing I did notice though, is that reducing screensize makes absolutely no difference to framerate, and that "judder" when turning left and right is the same whether it's fullscreen, or a small window).

Yep the other BETA testers notice the mouse movement has a slight judder, it should be a bit better in the release version on AmiNet.

The reduced screen mode was put in for the 030 users as it seems to make it a bit quicker for them.

I think there is still a slight bug with the game save code, trying to figure out what the problem is.

[amiman99]

It looks like I found a problem running the game on my A600.
My A600 is running ClassicWB setup which is running ScalOS. I tried to disable various option but w/o any success. So I booted plain vanilla WB disk, and voila! it works.
I'm not sure if the problem is caused by Scalos or some add ons, but on plain WB, the game works.
At 25MHZ, the speed is OK, it's like playing Doom on 030 50MHz.

Thanks Nova.

excuse my ignorance....

but WHY THE HELL would anyone want to play a game you can download from the internet
with dosbox and play it, all in about 2 minutes of work and for free?
only to see how crap it looks and turn it off?

your a legend mate, but i really think your wasting your time...BIG TIME.

Hiya,

There's a few reasons I spend so much of my free time on these ports.   One reason is that AGA never had much support back-in-the-day and has an unfair reputation of being really slow.   The other reason is that I like to give people a reason to dust off their Amiga's and start using them again, I've even had a few people that have upgraded to 060's specifically to play some of my recent ports.

And finally, I enjoy the coding challenge.   I had a few people tell me that Quake 2 was impossible to do on AGA and even had people comment on my YouTube video's that it was faked and must have been running on a PC.

I was told that it was impossible to get DOTT running on an 030 with SFX and music (my first Amiga port way back in 2009).

Everyone has a right to express their views, regardless of how rude they may be. Out of interest, What do you do with your Amiga time?
