Albion

[M-HT]

Hi,

I finished a new version of Albion for the GP2X.

List of changes:
+ working music (except background effects)
+ volume adjusting during intro video (Vol+ and Vol- buttons)
+ option to set intro volume in config file
+ option to skip intro in config file
* minor bug fixes

Edit: I updated Albion for the GP2X to version beta 2.1 with the following bugfixes:
* fixed a memory leak
* fixed the option to skip intro when the config file is saved with dos/windows line breaks

Albion beta 2.1 on the gp2x archive


To get music you will need to install the timidity instruments by downloading timidity.tar.gz and either:
1) Extract it to the root of your SD card.
or
2) Extract it elsewhere on your SD card,
then copy timidity.cfg to the albion directory and add this line at the start
dir /mnt/sd/path/to/timidity/
where path/to/timidity/ is the path to the timidity directory on your SD card.

Great work! Finally have background music.

Very impressed on how far you have taken this.

Keep it up, and thanks.

Works like a charm, thank you

Me too.
Sound and music were not even originally planned - I didn't know whether it was possible (with my approach) and if yes then if albion would be playable (speedwise) with sound and music.

Works like a charm, thank you

Glad to hear it.

Awesome, can't wait to try it out.

 

[Tobriand]

Fantastic... I'll definitely be playing this over the summer .

I'm having a little trouble getting it working, but I'll really dig in a bit this weekend and see if I can suss it out. I must be doing something stupid.

Amazing, incredible! Is this completable? Has anyone completed it using this version?

It should be completable.
And if someone did complete it using this version, I would also like to know.

Great work M-HT , this is an astonishingly good port.

Has anyone created a gmenu icon for this yet?

Thanks M-HT, great work on this old goodie

It doesn't seem to work for me
It loads, the intro plays, but when I try to play the game it cuts out and returns to the main screen of the gp2x. Am I forgetting something like DosBox?

Can you check if the file ERROR.LOG was created in the main directory. If it was, can you post the content?
