Another World

[loki666]

mmh eric chahi dont seems toanswer tm my email... maybe the adress i found was wrong
DJWillis: could you ask to cyx eric's email? or maybe just ask him if we can release something on gp32...
i think what he did is totally legal (refer to ScummVM), but he abandoned the project only because he dont want to comprise eric's plan. an opensource engine would ruin any comercial re-release of another wolrd. all we have to know is on what platform the release is targetted, and i dont believe it could be the gp32

edit: forget this... i got an answer form eric chahi... here is his email (sorry its in french)

Ah ! La GP32 ! Un ami m'en avait parlé il y a qq mois. C'est clair cette
console est peu connue, mais elle a l'air bien sympathique !
Au risque de passer (encore) pour un rabat-joie, je vais te demander de
patienter avant de diffuser quoique ce soit.
En ce moment j'étudie pas mal de chose au sujet d'Another World, d'une
recommercialisation éventuelle sur consoles portables (dont la GP32 ).

Donc pas de panique rien n'est décidé.
De toute façon quitte à diffuser qq chose, je souhaiterais que cela soit une
version complète, bien finie, avec le son, etc... Ce qui n'est pas le cas
actuellement (c'est pas un reproche !). Si A.W. doit être diffuser en
freeware alors j'aimerais autant que les choses soit faites au mieux, et
dans ce cas je pourrais apporter personnellement un support pour le
développement, en donnant un max d'info technique, les banks les plus
récentes...
Mais pour l'instant j'ai pas mal de points à voir (juridique, éditoriaux...)

in brief, it says we have to wait, because gp32 is a possible target for a re-release.
but if not, he will help us with everything we need to have a full-working A.W. on gp32

Great news! )))

So, if somebody has already compiled A.W for the GP32 can contact Eric and give the community this masterpiece of work!

Thanks loki for this news

Waitin' for an FXE,

Use WinUAE (an Amiga emulator) to play it, As its probably a better version anyway. Oh, And Google is your friend. :rolleyes:

Well I downloaded it, and the ROM, the emulator keeps on crashing. I just deleted it all...probably not worth it anyways.

I'm playing raw 0.1.1 and also the unofficial GBA version and they both play just like the original - like a dream. You owe it to yourself to play this game.

Yep. the GBA uofficial version runs well on the GBA hardware too... Imagine it running on a 320x240 lcd instead of a 240x160 B)

It rocks!

Later,
Alessandro

 

[stickofjoy]

Imagine running it at 640x400 on a Mac/PC.

[loki666]
