[Dead1nside]

Thanks for porting this, I'm going to spend many hours playing this when I get my Pandora.

you can easily find it in google or at the Underdogs but you should find it on eBay or something.

Doesnt Good Ol' Games sell this?

Nup.. Might be worth requesting it though =)

damn, that's a real timekiller. only 10 more minutes...


btw. beta6 is out now, any chances the port will be updated to?

Is this game in the same format as the games on this website because I'd like for these to be ported to the Pandora if they are.

No source code, no port. No exceptions!

The guy who made the games on that website is nice. I'm sure he would give someone the source code to them if they asked for it. Just take a look at Cave Story.

You can try, if you think your letter through carefully. Just remember that Pixel authorized the GP2X port because he owns a GP2X.

Updated to Beta 6, on file library.

 

[juliano]

occasionally had a timing error which asked me (in game) if I wanted it to recover yes always worked, and I had one doctor just freeze so I fired him and he didnt move anywhere

Same thing here. If you select no everything freezes.


Otherwise it works perfectly.


Thanks for this port. It is really fun to play this game on pandora.

 

[Wally]

Just updated the PND on the Repo to Beta 8.


* Updated to Beta 8


* Changed SDL Video engine to omapdss


* Reconfigured config.txt defaults so they match Pandora res.


I suggest installing Sebt3's Timidity package for full game experience.

Great work by the way on porting this! Now for the bugs...


Graphically, it is flickering badly. Also the nubs dont seem to do anything in this version. Think I'll roll back to previous version for the moment.


I'm on HF7B1 for what its worth.

 

[Wally]

Working fine for me :/ (i'm on HF7 Beta 1 myself) with no troubles.


Please ensure nothing but the Theme Hospital original game files exist in the app data directory as:


1) I did previously mention that you had to copy the LUA stuff in there but its not neccessary (and never was lol)


2) The config file may cause some issues as I changed some default settings to ensured it generated with the pandora res at first boot etc.


Let me know if it still fails

Ahoy Wally,


Just got 'round to trying Corsix-TH this morning. Works beautifully, thanks for the great port... no flickering for me. HOWEVER, I couldn't get the PND to launch normally, I had to use pnd_run.sh to mount it, and then manually run the binary file myself.


Something in your lua script is borking up for me:

An error has occurred in CorsixTH:

./CorsixTH.lua:199: Cannot initialise SDL

stack traceback:

	[C]: in function 'assert'

	./CorsixTH.lua:119: in main chunk

	[C]: ?

bootstrap.cpp:46: Unable to initialise video

you running HF7 Beta 1? ? As this is using Notazs SDL

 

[gadgetoid]

D'oh. No. I shall download Notaz SDL.

 

[Jonney]

I'm also having the flickering issue. I also noticed that the nubs don't work anymore.

 

[Wally]

Hi guys,


I didn't really have much time to look into this issue today..


I know what it is, its something to do with Notaz SDL (confirmed by another build of the game however the PND was refusing to show up in the menu after I recompiled :/


Should be fixed tomorrow

 

[mcobit]

Notaz SDL doesn't support the nubs as mouse. I have no clue why. But the touchscreen events are scaled with the picture now.


So it seems to be down to no scaling->nubmouse or scaling->touchscreen only.

 

[milkshake]

yes nubs dont work, neither will a mouse with current versions of NOTAZ sdl i have mentioned this to him, I dont know wether or not this will be addressed.
