Dune 2

[cozmic]

in several topics i found many people saying DUNE 2 doesnt work on any emulator on the gp32. (because of the cyclone bug)


After some research i found out that is DOES work, namely on GENEMU..
(hasnt got the cyclone?)

Only the american nstc version works "Dune - The Building of a Dynasty" and ONLY when converted to SMD...

If this was already posted, please delete... (couldn't fnd such a post myself)

Would be cool
What is the quality of the grafics?

 

[cozmic]

The quality is exellent, abeit a bit dark
No glitches whatsoever.
I'ts kinda dark on a non blu unit.

The game runs a bit slow, but still faster as it ran on a amiga 1200. (@133mhz)

I just played the first 2 missions.
No music or sound.

BTW where in holland do you live?

 

[khephren]

Yep, iv'e been playing it for a while- the graphics are better than the original Amiga version, but it suffers from the lack of a mouse.

 

[aapje89]

got to try that then

gutted now,
im about 70% through a dune 2 mod for GPFW.
doesnt seem as worthwhile now....

of course you should continue, when you are done with it.. It will feel good for you to know that you made a nice mod for the gpfw. So keep working I say

 

[lizard808uk]

Please continue, I don't want to play some half baked version on some old emulator.

ud be better to use the christmas release of fgen if ur finding genemu to dark.

it didnt use cyclone and i think it works with that.

 

[cozmic]

It hasn't got sound AND the sega version has much uglier sprites than the pc version wich you use for the port.


Also: We have no save support and it is darn dark.

Also: the othe genesis emulators are never gonna run dune 2 because of the cyclone bug.

I even if it did you shouldn't stop.

And there is no christmas edition?

PLEASE continue working on this, GPFinalWar has a far more advanced engine than the old Dune2, and I'm not interested in playing the old emulated version but I look forward to yours.

He, you wouldn't compare a native GP32 game with a really slow, without sound emulator???

OF COURSE it is worthwhile

I LOOOOVE Dune 2

Great to hear you're already that far

 

[feddon]

Thanks all thats nice to hear.
It probably wont be finished until the next wargame maker update, because theres currently no infantry animation and 1 or 2 other problems, (mostly cosmetic)
I am ripping sprites from PC version so the it does look fairly good. (i think)
Got most of the graphics ripped just got to finish ordos and do the emperor's
army and sand worms.

Glad you are looking forward to it, i hope it meets your expectations, Ill post some more screenies soon whe i can be arsed.

God so many spelling mistakes

 

[cozmic]

Whew

 

[mATkEUpON]

Sure your Dune2 mod will be better than this crappy old version

And don't worry, I'll get started on a GpFinalWar update when I'm finished with my SmashGp release.

By the way, I think we should work together on the next version of GpFinalWar, I'm sure you have a lot of good ideas, and you'll tell me exactly what you need for infantry animation.

 

[feddon]

yeh good idea,
Ill post on your forum..

 

[khephren]

Yeah, keep on programming! the thing I hated about dune2 was...it finished, and I wanted more of the same. +your version should have native speed,graphics and sound, should be better than an emulated system.

 

[feddon]

to tell you the truth i totally forgot about sound,
should be pretty easy to do. have to change the 70% to mabye 55% done.. :blink:
