Has anyone checked out RCR new dos port on the pandora?

[LuSimon]

It looks really really cool and it is free for anyone already owning Retro City Rampage on GOG or Steam:

Is it out yet?

Edit: Apparently so: http://www.retrocityrampage.com/msdos_retail.php

Also a Linux port, probably binary only though.

Looks likes the MS-DOS version IS out. I checked my Steam folder and there is a zip file with the MS-DOS version in the game folder.... Going to try it out on the Pandora now.

EDIT: yes it works well.

EDIT2: maybe a little sluggish in places, compared to videos of it on Youtube, but very playable.

Very honorable, the Dev of that game really has some serious talent. I was already impressed with his NES Version of RCR. Now he squeezed the entire game onto a single 3,5" Diskette and it runs on a 486 DOS PC.

I wish that more modern retro games would be that optimized so we also could play 2D games like "Shovel Knight" or "FTL" on the Pandora.

I also have RCR on Steam, seems like i have to try dis out


Dos this also work on Qumenu??


Retro City Rampage on Pandora, this should be awesome

Qemu? most likely, but performance will be worse than DOSBOX.

 

[matzesu]

There was a non-free version of dosbox?


I usually use: http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=dosbox.pickle


it's fairly straight forward... you put games in the pandora/appdata/dosbox/games directory. If you use the dosbox with DboxFE launcher you get a gui that you can change some settings, default usually works well enough. So you launch and you get a DOS command line. You just need to CD into the folder you have RCR installed and type RCR which is the executable to launch the game...


I've never used CB/Streak version of DOSBOX, I find it overly convoluted when you all you need is a command prompt.

I have to try it out, first i need to update my Steam Game to RCR DX


Which will cost about one hour


Wobei: steam needs to update now and it seems like its a lot MB..

 

[NoeleyC]

Has anyone tried the NES version or is that not available separately to the main game?

 

[matzesu]

A shame there isnt any GBA Version, i would like to play it on my Revo


Steam is now about to load the Update, so it should be in 50 Minutes ready

 

[matzesu]

So i only have to type cd, than rcr??


Or the game needs 28 minutes to be down..


I think i want to put in on my pandora tody, and try it to run tomorow..

"FTL"

The minimum screen resolution for FTL will rule out the Pandora regardless of processing power; however, there is this for the C64 (and thus VICE on the Pandora)



Edit: I should mention it's currently only a "Preview"
