[ptitSeb]

@ptitSeb : thanks for the quick update

I just get a black screen though... Is the game running correctly on your end ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

 

[ptitSeb]

Yes it does (but as always, I have Codeblocks running, so that can change things). Anything special in the log?

 

[Magic Sam]

The only error message I could find is:

The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this fixed, please report this to the SDL forums/mailing list <https://discourse.libsdl.org/> X11 KeyCode 147 (139), X11 KeySym 0x1008FF65 (XF86MenuKB).
best_index=4

And I confirm that game is working fine when Code::Blocks PND is mounted.

Cheers, Magic Sam

@ptitSeb : I think I understand where the bug is coming from.

In appdata/hydracastlelabyrinth/.hydracastlelabyrinth/system.ini, xbrz is still set to "off" by default after a clean install. I set it to "on" and the black screen issue disappeared.

Cheers, Magic Sam

 

[ptitSeb]

Wow, why is xbrz off not working???? Ok, thanks for the debug, I need to fix that!

 

[ptitSeb]

Ok, I fixed that scaling. So now, blocky scale works (well, it doesn't change much on pandora screen)

Build 06
-----------

• Fixed non-xbrz scaling

@ptitSebIn appdata/hydracastlelabyrinth/.hydracastlelabyrinth/system.ini, xbrz is still set to "off" by default after a clean install. I set it to "on" and the black screen issue disappeared.

In my case it is still off, but changing SGX driver to 1.6 made the graphic visible

 

[PowerGod]

"xbrz=off" in settings.ini seems ignored, the game always starts with it ON.

It is not a great issue, because you can change it even during a play session, but just to let you know.

 

[ptitSeb]

ah, I'll check that issue.

Just finished the game, cool stuff. It's really perfect for this device.

An advice to new players: red blocks can be destroyed from the beginning if you get the pickaxe some rooms left from the starting area, and some of them contain upgrades.
The most useful upgrade is the "bell", that once found will ring in every room you enter that contains a "secret"... it's up to you then to find how to discover it.

There is no map, but the area is not extremely big, and at some point you can navigate it without too much issues.

You'll need the "sgx_drivers_r2.pnd" linked HERE, and follow the instructions.

Once installed, run it from the "System" menu and select a 1.6 driver.

After that you can run Hydra Castle with graphic.

For some other games maybe you'll have to change again the driver version, and most of the time the "default" one (1.4) is ok, but not in this case.
