Changes from v1.0:
* Many optimizations in the OpenGLES conversion. Much faster than v1.0.
* More complete conversion to fixed-point math, along with ARM ASM fixed-point
divide and conversion of float divides to multiplies where possible.
Now most any scene is 20-60fps. Levels 8-10 are not as smooth
as the PC version but still fairly playable.
* Custom configuration utility allows overclocking of CPU and
RAM timings, reconfiguration of controls in both rotated and normal
modes, selection of rotated or normal screen, disabling of music, and
selection of laser to be on or off by default.
* Support added in OpenGLES code for drawing texture effects that were
missing before.
* Slight changes to default control schemes but, again, these are now
configurable by the user.
* Sound is now at 44khz instead of 22.5khz. In version 1.0, the OGG files
were re-encoded to fix a problem with the first song that only seems to
surface on ARM architectures. However, with version 1.1, I instead
replaced just that one song with a wav decoding and the other songs are
original. Overall music quality is now as good as the PC game.
Important credit goes to:
* Pickle - all the contributions to 3D stuff on the Wiz
* GameGod - Initial work on GP2X port
* Notaz - pollux_set utility
Installation:
Unzip rRootage_wiz_11.zip into the game\ folder of your SD. The SD should
now contain this folder: game\rRootage_wiz_10\
Be sure to extract the zip with full pathnames enabled. You can extract
it anywhere you want on your SD card if you like, though.
Playing the game:
* Launch rRootage.gpe to play the game. Launch rRootage_cfg.gpe if you
want to use my custom configuration utility.
Default Wiz Control Mapping:
ROTATED FULL-SCREEN MODE:
Menu, X: Laser off (on by default)
R_Trigger, A: Special
A: Pause
Select: Exit to menu (new feature I added)
Vol+/-: Change volume
DPAD: Move
NON-ROTATED MODE:
Y, R_Trigger: Laser off (on by default)
A, L_Trigger: Special
Menu: Pause
Select: Exit to menu (new feature I added)
Vol+/-: Change volume
DPAD: Move
I was going to wait until the results of the Pandora Angst competition were released before I released this updated version of my entry. The results still aren't out yet and I will be leaving tomorrow and starting my 5-month thru-hike on Sunday so I have to release this now. I have only tested it with firmware v1.2 so if you have troubles, you should updgrade your firmware. Have fun
