Release Secret Maryo Chronicles

[ptitSeb]

New build. It's compatible with newest firmware now (and I tried to fix the freeze when trying to change Texture level detail). It should be smoother now, especially on CC if you decrease Texture & Geometry detail.

Build 02

----------

• Compatible with Firmware SZ 1.62+
• (somewhat) Fixed the menu to change Texture & Geometry details (I suggest you reduce Texture detail on CC model)

hi little Report..this Game is not more starting with the recent Zaxxon

With what SGX driver? On a Gigahertz model I assume?

I'll try to update it.

 

[ingoreis]

hi and yes.
1 Ghz Pandora..standard SGX Driver...updated last Week

Maybe this will benefit from the newer gl4es too from you

 

[ptitSeb]

Ok, so I rebuilt smc and updated the libs in the PND.

The new PND is on the repo (I tested breifly on my Gigahertz model and it seems to works fine).

Build 03
----------

• Rebuilt with latest tools
• Updated libs

 

[ingoreis]

thank you i will test it

..oh no..some XML Errors.
Here the PND runout.

[doublepost=1515541837,1515537001][/doublepost]Hi News:
I inserted 2 Missing Libs in the PND and the Game run now very fine.
Thank you

here is the fixed PND:

 

[ptitSeb]

Ah, missing libs.

Sorry about that. I have repackage and uploaded the new version on the repo.

Build 04
----------

• Repackage to add missing libs

It used to work with plain SDL :/

Loaded just fine for me. Caching images took a good while, but hopefully I only have to do that once.

Only problem I had was once launching a game, I didn't seem able to navigate the map. I took a look at the keyboard settings, and those all look okay, but I still couldn't move to a level or anything.

That must be a loooong time ago, because smc was using CEGUI / OpenGL for as long as I remember looking at it.

You mean, you cannot use the map to choose to replay a level? IIRC, you can only select levels you already beaten plus the current one? I'll check later (but I haven't changed anything in the code, just a fresh compile).

 

[ptitSeb]

I tested, and I have no issue in the map.

 

[levi]

I tested again, and enter entered the level correctly this time. I guess I'd managed to page away from the game before I got that far when I was trying various keys to enter the level, d'oh!

A couple of minor suggestions; when saving a game the filename you enter is quite hard to read; this also applies to some of the other popups that can appear if you mess with the function keys. Maybe fiddling with the font will help here, or maybe the transparency just needs tweaking.

And in game, bringing up a help box just needs you to bump into it by jumping, but to cancel you need to hit enter. Sticking with the game buttons would probably be preferable. The jump button is probably the first button I'd try for this, which I think it how it worked in SMB.

But thanks for the port as is. It's a fun little game with lots of secrets and a mario maker thing to it as well!

 

[Eight Bit]

Great game! The pop ups in the first level annoyed me a bit but I enjoyed playing it, it has a good pace and playability.
Thanks for the port

around 2008 i think
