Release Solarwolf For The Pandora :)

[Magic Sam]

Hi,

Here is a **very** quick port of Pete Shinners' Solar Wolf (v1.5) to the Pandora

website

unzip the file somewhere on your sd card, open up a terminal, "cd" into the directory and launch the game with ./solarwolf.py

Use the d-pad to control your ship and space to speed up !

I'll do a PND, modify the controls, and upload it also to Pandora Apps as soon as I can

UPDATE: The game is now available as a PND

I hope you'll enjoy it !

Bye, Magic Sam

Great! I'll try this out as soon as I can. I love Solar Wolf!

Thanks very much.

Cool, nice game!

Awesome - first played on my n900 and loved it, can't wait to play it again on my Pandora!...You know, when I get it.
Also, I didn't know that you could speed up with space. Loading it now to replay and hopefully do a bit better!

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words guys

Do you think the game runs fast enough @ 500MHz, or does it require some OC in your opinion ?

I know there are issues (lower part of the screen not being displayed, buffer underrun, etc...), I'll have a look at that !

Bye, Magic Sam

This looks nice Thanks for porting it Sam.

Do you think this code (in a startup script) could do the trick for the controls, enabling the use of the joystick and buttons ?

I borrowed it from WizardStan here

NUB0=`cat /proc/pandora/nub0/mode`
NUB1=`cat /proc/pandora/nub1/mode`
echo absolute > /proc/pandora/nub0/mode
echo absolute > /proc/pandora/nub1/mode

echo $NUB0 > /proc/pandora/nub0/mode
echo $NUB1 > /proc/pandora/nub1/mode

EDIT: Tried it, didn't work

Bye, Magic Sam

Hi guys,

I have uploaded a "new" version, packed in a convenient PND file

Please download it and tell me if anything went wrong !

I also have contacted the original author, Pete Shinners , for help about the resolution and controls issues...

Bye, Magic Sam

Hi all

After resurrecting Retrobattle, I think I'll give my early SolarWolf port a go...

Stay tuned !

EDIT: while I'm at it, I could also have a look at Which Way is Up

Cheers, Magic Sam
