  1. Special Xmas gift: fixed video on Falcon in OIDS. Fixed sound playback of Magic Boy on Falcon.

    Use sort by date on page, so latest updates will be on the top of table.

     

    Btw. problem by Magic Boy was that it uses 6.25KHz DMA sound when DMA sound HW is detected. But Falcon supports not that samplerate. I fixed it by fooling detection, so on Falcon it uses PSG sound (as on ordinary ST). Interesting - it looks that authors were not informed about Falcon's capabilities, or just didn't care.

     

    Thank you! :)


  2. Another game with no sound on Falcon, what I saw is not Starball but Crapman (nice Pacman clone).

     

    I looked little in Magic Boy - it uses shadow regs., but it is not the problem, of course. If problem is because of different stack frame of 68030 it could be fixed easy, but it seems very unlikely... Anyway, I will look more during hollidays. If nothing else, will learn little :)

     

    I remember playing Crapman on Falcon for the STOT. It definitely has sound.


  3. As Magic Boy is only second one, what I saw that has no sound (first was Starball, if remember well) all this sound problem is new for me.

    What I want to point is that people can learn things. All it is question of motivation and time.

    In case of Magic Boy problem is that it was released in 1993. So, for me it looks as very unlikely that fixing sound will be easy. Otherwise programmers would solve it, I guess. Maybe it is just disabled because of some troubles with...

     

    The Falcon-patched version of Legends of Valour from The Lemmings (if memory serves) has no sound either. Quite ironic, if you consider the superior hardware the Falcon had at the time when it came to sound. :)


  4. All the games you mention are available in English (or multi-lingual) versions for the Atari ST,

    with the possible exception of "L'Aigle d'Or - Le Retour".

    I know there's an English aka title for this one ("Golden Eagle"), but I don't recall seeing it anywhere.

     

    As for Trauma: that's just a little old shooter with not much text in it at all... :-)

     

    As Kalz said, everything you posted was released in English, whith the exception of 'L'aigle d'or: le retour".

     

    Main reasons for the latters to be canned for an english release are that the 1st Aigle d'or was a smash hit in France only (it was an Oric game), and the ST sequel 'Le retour' didnt do well sales-wise to say the least. Actually it was a huge flop that costed a lot of money to Loriciel. :(


  5. Only other adaptation what works not on my Mega STE is EPIC, guess from who ?

     

    Feel free to use one of your 10 accounts on the D-Bug forum to post a bug report. But after all the tests epic and f1 got through it would seem it's your mste that works not.

     

    Well, it can work not if is there, hardware Amiga crap some his MSTE in, right not? ;)
