+CyranoJ #501 Posted February 13, 2017 hehe, I don't even know what Nitro is on the ST, but that exchange just reminded me of that scene in the movie. = ) Awesome to hear you're enjoyin' what you're doin' right now, don't go and get yourself burned out as you've been bringin' a lot of cool things to the Jaguar. Thanks... but you heard it here first, folks.... 2017 is *JUST STARTING* 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you'd need a 10 Ghz 256GB workstation with an nVidiaGTX10000080 to do that in Powerpoint 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atarian63 #506 Posted February 25, 2017 Did arkanoid 2 ever get the sound working? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve-vx #507 Posted February 25, 2017 Since Atarian63 asked about the sound of Arkanoid - what is the reason for so many games / demos / ports not having any sound? I am thinking of Native, Starglider II, Pac-Mania... is putting sound in so difficult or was the conversion process so exhausting that people simply lost interest once the stuff was working on screen?

Welshworrier #508 Posted February 25, 2017 The sound chips are different between the ST and the jag. This means all the ST sound routines need to be rewritten from scratch or replaced with sampled versions for the conversions. Native is a different case as that's a jag native game that is maxing out the display processing side and they never added sound - which would have impacted the graphics.

steve-vx #509 Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks for the reply, Welshwarrior. This makes it a little more plausible for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+CyranoJ #510 Posted February 26, 2017 Pretty amazing co-incidence! Spent some time this afternoon doing this, then logged on and saw these posts. https://youtu.be/1RZxAS6TRrw Need to add sound effects now.

Welshworrier #512 Posted February 26, 2017 I sometimes get the feeling it's only the speed of Australian broadband to upload the videos that is hindering the games completions 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+CyranoJ #521 Posted February 27, 2017 I'd like to remove the ST part because I try to enhance them all in some way, either with better audio or converting routines to the gpu for huge speed ups. Meh, it's all good Games are games! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
