Coolness! Downloading now!

Looking forward to hearing reports on this from users.

 

I did the encryption of this for Beej so the CD you burn will be bootable on standard Jag/CD's.

 

It should also be noted you can use cdrecord on Linux and OSX, and other platforms and burn this too. It is not just limited to the DOS cdrecord version.

[Goochman]

The record process worked I think - Ill drag me jag out tomorrow and let everyone know the results.

[Gregory DG]

Worked for me. It didn't at first, but there was a smudge on the disc. After I cleaned it off it was fine.

 

I ran around for about 15 minutes and never found anyone to talk to.

 

I kept thinking how this could have been modified into a GTA type game.

Static Gamer has a great Strategy Guide that shows you where to go to find other characters.

I've added a link to it on the web page, too.

My one seems to crash a bit here and there. i'm going to copy another one to see if it doesn't crash (as much). Anyone else have this problem? If so, where / at what point does it crash?

 

@ belboz - nice work on the encryption Its good to put it in without having to drag the BS:G out (plus i'm going to copy 2 and give it to my 2 close friends who have Jag CD Add-Ons but no bypass carts)

 

@ Beej - Thanks again for all your help in getting all this great stuff out and making it readily available to the WHOLE (Jag) community

I just tested mine out and it worked great - Wow, this wouldve been a massive game and appears that it would be fun also.

 

I had some problems 'Taxiing' around - if I tried to change scenes from within a bldg it would lock up, but I could just restart and go where I want.

 

Thanks for sharing Astrobeej!

Thats nice I just sold my Jag CD a few months ago and wanted to play this game. Looks like I cant until I have 150 bucks to burn on ebay.

[belboz]

Just walk outside before taxing again.

I was able to burn the cd and start the game, but as soon as I walk a few steps in any direction, the screen gets filled up with funny colors and the game locks up...

[Paolo]

This game could have turned out in a big hit.

Still, it is nice to go around (thank you for the guide, guys) and meet people and looking at textures.

 

BTW: it worked at the first try

For whatever reason, the game seems to be more stable when you run instead of walking. Hold C down when you pad forward.

Thanks for the hint, I can confirm that now, since I was able to explore the city a little more by "running".

[Htbaa]

Wow great! Thank you. Downloading now . Can't wait to boot it up.

[Atari_Owl]

This is wonderful news.

 

And welcome to AtariAge, its great to see you here.

cdrecord is the backend for most cd buring software in Linux. I will try to burn this in Linux and let you guys know how it went.

[Hyper_Eye]

Well... I got this to burn in Linux and it worked great. I attempted to make the batch file executable and simply run that as it should have been usable on the shell but something was wrong. It couldn't find the files and I tried all kinds of things. I then just ran the commands. They worked after I moved -multi and put it before -audio. It seems -audio needs to be followed by the tracks. After those changes it worked great. The game is interesting though I can see that a lot of work was left to be done. I got stuck and had to restart it a couple of times and that elevator area was just plain strange. At one point some girl was following me around so I tested out the gun and it works . Thanks for this.

hehehe...

[mrwell]

I also burnd a cd... but have problems !

i did it like its written in the documentation on the page..

and the cd i createt i tryed around 50 times on my jagcd..

maybee 2 times the game startet .. every other time it crashes with CD image and "?" on jagcdbootscreen!!

is it possible that i used an bad CD?? its a CD-R..

usual games like Higlander works without any problem so i dont think its the CDdrive..

looks like i have to burn it again !??

 

Greetings 2 all

[mrwell]

found a soulution..

if i boot a usual atari made jagcd-game and after that directly the BIWN cd it works !!

very strange.. could it be that the laser is adjusted!?

or is it usual that the jagcd got problems with burned cds??

 

same problem i got with my IS2 CD.. which is on of the first, selfe burned CDs from telegames

[Hyper_Eye]

I didn't have any problems once I got it burned.

[Symmetry of TNG]

I didnt have any problems aswell... burned at 4x speed.... the slower the better...

 

 

note:

I was "amased"/intreged/qurious about the fact that it is "full" 3D ...and not raycasting like i thought in the beginning after watching the video grabs.

Rather interesting... might it be ataris 3Dlibs again, perhapps? ....(with own made collision detection.. with some sincere problems sometimes..?)

 

anyhoooo ...thanx again for this release... watching the "actors" trying to do their best for their salary, always brings a smile on my face ;-D

 

cheers

[Hyper_Eye]

The collision detection is definitely not greaty heh.
