Alien Breed WIP (GBA Game)

Alien Breed is the first in a series of science fiction computer games played in the form of a top-down shooter for one or two players. It was released in 1991 by Team17 for the Commodore Amiga and later in 1993 by MicroLeague for MS-DOS. [from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Breed ]

Homebrew Developer Mike H. is working on a GBA version of this excellent shooter since a while and has sent a few screenshots to PDRoms some time ago. With a pretty much hughe delay here are a few impressions from the 80% completed GBA version (see screenshots above you).

For those out there who like Alien Breed, there will be a commercial 3D sequel soon, so a possible GBA version would be a great cookie and advertisement to all fans of this series.

SmallBall in Changeland (Test) (29-01-2009) (Wiz Fenix Game)

One day when Smallball woke up he discovered that Nasties had stolen all of his friends happyspirits! Without the HPs all of Smallballs friends was as braindead as zombies! Gather all of the HPs before the Nasties gets you too! But beware, you are in changeland where natural laws change constantly!

Release notes:

Since the Fenix-runtime works well on the Wiz, I decided to port some of my games to it. For my older games, the GP2X-versions should work fine on the Wiz as well.

However, some of my newer games had a few features which I excluded from the GP2X-versions due to lack of speed. But since the Wiz is a lot faster, these games might work fine even with those features included.

I decided to start with Smallball in Changeland. This version has all the background-effects the PC version has and looks a lot better than the GP2X version. If it runs fast enough, that is. Since I don’t have a Wiz yet, I cannot test it. But if anyone here would like to test the game and see how well/fast it runs, that would be great!

MAME4ALL Wiz (27-01-2009) (Experimental) (Arcade emu for Wiz)

Franxis ported the latest GP2x MAME (v1.6) over to the Wiz. MAME stansd for “multiple arcade machine emulator”.

Release notes:

Instructions:
– Download and install MAME4ALL for the Gp2x.
– Remove old files in the ‘frontend’ folder.
– Overwrite the Gp2x executables with the Wiz ones.
– Try it.

It is based in the last version of MAME4ALL for the Gp2x (1.6). It has almost everything working…

Limitations:
– Only 22 khz sound seems to work correctly.
– If the emulator doesn’t reach 100% of speed, the sound is choppy (i haven’t been able to run the sound thread and synchronization code, the sound is updated in the MAME thread). Performance hit.
– Several code is also not optimal, to be improved.
– For now the performance is almost the same as the gp2x one, to be improved.

This version is preliminary and experimental!. A lot of aspects have to be improved and optimized yet!. Please no Wiz Vs Pandora benchmarks!. Please DO NOT POST THIS ARCHIVE it in the news!
