OpenTyrian is a port of the classic DOS game Tyrian to C using SDL, so it can run cross-platform without DOSBox. The developers have been given a copy of the original Turbo Pascal source to look at but not redistribute. The ‘Classic’ port is a direct port with minimal changes and will serve as a freely-distributable reference implementation thereafter.

indiket now ported this nice piece of work to the Dreamcast!

Release notes:

Hi,
I just have ported OpenTyrian to Dreamcast, and here I publish my first “alpha” version.

OpenTyrian 0.1 DC (alpha)

– From svn revision 719 classic.
– Game is “playable”, I think it goes a little slow.
– Pad, mouse and keyboard should work.

Known problems:
– Instructions section doesn’t work and produce a crash…
– Sound and music work, but also they play badly. It would be great to implement an optimized sound routine (like gp2x version). Any ideas?
– Load and save doesn’t work yet (have to implement vmu routines).

Controls:
– Analogic or digital stick to move spaceship.
– Start: Like enter button
– A: Fire
– X: Fires left secondary weapon.
– B: Fires two secondary weapons.
– L: Like escape button

Files:
Source font: http://iberdc.dreamcast.es/ports/opentyrian/openTyrianDC01.zip
Bin file: http://iberdc.dreamcast.es/ports/opentyrian/openTyrianDCbin.zip
Cdi autoboot: http://iberdc.dreamcast.es/ports/opentyrian/openTyrianDCcdi.zip

Update 1: KOS (the environment where I work for the dreamcast), has a bug that crashes when it does a free(NULL). It’s a problem of KOS and it only afects to dreamcast.

PD: Sorry for my bad english 😛

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

Release notes:

ScummVM continues to leap forward in a leap year, and we are pleased to announce the next shiny bugfix release of the project.

As usual, it holds a number of improvements, it’s more stable, and it should bring you even more fun than 0.11.0.

We fixed the digital iMUSE system (better COMI experience), King’s Quest 4 bugs were squashed, and support for fanmade AGI games has been improved; Lure of the Temptress, Inherit the Earth and I Have no Mouth all work better since we fixed several crashes, lock-ups and all such buzzwords.

As a special bonus we are glad to announce the return of the BeOS port and the deeply missed Playstation 2 port.

Changes 0.11.1 (2008-02-29):

Ports:
– Revived the PS2 port.
– Revived the BeOS port.

SCUMM:
– Improvements for Digital iMUSE subsystem. This fixes several glitches in The Curse of Monkey Island.
– Fixes for cursors in HE games.

AGI:
– Fix for zombies in King’s Quest 4.
– Fix for changing palettes in fanmade games using AGIPAL.

Lure:
– Fixed some conversation crashes in the German version.
– Fixed operation of the optional copy protection dialog in the German version.
– Added saving of conversation flags as to whether a particular conversation option had been previously selected or not.
– Fixed glitch that could cause transformation sparkle to happen a second time.
– Fixed behavior of Goewin when you rejoin her after meeting the dragon.

SAGA:
– Fix for rat maze bug in Inherit the Earth which made game not completable.
– Fixes for Inherit the Earth and I Have no Mouth game startup on a number of platforms.
– Reduced the number of simultaneous open files in I Have no Mouth, to allow it to run on platforms that can keep a limited amount of files open (e.g. on the PSP).
– Fixed graphics glitch in Inherit the Earth with simultaneous speech.
– Fixed palette glitch in Inherit the Earth when looking at the map while at the docks.

Here comes a fully blown Golden Axe Remake for Dreamcast using the OpenBOR engien.

This game was initially made for Windows by Chinese OpenBoR coder utunnels. Christuserloeser merely did a huge part of the RAM related optimizations for the Dreamcast port and also recorded the music modes.

utunnels helped a great deal with the Dreamcast version too. He vastly optimized the script language in OpenBoR and did many other engine related code optimizations to allow the game to run on the Dreamcast’s 200Mhz CPU and 16Mbyte RAM. (In the future we will use the DC’s 8Mbyte Video RAM and 2 Mbyte Sound RAM too).
