Otto1980 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 i would warmly recommend to enter a new genre of game think about it ..... Real time strategy, Scrolling Beat em up, 3d Jump n run, RPG (FinalFantasy like) to just give some ideas regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) RPG would take way too much time to create, especially if you are a single person, despite that, I have a RPG project, but I'm not even sure when I will finish it... rts or beat them up demand pixel graphic skill that I don't have, and 3D engine is too hard for me (Osmozys 3D is my best attemps at 3D) but who knows, if people are really demanding games on jagcd, I can port my future projects, and it won't always be myst-like adventure games Edited March 26, 2014 by Orion_ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckafka99 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Having just finished Elansar on the Jag, I'm now ready for the sequel, so I'm absolutely in for the Cd version on the Jag (or any version for that matter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovalbugmann Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) +1 for any method to play Elansar on the Jaguar! I voted: Yes I would purchase Philia on Jaguar no matter what! Edited April 7, 2014 by ovalbugmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im_reg Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm currently playing Elensar and bought Philia on Android for my Archos Gameplay but would love to buy this for Jaguar CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I just received the Jaguar CD unit !I had to pay 60$ of taxes, but well, I think it's fair since it's a gift The blue lighting game shipped with the unit is working well, and I also tested my old Orion_'s Jaguar Collection CD and it's working like a charm !I'm so happy ! Now, serious coding work is coming Edited April 8, 2014 by Orion_ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztee Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 As someone else said still waiting for a copy of elansar! Glass mastering doesn't cost that much when you break it down. The best thing is you should never run out of them for newbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 some news about my progress on JagCD programming. I'm now able to read multiples files from CD, I've made a little "file system" which works fine (read about 44 files with checksum and every file was read correctly) I'm also able to encrypt a CD (I had to modify my old tool because retrieving data from the jag was not working anymore) but now I'm stuck with cinepak, It's not working, the best I get is a single flashing pixel in the middle of the screen. It seems like everyone making cinepak cd are using an already compiled player that read cinepak file from CD, but no one actually compiled or integrated a cinepak player in a game, which is a lot more difficult. the cinepak source sample is just NOT working (even using blue lighting cd cinepak), and I tried to look into the "gamefilm" sources but it's a mess to dig in. Unless someone (TXG?) can help me on this topic, I might end up doing my own video player, but it will not look nice, it will be RAW 160x120 256colors video (zoomed x2) also, I thought about a problem with Audio track, I won't be able to use this for the audio ambiance, because, each time you will click to go somewhere in the game, I will need to load data from the CD, thus interrupting the audio playback... Myst is playing audio while loading data because it seems to load small audio loops with low playing frequency in RAM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's great to hear that you made some progress already! There must be someone in the community who can help you out with the cinepak problem, and maybe even the audio ambiance. I think that for games like this, the audio is very important to generate a feeling that gets you immersed with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I would post a separate topic on the Cinepak question since it might get lost in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) ok, I would like to say that, I'm Happy ! I've spent the last 4 days fully working on the Cinepak player, and it finally works ! Thanks to TXG/MNX for providing the original player source, I've created a standalone module (about 6k of code) that can be loaded in ram and called to play a cinepak movie from CD. It use almost 1.5mbytes of ram, but well I can't help it, the cinepak player needs 1MByte of circular buffer, and triple buffering. Also my JagCD library can now load data from a little file system and play audio track. I just made a little "proof" test to Play in loop cinepak movie/image loading/audio track playing, and it all works without any bugs, glitchs, or jaguar voodoo stuff. I can now let the Philia port begin I will release some of my tool and code to the community, including, the cinepak module, my jagcd lib, and my tools for cd encrypt using BJL cable, cd track maker, and cd file system tool. soon, I just need to write some "how to use" info about this Edited April 16, 2014 by Orion_ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't there be something in the sources out there ready made? Isn't the MYST source code out there somewhere? What player did they use with HS CD?
