CT60 Games

[Sturm]

Following the CT60 demo thread, what are the games available for the CT60?

I have tried several ST ports and they usually don't work, same for some Falcon specific games. Not a big deal, since you can run in 030 mode.

So far i have played PMDoom and Worms.

Quake does not work (even using mint) and Scummvm is slow as hell under TOS and crashes under Mint (maybe i'm using the wrong version)?

I heard about Alice's Mom rescue, Elansar and its sequel.

What else?

Elite 2 Frontier and watch how smooth it is.

There are some ST games patched to run on the CT6x series located here:-

Duke Nukem is a good port to try also.

I also tryed Quake with my files from my historic PC but it doesn't work. I don't get Duke Nukem to run and pmDoom only runs with the shareware WAD file what I have. I have many wad files from my old PC but they don't run. I also search for Heretic WAD file and more, not found working ones yet. Let's make a collection of links for ct60e working and needing games here, which also includes links for the additional files (from PC version etc.) ? If somebody has, maybe share through clouddrive (google drive, onedrive, dropbox, etc.)n ?

Here are the engines to use with doom, quake, heretic and so on: http://patrice.mandin.pagesperso-orange ... -jeux.html

I'd really like to play Scummvm games. Anyone could tell me if they managed to and provide the link to the best version ? And the config used? Thanks

I assure you guys that Quake and DN3D do work as they have been for a decade now. I remember playing them in both TOS and FreeMiNT although FreeMiNT is always the preferred platform. Hard to say why you can't make it running, Quake is one of the cleanest games ever, it even works in multitasking, only a GEM window option is missing :)).

ScummVM (and OpenTTD), that's a different matter. I know Saulot did some efforts after my ports but generally, it's on my pending list -- both projects need a closer look to find out what are their biggest bottlenecks, esp. on ScummVM. I had done some experimental builds of ScummVM with 8-bit palette (2x less data to update), people reported success (you can find a thread about it) but palette was wrong + it has some other glitches.

Lack of manpower.

1. there is also OpenJazz ( Jazz Jack Rabbit ) which plays great and really smooth, only menu is quite slow.
2. and Open Tyrian with 2 ports:
- insane's which is quite fast and smooth but audio is kind of weird ( finished this port, and it gets slowish only at last levels where there is much going on screen )
- mikro's one which is generally quite slow, but manages audio much better
3. Lopan, which is Mahjong clone, but for me its unplayable because it can press Escape key by itself what ends game automatically

Is there any message when you try to run that Duke from me? As this should work out of the box, just unzip it and run duke.ttp as I provided this archive to some 2 other people and it worked fine. What soft are you using for unzipping?

I run Heretic fine, but I use mikro's port. I think Patrices ports ( Heretic, Hexen, Quake ... ) are really, really, really old ( if I'm wrong here please someone correct me ) and they should not be used as there are much more recent ports of those games done by mikro. Only PMDoom is fresh and is being updated on quite regular basis, so it can be used fine ( and so far its the best Doom port for 060 machines )

Generally, from what it seems to me, I guess there is something else wrong at your setup than the WAD files, and my first guess is unzipping software.

I believe Dune 2 would be another good port to try out.

Scummvm is slow? What games are you trying through it?

Frontier runs really gast on the TT030, I can only imagine how fast it is on an 060... at least until I solve my power issue..

[1st1]

I don't know how to start Duke. Duke.ttp needs Parameters, which ones?

[1st1]

The other games like Quake and Doom only work with the data files from the demo and shareware versions I have. I need full working full versions.

[paul92706]

ScummVM works fine for me, some games drag and others are pretty smooth, lot's of cool DOS BOX games available for ScummVM!

[Sturm]

Could you provide the link of your scummvm version ? Thanks
And what are the most playable games ?

I only have parcp to transfer files, and I'd like to download only the working ones, or it will take ages.

I made several games for Falcon CT60, 2 point'n click "myst like" adventure game, and a cute platformer !

Sorry for the offtopic Orion, but I´ve a question:

Elansar and Philia works in a standard Falcon (14mb) ? thanks.

Thanks for the reminder, just purchased all of them. :)

No parameters, just press OK

If I'm not wrong, mikro's latest port is here:
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=27728&hilit=scummvm&start=25

If it goes for performance, I think its the fastest port, but the colors are broken and mikro needs to be motivated!

And if I'm not mistaken ( do not remember, as tried it at least one year ago ) this is a port of Scummvm which doesnt have broken colors, but performs a little slower ( and its really not much slower, so I guess for many games it will be just perfect port ) then the above port:

viewtopic.php?f=26&t=27728&hilit=scummvm&start=25

And if it goes for me, none of the games that I would like to play are performing good, so here is the list of those you should avoid and not waste parcp bandwith
Day of the Tentacle - performs terrible ( I'm pretty sure that once I have configured it to play just ideally, but I can not repeat it when I wanted to play this game )
The Dig - performance is absolutely great, but there is no audio
Full Throttle - like above, performace is wonderful, but no audio
Simon the Sorceror - performance worse than Quake run on Atari STE, it renders one frame per something like 10 seconds or more ( tried all versions, even Amiga one, but no changes )
Simon the Sorceror 2 - same as above
Flight of Amazon Queen - performs baaaaaad
Big Red Adventure - performs baaaaad
and the only game thats really, really close to be playable from all that I tried is Broken Sword - performs almost ideally, has audio, but those darn weird colors keep me away from it
Other games did not try.

Elansar and Philia works in a standard Falcon (14mb) ? thanks.

yes, just check the specs on the page of each game:
Elansar: Atari Falcon 030 (VGA 640x480, 2MB of free ram, 50MB of disk space)
Philia: Atari Falcon 030 (8MB of RAM or 4MB without musics, Accelerated card recommended)
and Yopaz works on ST/Falcon

Thanks for the reminder, just purchased all of them.

Thank you !

[Estrayk]

I purchased Elansar rightnow too.

If you have both CT60e and SV, try playing Robinsons Requiem. Huge difference in speed!

[ggn]

It doesn't take advantage of the 060 but Downfall Falcon was tested on a ct63 during development and everything was fine. So I think it should work on ct60e without problems.

[Sturm]

I love Downfall, but for some reason, after the first loss, the joystick (or jagpad) does not respond anymore, i think it's bugged.

How does this version compare to the Jaguar?

[calimero]

Nat Car by Nature but you need supervidel also.

What advantage the SV offers for this game? Is there a patched version somewhere?

I downloaded it from http://christophe.bray.free.fr/informat ... %20Requiem
It's a fun game but quite slow on a stock Falcon. With just CT60 it's a little bit faster, but with the SV it's huge difference.
So it's not any special version made for CT60 and SV, but the original version runs much better with some more power.
