Chilly Willy said:Yeah, that would run easily on the Saturn... I ported Wolf3D/Spear of Destiny to the 32X, and this is just a TC for Wolf3D. He uses Wolf4SDL as the engine... looks like there's been some updates since the 1.4 version that was ported to the PSP, which is what I worked from. I'll have to update to the latest.
I might use this as a test for building homebrew on the Saturn.
vbt said:In fact there is alaready a port of Wolf4SDL but like you I don't know if this Mod has higher requirements. Keep me informed if you update your 32x port to the latest version.
Chilly Willy said:Sure thing. The mod looks like it uses the latest 1.7 Wolf4SDL, so if the Saturn version is older than that, it probably needs to be updated.
The update on the 32X version has been slow in coming main because I've been looking into how to get it to run from CD instead of cart. That's perhaps the most requested change as more people with 32Xs have the CD than have flash carts.
vbt said:yes it has to be updated, it's either 1.4 or 1.6
also, i think it's not as good as your port,, mine has to be optimised for the rendering part, it was mainly done to port sdl functions.
That would be a great feature.

If either of you want to seriously try and port it, let me know and I'll do my best to help.
Chilly Willy said:I found a post on your conversion in the C4 2008 thread, but it looks like that contest never completed.
Did you ever get sound going in your port? What were you looking at for music? My tests on ogg-vorbis on the 32X seem to be going well - I can play 11kHz stereo or 22kHz mono off one SH2 at full speed on the 32X (posted a test binary over at Sega-16). Ogg-vorbis is surprisingly good at 24 to 32 kbps... much better than ADPCM at the same rates (that's about 1 to 1.5 bits per sample).

Chilly Willy said:That would be nice, thanks. I will be working on a Saturn port of v1.7, but I'm not sure when I'll get the time exactly, so perhaps you might wait until the port is posted (here) and then it'll be time for that help.
vbt said:There is sound on my port, I use CDDA & PCM, it was taken from iphone version or something like that.
Good luck with your port Chilly Willy, I can help if needed.
