Raven. A homemade Atari-like computer

[agranlund]

Would it be possible to make some binaries available of a game port(s) you did for the Raven?

Here are some but they should all be considered work in progress :)

OpenTyrian: https://github.com/agranlund/opentyrian ... tag/latest
- No sound, No music (hardware OPL is almost done but disabled in the release.

Doom: https://github.com/agranlund/pmdoom/releases/tag/latest
- No sound, No music (hardware MIDI & OPL is wip but disabled in the release)

Quake: https://github.com/agranlund/quake/releases/tag/latest
- No sound, No music, No input
This is more of a proof on concept to add support for non-Falcon hardware.
Since there is no input yet you can only watch the self-running demo but not actually play or quit the game.

They all need the original data files from the PC versions.

OpenTyrian and Doom is using SDL so you'll need to configure your system variables accordingly.
I recommend this for programs built with recent enough SDL which has xbios input support:

Code: Select all

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=xbios
SDL_ATARI_EVENTSDRIVER=xbios

If you run SDL games under plain TOS you'll need some third party application to actually set these variables.
The latest Raven package has been updated to include "setenv" by Vinz/MPS, together with a pre-configured setenv.txt, but you could use any other similar program too.

That OPL and MIDI stuff is indeed begging to be included on machine like yours! :-)

Just to clarify: those variables are needed/recommended only for the executables already built & provided by @agranlund. Latest SDL will use those automatically on TOS >= 2.x machines.

Ah, good call! Thanks @mikro . I'll fetch and rebuild against latest SDL, very nice to not need SDL environment variables.
Especially since TOS doesn't really support them in a good way :)

Thanks for the ports… :D

As for the music I will just sing them.
Ta ta ta tada ta da ta taaaaa ta ta ta tada ta da ta taaaaa…

Haha brilliant! :lol:

I've rebuilt Tyrian + Doom against latest SDL and uploaded new release executables so you can disregard all the previous stuff about SDL environment variables.
(This SDL appears to have some issue restoring the screen going back to TOS but it looks fine in Mint. Something to take a look at later since it didn't happen in the old one)

Tyrian is using FPU a little bit but as far as I can tell it runs nice and fast even when built with soft-float, so the latest release exe is built like that and should then hopefully work on 68LC060 too.

I tested them both in full screen, and they are smooth and playable. Great work, apart from the audio.

Just sing the tunes with me you can do it…….

I know the Doom soundtrack by heart... I feel like I'm listening to it in my head... :lol:

But just in case you forgot, I'll help jog the memory :)
