Maelstrom (unstable) for MiNT
Posted by: KeithS May,08.2006-19:14 

Maelstrom 3.0.6 ported to MiNT.....

This is an early release, which has bugs, and I hope to fix all of the problems eventually, but I am more focused on ScummVM (which I will be sharing 2 executables of a little later today), so I at least wanted to share what I have so far....

I do not know if net support works, probably does not. It is not needed I do not believe.

The game will only run under FreeMiNT because it is using long file names, and it was compiled with G++ 3.3.6 (which Zorro says does not support Magic, I do not have Magic, so I can not test). I plan on trying to fix the long file names so it will run in regular TOS, and see what else needs to be done to play in TOS. I will also try to get it to compile under G++ 2.95 possibly.

Game locks up at the High Score screen after playing, most likely a file access or read bug. I have not really tried to figure it out yet (that involves debugging while in front of my Falcon, and the poor bird gets so little face time, just lots of remote love).

This game is using Patrices SDL library, best to use the XBIOS video driver, as the GEM driver is much slower. The Xbios driver with sound seems to run at the proper speed. (I think I got this right!)

Here is the file, untar/gz in / and will install to /usr/local/bin (executables) and /usr/local/games/Maelstrom (data files)

Maelstrom is 'basically' an asteroids clone. Here is the game's home page with more details:

ScummVM stable (latest version not hacked to pieces) and unstable (prelim midi music support with problems/crashes) coming a little later today, once I get the archives together.
