I've decided to release my latest port, while waiting for the C4 results:

It's RAW, an interpreter for Another World (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/out-of-this-worl...) game data, so you can play it on your Sega Saturn.

This port is not part of the contest (i coded it in the last weeks), so i thought that releasing it would bring no harm

You can get it from here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/283189810/raw_saturn_b...

Source code included.

Some notes:

* It doesn't include game files as it would be illegal redistributing them.

* I've tested it mostly on real hardware, so i cannot assure how well it beheaves on emulators

* Should work OK at 50hz, but 60hz is much much better imho

* It's BETA, even though the game seems to work pretty well.

UPDATE:

I've uploaded RAW for Saturn BETA2. Here are the news in this version:

Code:

    * Sound mixing on slave SH cpu * Vertical screen centering * PAL/NTSC specifing timing fixes

You can download it from here....

Additional infos and notes in the included README, enjoy everyone!

		Amazing job Hkz The games run really well on Saturn. Your Saturn specific source code looks great and could be reused on more ports.

		Runik	Sep 23, 2009
		Interesting release I don't have the game, but I'll definitely take a look at the source code ...

		Great news, thanks for this release, hkzlab ! Now let's see where to get the game files from, I can't wait to play it on Saturn, myself.

		Thanks everyone Here is what i'm preparing now: surprise...

		One of the Pitfall games, maybe ?

		Flashback: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/flashback-the-qu... It's another "cinematic" platform game from delphine.

		Runik	Sep 29, 2009
		I love Flashback I spent countless hours on it when it came out ... You're on the way to create something similar to ScummVM but on Saturn (and for Delphine games ) that's great !

		hkzlab	Sep 29, 2009
		yeah, flashback is a great game imho. Anyway i need to correct you: i just ported the engines, not written them The original author (cyx) must get full credit for that! He is the author of RAW too, and being REminiscence (the Flashback engine) structure very similar, i had an easy time adapting my code.

		Runik	Sep 29, 2009
		Woops, sorry about that ... I missed the whole 'port' part Is "great port of a great software" sounding better ?

		I tried to locate the correct version of Another world with matching MD5 but with no success There are always bank01 and memlist.bin that have different MD5, and sometimes 2 or 3 more bank files. I didn't try all the copies I found (17 in total) so maybe they will work, or we need the exact same copy than yours ?

		hkzlab	Oct 14, 2009
		They should work, probably those are just different revisions of the game. The important thing is that the resources are not badly hacked

		SeGaFrEaK_NL	Oct 16, 2009
		Good stuff! I'm going to take a look soon

		I've uploaded RAW Beta2, news and download link in the first entry of the thread

		Ryo Suzuki	Dec 13, 2009
		Hello people. I can't download the beta 2, I have this message from rapidshare: Error This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times. This limit is reached. To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector's Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector's Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information. Can you upload some other host like megaupload or mediafire for example? I will make a mirror in my site too if you want. Thank you, good work!

		And this is why I hate rapidshare. It is not so rapid now is it.

		christuserloeser	Oct 7, 2010
		The links are dead. Anyone still got a copy to share with me ?

		vbt	Oct 10, 2010
