Nice.. I bought the PC CDrom version of Flashback for a while ago for 10 SEK.
But i couldn't even get the crap to run in DOS. Now i can try it out.

a small note to all who forgot to read the readme

To get MUSIC you will need to mix Amiga Floppy version and the PC version.

enjoy guys and thanx to szaman for reminding me.

(Amiga mod files is needed only)

wohooo!!
Flashback will be one of the games I always remember.
And now I can play it on OS4, Great!

Good news indeed. But how do you get a hold of the game? I guess it is hard to buy it now, is it downloadable from anywhere (I of course mean legally)?

niolator:no its not a free game , you might be get lucky to find it on QXL or ebay or simmilar , noticed one guy mentioned earlier that he paid 9 SEK for it at some auction site.


edit: btw that wasnt fryguy

Anyone else have a problem that this game plays too fast? As it is now it's almost unplayable. Also the music is not in sync with the animations (plays too fast). I had to change the names of the mod files to get music to work at all...

Salass00:

yes its a tad too fast but thats one of the problems with theese enterpreters, same goes for another world , another world 2 , prince of persia and flashback sadly.

though its not like its a big problem.

if you want it abit more like the amiga orginal in terms of speed then use the scaling buttons and run it in fullscreen.

from the top of my head iirc its ALT (hold) and press +/- on the keypad.

cheers

salass00:btw i dont know which version of lfashback Amiga u have but my version where identical to what the engine wanted in terms of names.

if you want you can always look at the sources and change stuff or even suggest it to the CVS , its not like there is no way out or anything.

Isn't that what a FPS limiter is for? Any game that relies on constant FPS should have this IMO. All a FPS limiter needs to do is ensure that every frame takes a certain minimum of time to complete. This ensures that FPS stays constant even on much faster CPUs.

salass00:sure but how do one set a fps limit if there is no such code ?

@Toaks

Sure, it will need to be implemented in the game's main loop (or loops) of course. I assume SDL does implement some sort of timer code, right? If not, it definitely should!

salass: sure there is a reason to why its actually not flying , i will have a word with the writer of the engine though i dont have any real problems as its now (with it beeing to fast) and i am on a G4...

(and my classic plays the 68k and wos version at same speed too)
