What a great start to it too by the way! We have 5 already.. Just out of interest, looking in some of the replies on Intro-Inferno, we could well have a couple more entries from some very cool guys.
Alpha One (http://www.defacto2.net/cracktros.cfm?mode=author&value=Alpha%20One&page=1&recordsAtOnce=15) said on II he may convert one for the comp, and so did Stingray! (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=16332&howmanycomments=-1)
Nice that the comp is attracting other people thanks to II :)
Who else here is going to enter the comp?
If it carries on as well as it's started, the final entries list will be amazing! What a good advert for "find a coder" that will be.
Thanks!
for me , if i finished my new software library i will.
This comp definately rocks. Right now there are cool conversions made - although
the contest just started ... so - I am really curious about the next releases ...
I hope to enter with at least one entry. Atm scene-wise I first want to finish
the Znax clone and actually I wanted to study Chris' sources and learn some more
OpenGL + shader stuff. Will see how much time is left at the end of the day ...
Anyway, great compo and really fun to watch the conversions ...
could someone maybe point me to some basic retro demos i wouldnt mind giving it ago but im not to clued up on the retro scene.
Not I.
I'm not too interested in oldschool, but I'll try to support it as best I can :)
I am hoping to find time to do one entry.
right ive found a flashtro how do i go about extracting sound/images/fonts?
I dont think I will be entering this one I am in the process of learnin C++ man I really hate that language it takes about 20+ lines of code just to tell the compiler that you are writing a program I dont even know how to open a graphics screen yet but I bet it isnt as simple as open window 640,512. Add to that the fact that I cant decide which intro to set my sights on. I think I will wait off for the next compo and put in an entry for it instead of this one.
Nino, you could either rip the resources yourself or ask around here if you need help extracting them.
ive have a read of some tuts so i know how to rip the gfx theyve told me to use an emu and look in the hex dump but im not sure which emu ill do all the gfx work but might need a bit of help with the music!
ive got all the frame work writtin out and my 3d oject going so its all good so far.
Any problems and I'll rip out whatever you like :)
sorry i guess my question should have been do you know any good emus that can do this.
im a total noob when it comes to the amiga ive never even seen an amiga it was the spectrum i used to mess around on, heck i didnt even know what a flashtro was until today ;D
look for WinUAE, that's the best emulator, you'll need kickstart roms for it too.
Or you could always just say what cracktro you are converting and I can rip the resources for you.
Which the best music to use with this cracktro:

I know that originally it don't have music but it must have some music included ;)
Anyone ???
cheers shockwave mate heres the link if you could rip the gfx and sound that would be a real help.
do you think it might be possible for you to do a little tut in your spare time of how you rip these as im now curious. :cheers:

Ah! I think Zawran is converting that one Nino, but I'll rip the media anyway..
Rbraz, Hmm.. Maybe something by Pink?
shoot :D will it be cool to have two entries the same? or would i be better choosing another?
Probably you would be better choosing another one. There is a WIP thread in the competition forum so you can reserve a flashtro..
Anyway, media attached..
cheers shockwave karma up!
i will choose another and seing as this thing is almost done i will finish it but wont enter it. and give the source to the forum in the freebasic section.
sorry to be a pest but is there any chance of you ripping the font for me too if not its cool, this is why i like to be able to do stuff myself so i dont have to anoy anyone ;)
Can't find my Action Replay! You could do a few screen grabs to get the font?
yeah no problem im still trying to get this winuae working i think i could grab the font with it but it wont load the rom up.
Doesn't winuae have Action Replay built in these days? I got the font for mine using screen grab and mspaint.
Jim
im not sure i cant even get the rom loaded when i start the emu up it says something about it not haveing a system rom or something then doesnt want to load the rom i really dont have much of a clue :-\
The version I have has a ripper where you can save screen shots and search for sound data, but that's about it.
I have an Amiga here with AR though, If I could only find it!
the tut i read was here.
http://flashtro.com/page.php?id=139
but it doesnt say which emu to use or how to actually load the roms up.
Just a stab in the dark but do you need a BIOS to run a rom with winuae? That might just be the problem
yeah thats the problem.
and im guessing if it didnt come with the emu i shouldnt ask where to find it lol ;)
;)
If you own an Amiga, there's no reason why you shouldn't have an image of the ROM. If you have Kickstart 1.3 that would make you lucky as it's the most compatible one. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=kick13.rom&meta= (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=kick13.rom&meta=)
Jim
cheers jim!
now about the tut link i put above what was that written for as i cant find any options like that in uae?
back in the day there was an excellent gfx ripper from ARCANE team. Can't think of the name of the prog at the mo I'm sure I got it on one of the 800+ amiga floppies I got. It would run on the emu with stone stock 500 3.1 settings. Probably located somewhere on the net. If not I will hunt for it this weekend if anyone is in need of it. <<need excuse to fire up the miggy:)
Would need to convert iff to something else but not a big deal there.
Most decent programs san load iff format Wham, so I think it might be very useful.. Especially for ripping fonts.. Something that allows you to display memory and scroll around it is essential to rip stuff like this.
yep definitly would be helpfull cheers Wham.
