Blood for WarpOS!

 Thanks to BSzili (on EAB) Blood from Monolith (in the form of nBlood) is now available to Amiga! Cowcat and I have taken up the task to port this to WarpOS. Below can you see a work-in-progress. Sorry for the bad quality. If it is finished probably somebody else will do a much better job :-)

It is running on my AA3000+ with a Mediator (I replaced the FireBird for development a bit) and a Radeon 9200 Pro card with a Apocalypse card (MPC7410 / 256MB).

The current showstopper for release is multiplayer. It works, but it slows down the game a lot (from the fps you see in this video to below 20 fps).

MIDI slows down a bit in heavy scenes and also window mode is sluggish, but those I don't consider real show-stoppers.

As you can see, FPS is not too shabby. This is on 640x480 with interpolation on and details on highest:

Playing with my new toys!

Bought myself some covid-comfort gifts a few months ago. First off the amazing AA3000+ made by Hese. It is a hybrid of two prototype Amigas. The AA3000 and the A3000+ meaning it has AGA and a DSP. For more info on the latter I point you to A1K.org.

Secondly, as I was toying with CAMD in the latest ScummVM sources (back then 2.2) and I needed something to actually test it (and was sold by some of the ScummVM plus MIDI movies on the internet). So I bought myself a Roland SC-55 MKII all the way from Japan. Finding a correct power supply took longer than expected, but the result is cool IMHO.


Further specs of this AA3000+ is a CSMK2 running on 55MHz, a Ragnarok PPC card running on 800MHz and some card that cannot be named with 128MB gfx RAM.

Shown are "Day of the Tentacle" and "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream".
