EasyRPG Player

Hi, does anyone have any links to games that can be used on Amiga without first extracting/running on a PC?

Ta.

@Antique
That looks better. Did you try any games if they work?

@BSzili

No, have nothing to test, and don't know where to find stuff for it. Will try and search.

I see. You can try Grimps, just with the new EasyRPG executable instead of the included one:

'What you said initially didn't raise any alarms, since I never built a Linux executable for EasyRPG Player, and OS4 uses ELFs too (file extension notwithstanding). I did however built the Player for one other platform: MorphOS. I so what I uploaded was a MOS executable instead of an OS4 one. Drats. Can you please redownload it, and check if it's any better?'

ok this 'non MrphOS' version starts up & exist fine now.

output window shows:

then tried the Grimps game with this executable and it initially started out fine but then there was the lower half of screen with grabled text, sound was ok...was allowed to exit game fine to WB with no errors........heres what output windows said:

btw, game runs fine with its original executible.

Thanks for testing. Do you have a link to the game that had the glitches? What did you do when the garbled text appeared?

@BSzili

it’s the link you gave in this thread over at os4depot.

I couldn’t do much as the screen was garbled with text and couldn’t see anything but managed to exit game and get back to workbench with no errors...i’ll post a picture of what the screen looked like tomorrow...very late here gotta get some sleep now

@BSzili

Tested the SDL2 version and no problem so far, all my games work flawlessly.

@328gts
Could you tell me what type of video card did you try it on? Do you have do you have Warp3D or Warp3D Nova + OpenGLES2 support?

@BSzili

HD7950, dual slot, 3MB with latest (non beta) Warp3D Nova, ogles2.library v2.11

It's now built with SDL2, but it only uses the software renderer, as the accelerated ones seem to have some issues. The software renderer works well enough, at least in WinUAE.

@BSzili

Thanks !

@BSzili

I get a lot of tearing playing with EasyRPG even if the counter always show 60FPS

@K-L
Sorry I missed your message, I don't check here very often. The tearing is likely the result of the lack of vsync in SDL2's software renderer. I disabled the hardware renderer(s) because of the glitches reported by others. SDL2 for OS4 has many accelerated renderers (compositing, OpenGL, OpenGL ES2), so there are way too many combinations, and I don't know which one works as I can't test this myeself.

edit: Just a note, I'll try to keep an eye on this thread better in the future.

@BSzili

Long time since i saw this thread again and wonder, did you post the reported SDL2 issues at the tracker, so that they can be analyzed and eventually fixed?

- Would it be possible to turn off the system mouse pointer in fullscreen?

I'm not sure, which SDL2 issues you mean?
edit: I'll check if I can hide the mouse cursor.
edit #2: It turns out that some games using the Maniac patch handle mouse events. What I can do is to hide the cursor on keyboard events, and make it appear again if any mouse events arrive. Would this work for you?

@BSzili

I mean the ones you mentioned in post #55.

Heh, no problem, don't waste time if it's not worth it

What i like to ask is if you could probably compile a (test) version that uses opengl or composite (and VSYNC enabled)?
If it's not too much to ask, i just want to see if the impact is mentionable at least, since the sw renderer is pretty slow, even on my x1000.
