Shanghai

One of the games I miss playing directly in OS4 is Shanghai. Has anyone been able to tweak some setting to get it to start by just clicking on it or will E-UAE continue to be the only way to play it under OS4?

Hi,

I use ?MahjonggTiles? and it works very well even though it is 68k. I think it?s available on Aminet.

Ciao,

Try sdllopan, I think you will be very pleasantly surprised.

2 versions available.

Enjoy. I also loved Shanghai.

I've run Shanghai under OS4, the only problem was the fact that it wanted a 640x480 screen so the display looked funny.

I think it was one of those games that wouldn't exit, either, you had to reboot.

The version I have came from a disk of free games provided with the A500 that I bought for the kids in about 1990.

[edit] Just tried it again, still works. It calls itself "China Challenge" and claims to have been written by a Dirk Hoffman in 1990. Is that the one you meant?

PS: it does exit cleanly.

I tried sdlLopan under ud4 but it seemed to chew up a lot of CPU cycles and slow alot of other things down. Has this improved under OS4 final?

@tonyw

I've got China Challange which is nice, but it doesn't have all the options that Shanghai from Activision has.

@Valiant
Works fine but yes, seems to slow Ibrowse down when opening up a screen.
