AmigaOS4.1 ???

[ChrisH]

Is there some kind of wrapper? if so, could it possible to do the same under Amiga OS?

I guess the answer is yes it would be *possible*. The problem (as always) is that Hyperion is trying to move the OS forwards (e.g. virtual memory (swap space), e.g. multi-core support), which means (1) they have less man-power for adding lots of backwards-compatibility kludges, and (2) it might not be possible to add those backwards-compatibility kludges without breaking some of the fancy new features (that have been or will be added).

It would probably be a LOT simpler & easier to fix the actual game, but for whatever reason that is apparently not on the cards (maybe there is a license issue?).

Yes, that's the right way, moving the os forward but i guess that a wrapper would let Hyperion free to do that mantaining the compatibility with all the old apps available or it wouldn't?

Whilst not supported, I can confirm that at least the demo version runs on my classic 4.1 installation (was installed under OS3.x). However, it does DSI on exit.

About Heretic 2 demo on my system there are some difference between Update 2 and 3

- On Update 2 i can play it a little bit but the graphics will be shortly trashed and after a while it freeze
- On Update 3 it freeze during the loading of the initial map, so you can't start the game at all

It would be neat to see how novabridge handles heretic ii, it seems to be the best hope for running heretic ii on OS 4.1Fe

I am currently working on a OS4 native port of Heretic2
which will be available through Hyperion (despite me no longer working for Hyperion) pretty soon.

NovaBridge is supported but there is also already
a GL4ES renderer with full multitexturing which runs around 20% faster than the MiniGL renderer.

There are no strange freezes or problems with pixel formats with this version.

I suspect i and the betatesters still need a few weeks
(Especially as work for the job starts again on Monday for
me) - but i think a few more weeks should be doable.
