Latest version of Super Mario War
I just found out there is a new version of the game Super Mario War available : http://smw.72dpiarmy.com/
There is a DC-port of one of the older versions, but later versions have added many new gamemodes, powerups, etc. So I wonder if someone could port the new version of Super Mario War to Dreamcast? It still only uses SDL anc SDL_Mixer so a port shouldn't be any problems. There are also many map/sound/music-packs and other extras which can be downloaded and perhaps added to the DC version.
Anyway, a port would be wonderful. Its a very fun game.

Thanks for posting it. However, it dosn't seem to work very well. I cannot selec level (there are no levels when trying to change) and no mather which I choose I get to a screen filled with blocks. Also, it all runs very slow. Perhaps I did something wrong when burning it?

well is it displaying any graphics or playing sound? If not you burned it wrong.
Otherwise its been since last November since Iv look at it and tried the code, but I didnt burn it Iv only tested it over my bba. while some parts are slow, you can change stuff in the options menu to help that out a little.
Or the source is available for download and anyone feel free to fix/finish/resume this port for me.

It is displaying graphics and playing sound. I can see the menu and go through it, but once the game starts there is no level, its just filled with blocks. Perhaps I should have removed the cvs-folders?

Not sure if you know, but according to my *lover* who tried to use your nero image of Super Mario War, it doesn't work. Like, at all.

Most Nero 6 revisions won't work with DAO images, which is what most DC images are.fuzzymoochicken wrote:Not sure if you know, but according to my girlfriend who tried to use your nero image of Super Mario War, it doesn't work. Like, at all (according to her, it just burns a blank, useless cd)...
Also, GPF. I'll look at your source code. Judging from what people have said about the speed of this port, and my own porting efforts, I'd say that any DC port will need a resource manager. In my own port, I converted all the graphics to PNG format to save on space. I don't think doing that breaks anything, but I'll find out.
If you think that would make the game playable, it would be fantastic. How long do you think it would take to implement a resource manager?

No clue, I've never done it before. = /Imerion wrote:If you think that would make the game playable, it would be fantastic. How long do you think it would take to implement a resource manager?
I have sort of an idea of how it's done, though.
Also, I found that the one I was trying to port was the 1.7 alpha. XD
Not to mention that I now know porting an entire game on my own is beyond me at this point. however, I'll see what I can do with a resource manager. I just need to figure out how to detect what graphics and such are used in a map and preload only those.

Oh my god, I'm not sure what I did, but my port runs smoothly at around 25FPS! Although the sound doesn't work, and it has a massive memory leak somewhere (I think it's in the map loading). But you can usually get a game off, it just freezes up at the end, or when you try to load a new map mid-game.
EDIT: Is there a function in KOS to print out the amount of memory used?

Whoo! Sounds like great work so far! No idea about KOS-functions though. Better ask in the programming forum.
