Hi
Just released 4 new port for Aros (32 bit for now). They are coming from Demogroup Traction and released around 2005/2006.

They are:
Fiat Homo

Ante Dominum

All the Intros have more or less the same basecode, and originally where developed using SDL and FMOD libs.
I ported the code to use, first SDL+SDL_Mixer but when i run it, i saw that some Intro used to syncronize visual effects with BPM/position of music and SDL_Mixer doesn't support it.
So i looked at DUMB library that i know support it and using the source code of "The Fulcrum" demo that i released also some months ago (thanks to the work of M-HT), i was able to have a working code.
In the end this intros was compiled using SDL for the video part and DUMB lib for the audio part.
To have visuals better in sync with music i also used my port of Fasttracker2 Clone to edit the length of some patterns.
In the zip packages i included the SDL+DUMB version and the SDL+SDL_Mixer version.

Hope you enjoy it.

P.s. Thanks to Deadwood for let me know that first released version (1.0) was not working with Aros Hosted but only on Native.
Now with 1.01 released version this could be fixed.

I realized a video about one of the Intro pubblished (SSRI) running on Native.



Sorry for the not so much high quality of the recording.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the video Farox, on AROS One there is "Screenrecorder" (Video Folder) which creates good quality videos in MPG, as soon as you run it it sets the best quality, to hide the GUI just iconify.

Occasionally it goes into Guru but with a supported video card it should work better !

On my linux hosted with GL enabled, the demo has a crash. Crash is after the first scene with subtitles, and before the scene with 3d objects. Without GL the demo runs until the end, of course then too slowly

On real hardware

ASUS P8Z68-V LX
Geforce GT220 card

The music in the demo ends too quickly, and at the end after a pause it starts again.
I recorded for you a video of the demo played on my hardware.

Yes, it's definitely version 1.01. To be sure, I downloaded it a second time today from AROS Archives....

crash both versions (SDL+DUMB and SDL+SDL_Mixer)

Uhmm never encountered such crash, maybe could be some incompatibility with your hardware?
Could you please try one of the other demos on the same hardware?

Thanks for your report.

I can confirm the crash now i was testing without GL enabled on Hosted debug..sorry
Without GL enabled it work slowly (like you said) until the end.

I'll try to see if i can do something.

Great video thanks.
I don't know why but on my PC in Native i have the effect more in sync with the music.

Well, that is what is strange. Ante Dominum I ran the SDL_Mixer version because DUMB was even more out of sync with the music (a few posts earlier I gave an attachment with a video of what the DUMB version looks like on my computer).
