Tyrian for PPC

[ttech]

Hello...
I managed to get Tyrian to work on my PPC an HP iPAQ rx3715. Using this:

GB and GBA games:
- PocketGBA (works well, but no sound [probably doing something wrong] and it takes a lot of memory)
- GNUBoy - for Tyrian GB version. Does not work well, there is sound but it caused my iPAQ to crash.


DosBox:
- pDosBox, works great, no audio, but game works. Only problem keys not set right, but thats my fault. Though its a bit slow.
- DosBox (don't know the actual name) - has a virtual keyboard, which would work better for games, but crashes as soon as I try Tyrian 2000.

All apps can be found at FreeWare PPC.com.

Hope this helps. I'll post screenshots soon if you want.

I'll

Yeah. I was just saying those are the dos box runners for pocket pcs. Its different t en the regular version. You can't just go run Win32 apps ia ppc.

Oh, by PPC you meant Pocket PC.... you know that PPC means PowerPC, right? <_< >_>

Ignore what I said then.

Yeah, I just haven't thought about the Mac PowerPC's in a long time...

But yeah. I got some screenshots too.

As would I - I have a Windows Mobile 6 device that needs some Tyrian action!

Just thought about this the other day - I know that unless you can run the original Tyrian under the PPC version of DosBox, I'm not sure how this would work. Otherwise, there's always ClayGun (which I was on the beta testing team for - www.claygun.com/), or Xiizeal, which is a PPC conversion of the arcade shooter Trizeal, original released for DC and PS2 (Japan-only, to my knowledge) - xiizeal.com/

I can say safely after playing the final version of ClayGun that if you like the marriage of classic & manic shmup action (like many Psykio titles), ClayGun is worth the $10 purchase. I played the heck out of it on my Dell Axim X5 (WinMo 2003 2nd Ed), and have been considering buying a full license for my WinMo 6.1 pda phone.
