RCross Amiga port

BSzili · 14 July 2022, 22:13

RCross is a racing game originally created by Franticware for the #hvdosdev2021 competition at https://www.high-voltage.cz where it won the first place. You control a small RC car on various terrains and race against time. Frca kindly agreed to share the source code, so it became a nice weekend project to get it running on the Amiga. The original game needs an 486 DX with 8 MB RAM, and the Amiga version has similar requirements. To play it you'll need a 68040 or 68060 with an FPU, 8 MB Fast RAM, AGA chipset or RTG.
I tidied it up a bit, and now the public test version is available here:

The game is available for download on Aminet:

Plays great on the A500Mini with JIT.

This plays great! Especially on WinUAE

Fun!

That was a great surprise!

This is actually stopping me from working, I love it. Thank you @BSzili

I've made a quick video of RCross running in AGS2 on the A500 Mini.

Ouch, that's running very slowly

If this is on an emulator, would you mind recording footage on a different config that's closer to the minimum requirements? I really appreciate the work you do, but it certainly doesn't run like this on my machine, and people would be right to dismiss the port based on the video.

Woah impressing stuff !!

mrv2k · 15 July 2022, 20:23

I like that it supports user made tracks as well.

Looks fun

Hello. Sorry for the framerate. Unfortuanely I do not have Amiga with CPU 040/060. Nevertheless I will try to record the video once again with a better configurated emulator WINUAE. The game is great though!

No problems. WinUAE should be fine, I also used it on a garbage machine (2012 Mac Mini) for testing, and it ran at maxed out speed with vsync, so I was surprised why it ran so slow for you. JIT + Fastest possible will probably do the trick, this is what I used:

Thx! Correct video version:
