[Deleted User]

Thanks for the release!

 

[MrHuu]

Updated to 0.8.1.
Effectively fixing all graphical issues and adding Amiga graphics (see screenshots).

Replace all files.

 

[CaptainHIT]

Thanks for the release. I played only the Amiga version back in the days. The scrolling is not what I remembered from then. Was this scrolling screen by screen only on the PC version? Sadly they only support Amiga gfx but not the gameplay which I think was better than the PC version.

 

[Searinox]

Ah yes the Dark Souls of the DOS era is back...

 

[MrHuu]

Updated.

Password input is working now!

 

[Mark McDonut]

oh my god thank you so much, I remember banging away at this with a janky tandy 1000tx joystick in such a wonderful palette of neon pink, seafoam green, cigarette ash grey and absence-of-color black when I was 10. Will be interesting using muscle memory on a not-piece-of-shit joystick for once.

 

[MrHuu]

Source updated and uploaded on GitHub:
https://github.com/MrHuu/opentitus/releases

- has support for Titus and Moktar
- able to compile to a standalone executable using romfs (provide your own gamefiles)

Only .3dsx for now.

 

[MrHuu]

And the .cia builds are fixed and available.

Ii'l leave this thread alone now..

 

[MrHuu]

meh.. ok final update. OpenTitus is fully playable on the old3DS now.
well.. kinda.. with slightly lower sound quality, that is.

 

[Appledashpone54]

I don't think is working for me, it crashes when I try it

 

[MrHuu]

I don't think is working for me, it crashes when I try it

Could you please give me some more info?

Are you using an old3DS or new3DS?
Are u using the .3dsx or the .cia builds? Maybe the low_freq builds?

Have you copied the OpenTitus folder, including all files, from the release copied to: 'SD:/3ds/' ?

Do you have the gamefiles copied to 'SD:/3ds/opentitus/titus/' ?
or do you have the Moktar release? in that case it's 'SD:/3ds/opentitus/moktar/'

Old 3ds (3ds xl) .3dsx build

 

[MrHuu]

Can you confirm that you have the game copied to your sd card?

Here's a list of the files you need to provide yourself.

titus/LEVELJ.SQZ
titus/LEVEL1.SQZ
titus/LEVEL2.SQZ
titus/LEVEL3.SQZ
titus/LEVEL4.SQZ
titus/LEVEL5.SQZ
titus/LEVEL6.SQZ
titus/LEVEL7.SQZ

[Appledashpone54]

I put the right files, still not working for me

 

[MrHuu]

Hmm.. if that's how it's layed out right now on your sd..
..my suggestion would be, to start from scratch.

You're using an old3DS, so:
- Download the LOW_FREQ build for TITUS here: https://github.com/MrHuu/opentitus/releases/tag/27-12-2018
- Extract it.
- Copy all the gamefiles you have ( all *.SQZ files ) to '/OpenTitus/titus/'

You should have it layed out like this now:

Spoiler: filelist

OpenTitus/OpenTitus.3dsx
OpenTitus/OpenTitus.smdh
OpenTitus/titus.conf

OpenTitus/titus/ttf_music.bin

OpenTitus/titus/LEVELJ.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL1.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL2.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL3.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL4.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL5.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL6.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL7.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL8.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL9.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVELB.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVELC.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVELE.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVELG.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVEL0.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/SPREXP.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/TITUS.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/TITRE.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/MENU.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/LEVELA.SQZ
OpenTitus/titus/FONTS.SQZ

Please, double check if you got all files in the right location.

- Now copy the entire 'OpenTitus' folder to your SD card. 'sdmc:/3ds/'

If you've been using an older release before, make sure to replace all files.
For example; ttf_music.bin has been moved to the titus folder, to match the OpenTitus builds for other platforms.

cheers

I got working now, thanks

Thank you for your work.
I want to change the controls, so I edited key bindings in ./include/globals.h, then got below error when compiling.
What should I do?
I'm using WSL Ubuntu 22.04.

There have been a lot of changes in both libctru and sdl 1.2 for 3ds.
This port has to be updated before being able to be compiled with the latest libraries.

One of the changes, is how the controls are handled. So if it does compile, the controls won't be recognized as-is.

I do want to revisit this some time, i've learned a lot about the do and don'ts when porting stuff since then.

Some of the things i've been wanting to add;

- re-mappeble controls
- saving the last found password
- confirm on exit, instead of just exiting right away
- aspect ratio options
- a single build for old / new3DS

Looking at the log you've provided i probably messed up the includes somewhere, and didn't rebuild from scratch.
I'll do my best to try and get it compiled again.

After some research, it seems latest gcc don't allow multiple definitions.
Since i'm a noob, i don't know how to downgrade the gcc version or get it to work on the newest gcc verion.
Really hoping for the new release with the functions you mentioned!
