---------
To run REminiscence, you'll need a copy of the data files from the DOS version
of Flashback.
I do not know where you can get it (google it?!)
Maybe checkout the PSP port...
Required:
---------
* SDL runtime for S60 http://koti.mbnet.fi/mertama/sdl.html
* Game data files
+ Game music files from amiga, mods (optional)
mods have to be in the correct names (check treestructure.txt for them)
a batch file (renamemods.bat) is supplied to help rename the files from amiga.
* Ability to install Selfsigned apps on the phone
To install:
-----------
* Install the SDL on the phone
* Create FLASHDATA folder in the root of the memory Card (Has to be E drive on the phone)
* Inside the FLASHDATA dir create a SAVES dir
* copy all the data files to FLASHDATA
+ copy the renamed mods to FLASHDATA (optional)
* install the "sis" file
Controls: (when looking in portrait orientation, the game itself is played
in landscape orientation)
---------
D-Pad - Move left, right, up, or down
Middle button of D-Pad - Enter (Use object)
C - Backspace (Inventory / exit from a cinematic scene)
App button above - Space (Take out / put back gun)
the green button (answer call)
Pencil - Shift (Operate / run / take)
App 2 button above
the red button (drop call) - Esc (Game options)
Long jump - Hold Pencil + left/right, release left/right and then push up
High jump - Hold Pencil + left/right and then release left/right anytime before you get to an edge
(he only jumps if ledge is within reach, required on 2nd level)
Note: !!! Recomended to use MagicKey for key mappings !!!
Known issues:
-------------
* No proper Icon
* No Password input (Use save states)
* No compression of saves and replays (as in the original)
* because of no compression the save files from other platforms are
not compatible
* No mirror mode
* no fast mode
* Not going to work on s60v5 (no keys!) for those who do have keys
Like the n97 crowd no guaranties that it will install at all.

Its cool!!! This is the final version or will update?
ReplyDeleteIf there will be request for fixes or addons I will update it.
ReplyDeleteOn my smartphone is missing key Pencil, why not get in the long jump and run. MagicKey be unnecessary software on my smartphone, how to do that would use a pencil instead of 0, without a program MagicKey? And there will be any more new ported games?)
ReplyDeleteWhich model phone you have ?
ReplyDeleteRight now working on porting Heart of the Alien.
Heart of the Alien is a good game, but if I'm not mistaken, it's already on Symbian 9 and 6,7,8 ... Smartphone c5. There's no pencil key. You're a very talented programmer, I'll wait your new port. Do you have ICQ?
ReplyDeleteThere is Another world for Symbian Heart of an Alien is basically "Another world 2" which was only released for SegaCD.
ReplyDeleteSorry no icq.
Will fix the pencil problem.
Ronen K and except for Heart of an Alien you have other plans for how some games that you want to port to symbian? Sorry for many questions.
ReplyDeleteFix now Available that fixes the 0 key see the main page of the blog
ReplyDeleteThere are some games, I see several engines that can be ported Betrayal at krondor maybe Heart Of Darkness and others.
Hi Ronen
DeleteI don't know if you are still making ports of old pc games for symbian but if could do Betrayal at Krondor (which is a classic and one of the best rpgs ever) that would be super awesome. Like you said it could work with the engine that BAK has, the controls are fairly simple as well and I think it just be really cool to play this epic game on symbian phone. The game works on dosbox but it's rather unplayable (you have play without the sound and it's still laggy). If you could do that you're the best, if not well you're still the man. cheers mate and greetings from Poland!
It remains to be going to watch for changes in the blog ... thanks for the new version of the game. I wish you success in porting.
ReplyDeleteThere is Another world for Symbian Heart of an Alien is basically "Another world 2" which was only released for SegaCD..thanks for sharing here..
