A fun little fly the plane around game ported to the GBA.
Screenshots and downloads over here:

Still need to finish the enemy AI, but for now, you can blow up the buildings!

ok that was way easier than I thought it would be, you now have the option of playing against enemy planes. See above link for downloads.

Could you please post the source code to this? The sopwith source is under the GPL: read the FAQ if you arent familiar with it.
#18372 - josath - Thu Mar 25, 2004 2:49 am
sure, here's a tarball of the source directory. it's got some messy hacks in the make files and stuff, so no guarentees it will even compile for you:

Thanks :) I did send you an email about this but I didnt receive any response.
It would be really cool if this could be cleaned up a bit and then I could merge it into the SDL Sopwith main CVS tree.

sorry about not replying to the email, i have a pretty strict spam filter on that email account that grabs the occasional false positive

okay i'm new, but is it possible to change the .bin file to a .gba file because i can't use it in pogoshell. it just doesn't work.
thanks even if you can't
#18688 - Lupin - Thu Apr 01, 2004 12:37 am
uhm, there is no difference between .bin or .gba
Actually you can name your files as you want, the gba will just read the data, the filename only matters for pogoshells file system

I also recommend .gba over .bin because it allows you to have both Sega Genesis and GBA programs associated to emulators, .bin being a common extension for Genesis ROMs.

okay, i changed the .bin file to .gba and it worked once when i flashed it, but when i flashed it again with some other games on it with pogoshell it just went to a blank white screen. what am i doing wrong?

Putting those ROMs inm the same folder is kinda foolish :P

You may need to fix the header...try using FAT v8 to do so.... http://www.gbaemu.com

In the Microsoft Windows operating system's shell, "association" is not folder-wise but rather global across an installation of Windows. If you have .bin associated to Gens (a Sega Genesis emulator) on a particular Windows installation, double-clicking any .bin file in any folder on any drive will launch Gens, even within c:/games/gba/. I keep .gb, .gbc, .gba, and .mb associated to VisualBoyAdvance and .bin to a Genesis emulator.

Don't associate bin files :P

or, you could always do right click->open with->[gba emulator || genesys emulator]
#18765 - greenbayrules - Sun Apr 04, 2004 3:46 pm
Is this for my problem? and if so, where is it on the sight, i can't find it.
#18766 - yaustar - Sun Apr 04, 2004 4:02 pm
Not sure if it is the problem but anything is worth trying once :P http://207.44.176.77/~admin28/gbaemu/fatools.htm

i used it to trim the 00 because it couldn't do anything else, but when i flashed it in pogoshell it was still just a blank white screen on my gameboy.
but thanks anyways. it was worth a try.
#18770 - josath - Sun Apr 04, 2004 8:54 pm
has anyone else got it to work on a real gameboy? I've only tested it in emulators. It may be something wrong with the code itself, incompatible with the quirks of real hardware.

I've just been playing it on the real thing! The only thing that doesn't work on hardware is the sound. Everything else is spot on.
#18898 - greenbayrules - Wed Apr 07, 2004 9:37 pm
were you playing it in pogoshell v1.3? cause that's wat i tried using it on and it only worked the 3rd time i tried it.
#26082 - chromax - Tue Sep 07, 2004 11:35 am
Great game. I know all classic games from the C64 and AMIGA but this I never played.
It is great and the gba version is well programmed.
It needs a Remake with modern graphics. So when you have time... ;-)
I had to rename the bin into gba to play it on the X-ROM Flashcard...

I like the .gba extension because it recognizes it as a gba rom. for genesis, there's .bin and .smd, which are different formats (one's interleaved?) I have .gba associated with an emulator, so I can open the zip file and double click it, opposed to dragging the .bin to my desktop, renaming it, then double clicking. it's so much easier to use window's built in association feature, why not use it?
