ADFFS 2.61 released

ADFFS 2.61 is now available from the JASPP site. 259 games now run on the Pi, 216 of which are unique.

To date, the project has released 65 previously commercial titles, of which 56 are unique. In total 377 commercial games were released for the Archimedes and/or RiscPC.

The amount of effort you have put in to this project is amazing. And the end result is being able to play otherwise forgotten games on the Pi generation of computers.

I doff my cap to you sir!

Jon,
Given the sheer quantity of games that you have made available to the RISC OS 5 community, I was wondering what your plans are after once you feel JASPP is a complete project?
Do you have any ambitions to work on the source of RISC OS itself?

I doff my cap to you sir!

Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated.

I was wondering what your plans are after once you feel JASPP is a complete project?

I do not believe it will be complete in my lifetime, there’s around 200 games to archive or source and around 300 that permission needs to be sought. Then there’s the games I have sourcecode for, that are pending 32 bit conversion.

Do you have any ambitions to work on the source of RISC OS itself?

I have no ambitions to work on RISCOS.

Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated.

No thank you for all the hard work and effort so we can continue to play these games. And even bigger congrats for your amazing work on Zarch 2.0 (the reboot) :-) Love how it looks.

I have no ambitions to work on RISCOS.

That’s a shame.

Be aware that quite a few games JASPP has released, fail under ADFFS 2.61 with RISC OS builds beyond 20th Aug 2017. ADFFS 2.62 resolves this and will be released soon.

As a temporary workaround, run !ZeroPain, which is bundled with the OS build.

Ah, The new compatibility page?

CVS says:

and a warning message if the memory is interpreted as a string.

My new mission in life – to hack the code base and replace whatever it says with: The Great God of OFLA is laughing at YOU, puny human.
