OpenTyrian is an excellent port for Android of an awesome PC classic. The controls could be better, but in general, it's a really enjoyable game.I'm also using vista, if that would effect anything. Something Very Strange Happens, if i'm at data cube scene, I think the game thinks I'm pressing the arrow keys, and it just scrolls through the text. Just after pressing Quit, the game crashes and DOSBox stops responding. It doesn't even respond to Ctrl+F9 or Ctrl+F10. The only way to close it is press the windows key and force it close from task manager.Ĭouple alterations to my above config, use DirectDraw instead of OGL, use GUS drivers/pro patches for better performance/sound quality. If you grab the old patch to fix the cycle ceiling on games like Tyrian you can set cycles to Auto to eliminate all slowdowns completely. P4 3.00GHz HT, PC3200 1024MB dual channel RAM TYRIAN 2000 STORY PATCH Near perfect run, even Destruct mode! ( 22:12)Įven using D-fend frontend to automate some configuration I've been able to get it to run great.Ĥ0000 cycles dynamic, 0 frameskip, ogl render, 63mb limit + EMS/XMS. SB16 emu, 44.1KHz sample/opl rate, 100 prebuff, block size down to 512 to help with music slowdown and FX lag (to test difference, test blocksizes in setup's jukebox compared to normal setup screen). Music slowdowns still occur in high-draw areas. Game settings to FM Sound, Soundblaster for FX, Pentium detail. Runs perfectly smooth in "light beam" levels like Assassin or in Lord of the Game difficulty. In addition, setting buffer from 10 to 100 corrects music interruptions. Those who are complaining about performance issues can try setting core to dynamic and cycles to auto. Runs perfectly on my 3GHz CPU on High detail setting This is the only config that runs the game smoothly on my p4 1.6 ghz, 256 mb ram, win xp. You might also want to try the hidden 'Laptop VGA' detail setting. Go to Setup.exe and highlight the Detail setting. Press 'W', it should now be in Wild mode. Start the game, and in-game press Esc and highlight the Detail setting again, but his time press the left arrow key. You should now have a detail mode between medium-high detail that works great even on my 25MHz 386. I have no idea why this is a hidden option, really. On high detail and 15000 cycles with my 2Ghz AMD, 512 RAM it runs fine except for one thing: the mini-game you get by typing "destruct" at the title screen.
