cool! I have used OpenBOR before, good fun.
before I waste my time looking up outdated info. what is possible with this gameplay wise?
'Double Dragon 2 NES' style levels or Battletoads style hover bikes for example?
a nice link to what this thing can do would be great.

Edit: found the info i was looking for. Yes, DD2 NES/Battletoads style stuff is possible with OpenBOR

For favorite games, these are the ones I've played all of the way through and recommend (others I can recommend but haven't played too much)...

Bare Knuckle IV - Turn the Tide
Fighting Street
Marvel First Alliance 2
Night Slashers X
Simpsons Treehouse of Horror
Super Final Fight Gold Plus

Another one I have not tried but recommend - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Shell Shocked. Made by a guy named @White Dragon - if he won't plug his own work then I will. :)
 
He-Man looks AMAZING, like you're playing the cartoon. This screenshot doesn't do it justice, but...

He-Man DEMO - 0002.png

The complete version of Kill Bill works now, too, apparently it was using an oddball resolution, too.

EDIT - Hey, @White Dragon, I think I found a bug - if a pak has an ampersand (&) in its name, OpenBOR freezes on the splash screen. I had to rename a pak with a "&" in it, after that no more freezes.

Thanks but this is not a bug. Ampersand is an illegal character for some OS into filenames. If windows supports ampersand, it can be that other OS can't support it into dir and filenames.
In fact the code for windows is the same and it works well.
So just avoid it ;)

Hmm, maybe I have an older version. I'll try again.

I think a found an actual bug this time - if you save your settings as default, the next time you run OpenBOR it boots to a black screen. I did this 3 times, each time I deleted default.cfg and it worked again.

Sorry, fixed! Thanks for report this bug!

Do all of these games work on PS3?
 
Yeah, I had an older version.

@White Dragon, your mod is extremely impressive. Especially if it ever gets completed. :) I did noticed 2 things (may be PS3-only)...

- some slowdown in Beach level (still playable, but maybe not with more than 1 player)
- changing weapons with the Foot Soldier eventually caused an out-of-memory crash



Yes.

Thanks! I know these issues but 256 mb ram is really to low...
 
ON windows and Android it works very well!

I think I saw on Chrono Crash that you considered making a "lite" version of the mod...maybe that would work better on the PS3.

On the new build, the default.cfg problem is gone, but the splash screen no longer appears. But that might be a good thing, the loading time seems slightly better. More paks seem to increase the loading time - I have over 100 mods, but I only keep like 30 or so in the Paks folder.
