I recorded a quick video showing the MorphOS version today:

I'm geting message saying that I need ixemul library 57.00

Where can I find it, and where to install it once downloaded?

Huh?

Yeeeaaahh.. Those instructions for joystick control dont work for me. My joystick is recognized by Posiedon but in the game, nothing.

I have already bought "Tower 57" and run on my PowerBookG4 with MorphOS 3.9. Game looks well, works well and fast on window and fullscreen 1440x960 24-bit and 16-bit. However in 24-bit mode I see strange artifacts - blinking short horizontal lines. In 16-bit mode there are no artifacts and game looks great.

Does someone know what is reason of the problem? In MorphOS Monitor Preferencs I have standard "Color LCD" and on test screen 1440x960 24-bit the artifacts are not visible. On my Ambient (1440x960 24-bit) these artifacts also don't occur.

I made several screenshot but the artifacts are not visible on screenshots. :) Everything looks very good on screeshots. However on screen I see these short horizontal blinking lines.

I notices something interesting. If I run "Tower 57" on 24-bit screen and switch to Ambient screen, these lines are visible on Ambient too. If I close game, Ambient looks good again.

Is it a hardware problem of my PowerBookG4? Why the problem occurs only if I launch "Tower 57"?

That sounds like some kind of hw/driver issue.

It’s a driver issue.

Thank you for the info. Is it known issue? So I won't try to fix it. :)
Do you know if the the issue occurs on MorphOS 3.10?

I have just updated MorphOS to 3.10 (PowerBookG4/1,67) and... the artifacts gone! Tower57 works on 1440x960 24-bit works great.

Thank you MOSTeam for update drivers! :)

Hey, just bought the game, unzipped, clicked launch nothing happens. Clicking the 2 Tower 57 executables on the sub folder doesn't do anything as well.
Snoopium reports that Background CLI [shellppc.prefs] and updater_mos [IXPPCSTACK] both fail (from the executable of the sub folders). On the main launcher additionally C:IconX window/stack/usershell/wait/delay fails. This is on MorphOS 3.9. Any ideas?

Hmm, works nicely here,

Do you have executable protection bit (e) set for these files:
Tower57_Game/Tower57/Tower57_MOS
Tower57_Game/Tower57/Tower57_MOS_16bit
Tower57_Game/Tower57/updater_mos

Have you install Mos 3.10 SDK for MOS 3.9 ?

@jPV If you mean the excutable attribute on the icon info tab it's ticked for every file you listed. I opened on scrible the script (launch icon) and when double clicking I get notification from scrible that the file has changed. So, for sure it is read on. As a matter of fact every file when double clicking reads the hd on the drivelaps screen module.

@beworld Don't have the SDKinstalled If you mean about the iexmul library I am using the one from latest MorphOS (3.10). Did a flushlib and reverted to old iexemul just to be certain but nothing changed.

Daniel helped me to get the game going :) The updater seemed to fail, so just by renaming (or deleting) updater_mos file the game launched (although I won't be able to update in case of a newer version, someone should pack it from me :P). The error was due to T: not mapping properly into ram: because of my setup. The error could affect also OS4 versions of other games developed/ported from Daniel, so leave your setups as intatc as possible :P

"The error was due to T: not mapping properly into ram: because of my setup."
There's nothing "not properly" about your mapping

Let me clarify this a bit:

The T: issue was just a wild guess by me because I remembered that once somebody reported sth. similar on AOS4 ages ago (might even have been with a different game). There, IIRC, this was caused by a constallation of T: being mapped to another partition with a "non-standard" file-system which apparently didn't play nicely with the file-attributes being modified which then caused following IDOS->System calls on files I placed there to fail in such a hard way that things got totally blocked.

So it was just a shot in the dark, and luckily for Cool_AmigaN it was a hit
However I didn't further investigate yet what exactly is the cause on MOS. Note that I was able to workaround the issue on AOS4 by doing some changes to the IDOS->System parameters, so it would not happen on AOS4 anymore (at least not on the system of the guy who reported it).

Luckily this issue is really rare in real world, those two reports are the only ones I ever got regarding this on any Amiga OS variant.

I actually bought this game three days ago!! I LOVE IT! I LOVE THE IDEA of buying new MorphOS applications and especially games! I feel like my ibook G4 is a brand new console all over again! Are there new MorphOS games or applications I can buy?

MorphOS is way superior over AmigaOS 4.x in my humble opinion!
