I gave it a try years ago, and it started and showed some stuff, but then it didn't work properly. It's safe to assume it was caused by endianess issues, and fixing all of them might be quite tedious (especially if you're new to this :)).

How about a quick guide for setting up ScummVm for code modification and compiling? ;)


I guess I'll have to stick with playing Heart of the Alien on my Sega CD emulator for the classic XBOX. Of course I do have it for BeOS, but thus far it will not run under Haiku.

Endianness issues resolved apparently:

(Executable doesn't work on MorphOS, unfortunately.)

Works (mostly) on my C64/Turbo Chameleon (Minimig). Only the intro animation audio is out of sync.

I was just about to post the very same thing. Anyone up to the task for an MorphOS port?

Here is a quick recompile of the sources (with few minimal changes)

If anyone can confirm if this works, I can release it "properly" later. Please don't put it on aminet etc. yet, I'd rather have a "proper" release there, with icon, readme and stuff.

Already compiled this long ago, but back then, there were some rather nasty glitches in the intro sequence already, so didn't think it was worth releasing.

i donwload ISO and test it, thanks.

so, i see Intro of game, no sound
then i see code entry or name.
but nothing happen.

What are keys to play game ? thanks

Did you see the readme bundled with the source?

I guess there's something wrong with the current version anyway. And seems that the intro glitches are still there. (just had time to get it running today myself)

yes, i touch all key...
space = To speed up the display
escape = to quit

But I can not play.

game/actio/HeartOfTheAlienRedux.lha says:
- MOVE = cursor arrows
- RUN/FIRE = Z key
- ROPE = X key
- JUMP = C key
- BOMB = X+C key or B key
- PASSWORD = SPACE key on continue screen
- JOY BUTTONS SWITCH = SPACE key in game
- PAUSE = P key
- QUIT = ESC key

ok thks
but nothing happen lol

i copy all files (.BIN mention into GUIDE) from ISO into directory with "alien"

i launch alien
Intro.... long intro... (it's possible to jump the intro ?)
next Ask-me a sort of code, i select OK and press C
Next screen i see a black man lol but noithing happen with differents keys

Resurrecting this old thread because I am facing the same issue with beworld: 1) No sound / music either with iso+mp3 combo AND with the .RAW audio files from EAB's classic amiga port, 2) No character on opening/first in game set in order to move/progress.

EDIT: Same resources play 100% fine under emulation (e-uae).

Has anyone successfully managed to setup the game on MorphOS?

Made some brief tests and excuting from cli alien --iso --double --sprite-test results to panic: load_room failed. Running alien --iso --double --room 2 indeed starts from another room but the character flashes and dissapears when moving right.

By clicking the executable and using the .bin files, the game is stuck on 1st screen since protagonist is nowhere to be found.

If others still haven't been able to run properly the game, I think the port should be removed from morphos storage.
