The game looks incredible! You can clearly tell he loves Thunder Dragon 2
I can't believe this is running on a WonderSwan!

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
That's really impressive, considering the platform. I wonder if it will be available to buy as a ROM download as well since I don't have a WonderSwan/Crystal.

On a similar note, what are the options for people who don't have a WonderSwan (which I imagine is most people)?donluca wrote:That's really impressive, considering the platform. I wonder if it will be available to buy as a ROM download as well since I don't have a WonderSwan/Crystal.

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
There is a Download section to the website so I feel confident that it won't be physical-only.
I will probably buy a Wonderswan if a physical edition is released, though.

The demo comes with a PC version. Final is undetermined beyond a wonderswan cart+box.

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
Making a shmup exclusive to an obscure platform is fair. Making a demo of a shmup for an obscure platform and PC and no final release for PC is just animal cruelty (even though I totally understand it, I really do.)
When you ruin some enemy, add to score points.

Buy a SwanCrystal for sure. Much better screen.CStarFlare wrote:I will probably buy a Wonderswan if a physical edition is released, though.

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
The WonderSwan is not all that obscure and acquiring one is fairly simple, at least until the pricegougers ruin that too. There's also a lot of cool things on the WonderSwan worth owning, like Ogre Battle Gaiden, the Digimon Tamers, Dicing Knight. (which is unfortunately prohibitly expensive though for good reason), etc. This is not like the Neo Geo, but more like the Dreamcast. If you can get your hands on a Flash Masta...
Rage Pro, Rage Fury, Rage MAXX!

cool , wonderswan shmups
Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
I posted in the other thread, very much looking forward to this.
Here is the link for the WS flash card, keep an eye on the page for stock updates chaps and don't keep missing the chance to buy one like I do (N.B. last batch sold out).
https://www.flashmasta.com/category/won ... lash-cart/
Ultimately hoping for a final product in WS cart form.
In the meantime will the demo will work in Oswan?
I take it that I will have to use a work around for the PC version to run on the Mac (WineBottler)?

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
Wine and similar should work just fine. The ROM will not work in Oswan, I use hardware tricks it doesn't support. I believe mednafen supports them though.

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
I've not been following the development, but I seem to recall that retroarch runs natively on Mac and there are tons of cores, there must be a WonderSwan one.Coryoon wrote:I take it that I will have to use a work around for the PC version to run on the Mac (WineBottler)?
Otherwise, another solution would be OpenEmu, similar to retroarch, but, IIRC, made solely for the Mac platform.
Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
Please do not use RetroArch. I'm pretty sure their mednafen version is too old anyways.

Thanks, I just d/l a version of mednafen and tested a couple of Romz.trap15 wrote:Wine and similar should work just fine. The ROM will not work in Oswan, I use hardware tricks it doesn't support. I believe mednafen supports them though.

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
Looks awesome, can't wait and will purchase the physical product.
Also, will the romz file work on the Flash Masta cart without a patch Trap15?

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
Yes it works on flashmasta, otherwise there wouldn't really be a point of releasing a demo ROM

Interesting. So OpenEmu might actually be a better solution on Mac? https://openemu.org/trap15 wrote:Please do not use RetroArch. I'm pretty sure their mednafen version is too old anyways.
And, by the way, I've checked and it has a WonderSwan core from Mednafen.
Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
This is great and the pixel art given the restrictions is really impressive.
Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
Looking forward to this. Looks good!

Thank you, and congratulations on the release... my Flash Masta will be here next week. This will be the first thing I write to it!trap15 wrote:The demo is out! http://firelancer.ws/

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
It's not a rom?

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
I'm assuming from the imgs in the html/manual, that the 1:1 pixel perfect resolution is 144x224 (EDIT: Wonderswan rez, duh)?
I'm still working on creating a go-to 224p custom resolution on the PC (help?), but the game looks really cool on Portrait Mode in 1080p. Not fully fullscreen, but pretty.
I'll find some CRT justice yet.

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
Should the pc version be running at 75fps?
It vsyncs at 144hz and runs really fast. I'm assuming for people using 60hz monitors it's vsyncing at 60fps, but the wonderswan is 75hz isn't?
I want to make sure I'm not capping the framerate too low or too high.

Re: Fire Lancer (SwanCrystal / WonderSwanColor)
It runs at 60fps on wonderswan, and that's how your pc should run it.
