In my tests (and others are the same I think) the best you can get is corrupt graphics (looks like the pixel format is not supported) followed by it crashing after a few minutes. Looks like it would not be too hard for you to get it properly working....Thomas Frieden wrote:Heretic 2 is currently not supported on AmigaOS 4.1. It might run with the WarpUp emulation that is avaiable, but this is not officially supported.

But it's only a guess..
Many thanks for letting us know we should not get our hopes up.Thomas Frieden wrote:this is not likely to change.
Yes. The wrapper (presumably) provides all the functions provided by powerpc.library, handles the WarpOS argument-passing conventions (which is slightly different to the common powerpc ABI specification) and delegates any 68K code in the fat executable to the built-in 68K emulation (trance) and does a bit of housework in the middle of it all.nubechecorre wrote:Could anyone explain me how can this and all the others Hyperion's game run under MOS? Is there some kind of wrapper?
Yes. Take the above paragraph and substitute "MOS" for "OS4" and "trance" for "petunia" and that's pretty much what you have alreadyif so, could it possible to do the same under Amiga OS?
