I've uploaded a new version here https://github.com/sonountaleban/AmiShockolate, now there are the debug and release executables for native AROS 64-bit inside the bin folder.

Hello,
I see you don't have any "res" folder there and that "data" folder (did you get it from the original cd version?) should be inside "res". In data folder there should be 51 files.

sonountaleban, thank you for porting System Shock. I successfully tested it with my AROS One 64Bit v1.2 on VMware in both VESA and Native Graphics modes. The only problem is that it temporarily changes the colours of the icon texts, and if you click on the icons in Wanderer, System Shock cr

That issue is the thing discussed earlier and the ideal is to have the full screen mode, which will be the next thing to implement.

Hello,
I've implemented roughly the full screen feature, however the game uses only NTSC resolutions (like 320x200, 640x400 and so on). My AROS installations (hosted and native with VM) open by default a 1024x768 screen and I see I can't modify the resolution actually (unless via GRUCool. I remember on classic Amiga there were those typical monitor drivers to support different resolutions, how to deal with this on AROS?

You should be able to change the resolution in Prefs/ScreenMode. On hosted, by default you get a back of different resolutions and you can open a new screen to any of these. On native you need a graphics driver for your card. From your description is sounds like you are using VESA driver in your VM and VESA supports only one resolution at a time. First enable vmware hardware in your VM and then boot using first grub option, which will autoselect the vmware driver.

Thanks. I gave a look and yes, there are several resolutions but low-res ones are missing. Is it possible to create a driver for 320x200 and the other missing resolution?
About the native installation, I use VirtualBox, not VMware.

In VirtualBox you can also select the VMWARE video driver in VM settings (I use VirtualBox as well)

With regards to resolutions - these are automatically detected by the driver, you can't add resolutions to driver and generally the lowest resolution on PCs will be 640x480.

Ok, but I remember I saw long time ago there were some games on AROS that were able to run on a low-res screen, am I wrong? How did they do?

Hmm, can't comment if there are such games,

The simples solution for them might be to actually open 640x480 screen and then scale up their rendering from 320x240 to 640x480. It still pixaled so you kind of get a feeling of low-res screen, but in reality it still 640x480.

Yeah, I'll do in that manner.

New version available in my repository https://github.com/sonountaleban/AmiShockolate.
I've added the fullscreen support, also a couple of shell arguments (SHOWFPS and DONTWAITTOF), respectively to show the frame rate information on screen (and console) and to allow the game to not wait the VBlank so that it can run at full speed.
On my machine now it runs at hundreds of FPS both in hosted and native installations.
