Thanks, retrofaza, great port. On AROS One, I’ve created a simple graphical interface that will allow you to play the four official chapters of Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 2 Plutonia and Doom 2 TNT.

Hi,
Silly question, where can I get the SDL 2 include/lib from? I was reading the previous posts here and it seems it's still incomplete (no OpenGL?) or am I wrong?

SDL2 is in the contrib repository

If you've built your system from source, as described here:
https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-cross-compile-aros-hosted-wsl/

then, from the core-linux-x86_64-d directory, enter the following:

make contrib-sdl2
make contrib-sdl2-sdl-ttf
make contrib-sdl2-sdl-image
make contrib-sdl2-sdl-mixer

and you’ll have SDL2 built

Hi Ultima fans (if there is any ),
I have ported Exult 1.12.1 to AROS x86_64 ABIv11!

Exult is a project to recreate Ultima 7 for modern operating systems, using the game's original plot, data, and graphics files.

Directories have been created to host the game files, all you need to do is copy the "static" and "gamedat" directories to the right place:

blackgate - Ultima 7 The Black Gate only
forgeofvirtue - Ultima 7 The Black Gate + Forge of virtues
serpentisle - Ultima 7 The Serpent Isle only
serpentbeta - Ultima 7 The Serpent Isle beta version
silverseed - Ultima 7 The Serpent Isle + The Silver Seed

and start exult

Enhanced music (MIDI and OGG) is already included, you can download other mods from https://exult.sou...nload.html

If you want to play Ultima6 Remake v1.3 (lives as a mod for The Black Gate) you need to delete from Ultima6v1.3.cfg this three lines:
<required_version>
1.13.1git
</required_version>
or use the 1.2 version downloadable from: https://www.ultim...com/?p=525

The port is waiting to be published on AROS archives

Hi again,
I have fixed some problems with ScummVM and OpenGL (for example using OpenGL fullscreen will crash on exit) under SDL2 so I took the chance to update ScummVM SDL2 to 2026.3.0 that was released couple of days ago that support some new games and have some fixes:

Newly Supported Games:

Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel
Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island
Noctropolis
Cartoon Carnival
Alfred Pelrock: En Busca de un Sueño
Pilot Brothers: On the Track of Striped Elephant
Pilot Brothers: The Case of Serial Maniac and 5 more games on the same engine

more info here: https://downloads...Notes.html

Also this is a brief update on what was fixed and some caveats I noted.

Fixes:
- Fixed crash when quitting using OpenGL and fullscreen
- Fixed "gray screen" problem when switching from SDL Surface to OpenGL and go fullscreen
- Fixed crash when switching from OpenGL to SDL Surface when in fullscreen
- Fixed some crashes with Ultima VI engine

Caveats:
- If you want to play Escape from Monkey Island (monkey4) please use ResidualVM, under ScummVM monkey4 engine is bugged and disabled.
- If you want to play Ultima VI, avoid using "new style" engine setting or it will crash (it is an engine related problem).

File is already submitted to AROS archives

Grazie!

Hi to all strategic/management games fans,
I have ported Augustus 4.0.0 and Julius 1.8.0 to AROS! (the latest release version available)

What is Julius?
Julius is a fully working open-source version of Caesar 3, with the same logic as the original, but with some UI enhancements, that can be played on multiple platforms.

Julius will not run without the original Caesar 3 files. You can buy a digital copy from GOG or Steam, or you can use an original CD-ROM version.

The goal of the project is to have exactly the same game logic as Caesar 3, with the same look and feel. This means that the saved games are 100% compatible with Caesar 3, and any gameplay bugs present in the original Caesar 3 game will also be present in Julius.

What is Augustus?
Augustus is a fork of the Julius project that intends to incorporate gameplay changes.

Augustus is able to load Caesar 3 and Julius saves, however saves made with Augustus will not work outside Augustus.

Gameplay enhancements include:

Roadblocks
Market special orders
Global labour pool
Partial warehouse storage
Increased game limits
Zoom controls
And more!

How do I play Caesar III with Augustus or Julius?
Just copy all the game files under the Caesar3 folder to the Caesar3 AROS folder or just do the opposite, then start Augustus or Julius.

Known issues:
Augustus has external assets that needs to be loaded before start, so is slower than Julius, also on a particularly overloaded system sound may crackle.
Overall Julius is faster and lighter so is better use for very (very) slow systems.

Enjoy!

I liked playing Caesar II & III. I'll give it a try! Thanks!!

Oh I loved Ceasar III! Thanks a lot!

Great!

Not related to a particular game, but is there support for the SDL gfx library? I saw on AROS Archive there is a very old version, but it looks it was built for the old AROS 32 bit...
