Did some digging with find in my tracks folder and found this: http://sliderpoint.com/files/tracks/other/Alkazam.zip

I stated several times that I'd gladly help if we used an existing core (such as an open-source CMS, I don't know which one but I'm sure it's worth investigating) and expanded on that. Okay then, let's talk about it. Last time you didn't listen to our suggestions and as little as I experimented wit...

Yeah, it should but it just isn't. Whatever Ande says about the game mechanics haven't changed but there was noticeable difference on how the cars behaved on 1.0 and some more on 2.0.

I created a track pack with all the old tracks from Turbosliders 0.86 I still had on my computer. Quite a selection of tracks.. in bad and in good :D The trackmaking has come a long way since 1.0 was released. As all old timers know Turbo Sliders haven't been the same after 1.0 came and especially ...

I tried it too but didn't find the place where to install all the necessary runtime libraries.. so it didn't work for me. Hmm, I didn't do anything other than just install the Crossover Games and through it Turbo Sliders game and tada. There is a way to get OpenGL support for Darwine but it must be...

You know.. I'm running Turbo Sliders 2.0.0 Windows version under Mac OSX Leopard through Wine with no problems. Oh yeah, that really works. I also got the sound. As I understand OpenGL would need Crossover -software which costs money. Although the performance could be better because the car movemen...

O RLY?

I have used TS in 64bit Linux and wrote something about it, http://sliderpoint.com/ts-in-linux#64bit. Just some emulation libraries and your fine.

And I would like to have TS binaries for OS X or the source but you can't always get what you want

No news about the Mac version of Turbo Sliders?

Hmmm, I think that it could work also on OS X if Ande would compile the code on some other Unix-platform like FreeBSD or even on Darwin (the Unix behind OS X).

If I just had the source code so that I could (try to) compile it myself

You must be kidding...

I've written up a new blog, 'iBlaze² on Nov 08's DIT'. You write a blog entry not a new blog. I've also revamped the home page slightly, adding a clock and filling the dead space with some fish that follow your cursor around You may think that adding flash elements to web pages is great but your wr...

Woo \o/

All the beefs.

I liked better the Kobradog's Challenges (original dark tournament) where some of the drivers posted their times to the forum. Seeing some good times from others, and you where behind, you got more motivation to try harder.

Of course the DIT rules don't prohibit to post your times to the forum...

So why not trying to use the OpenGL?

Jeffrey wrote:This is the scenario:

You didn't bother to read what Ande just wrote, eh? Try the 2.0.0 without the alpha blending. And using direct draw in 1.0.8 and 2.0.0 are obviously not comparable.

I have to agree here with Mouse. Even though I don't have either of the wheels, but I've driven Prologue with G25 and Forza with MS wheel. Because X0 doesn't support any "real" driving feel, it makes Forza less of a good package than GT5&G25 combination. MS is peeing itself on a leg t...

But think about how much more players would we get if Turbo Sliders would be available on Xbox Arcade or that PS3 thing (don't remember the name)

So Hengari and Janne, no one is getting an unfair advantage. :wink: Keypads just feel more natural for some people. Phew, I knew that people can't read between the lines. When I said that "it's cheating" I mean't that the game is made so that it isn't possible to use those analog controls...

Analog buttons are cheating compared to playing with keyboard.

Just write an email to Jollygood games with proper information and I think that they will be able to resurrect your TS license.

Why do you need a version with static libraries?

Great! Both binaries run fine on my Gentoo desktop althought I did some symbolic linking with the libraries for the rc3-version. OpenGL gives me fps about 62 and SDL shows 111. With quick test I didn't notice any lagginess. Don't know about the audio, because I haven't used it for ages. About the Gl...
