> i don“t know if can be ported to morphos, i will test it for is possible or not

I rather meant running the AmigaOS3.x executable via Trance. But a version compiled for MorphOS would be even better of course. Toaks once tried to port it to OS4 and said:

"the engine has serious endian problems atm. it was one of my first ports to os4 and i never released because its just unplayable"

That may as well be the reason the OS3 version was never released.

> Out of this world (another world) and the sequel, heart of the alien.

Yes, that's what I said. It was you who said ""Heart Of The Alien" (AKA Another World)" before. I just corrected you on this.

I would crap kittens if this game was ported to MorphOS!

This had been ported to BeOS, but since BeOS died and Haiku was born from it's ashes, I've yet to be able to get it to run...

...on Haiku that is.

Seems it was not:

"the main issue I recall him having were endian based. [...] being that at the time neither of us were gurus and he still managed I dont expect it'd be too difficult."

Really? I thought the Megadrive was an 680XX based platform?

Don't ask me. I just quoted him ;-) But seeing as Fab confirms this I think we can safely assume it's true :-)

JJ is correct here. This engine is a reimplemented from scratch one, not the original. And while it's in C it was apparently written with a little-endian architecture in mind.
