some time back I started to write a little program, which allows you to quickly start a

zipped amiga whdload game without any trouble. I never was too happy with the results,

as e-uae fullscreen mode never was good enough and therefore I never released it.

Recently things changed surprisingly:
Frode Solheim released his oustandling uae fork fs-uae

It works so good, that I decided to slightly modify my old whdrunner and release it,
so other linux people can finally launch their whdload games
(i hope from typhon) too

requirements:
tinyxml, fs-uae, unzip

for fs-uae: an amiga kickstart, whdload games, ideally a whdload key

The very short installation and configuration is very easy to handle,
but I also provide a little howto in the included readme.
patches/suggestions welcome as always.

So happy downloading and playing!

changes:
0.52 - fixed several glitches (README, fs-uae.conf, code cleanups)
0.51 - quick hotfix
0.50 - initial release

DOWLOAD:
whdrunner-0.52.tar.gz – source tarball of the program
whdrunner_dh0.tar.gz – the required amiga system “dh0″

old:
whdrunner-0.51.tar.gz
whdrunner-0.5.tar.gz

currently I’m working on a major rewrite of the typhon code.
harleaquin started to write a mighty class, which I’m about to implement.
when done we’ll have much cleaner code, more flexibility, and xml configs.
I won’t commit any changes to svn before this is completely done.
The first few commits will allow you to migrate your old config files into the new structure on the fly, but the old config handling will be removed in the near future.
no idea when we are done with this, but it’ll rock :}
until then have fun with r212

merry xmas to everybody!
I’ve got no release tarball for you, but recent changes in svn improved typhon a lot.
finally ps3 p3ts (no dynamic btw) also work on 64bit systems thanks to fixes by harleaquin.
ftgl no longer is a dependency. using the font classes of the mighty gource program, opengl and freetype is enough. apart from that
font handling in general is much better than before.
I also fixed lots of bugs. f.e. a huge memoryleak in the shaderhandling.
And last but not least (I’m sure I forgot a lot to mention though)
mouse picking works very good now :}

I also updated the gentoo typhon-9999.ebuild in the gamerlay overlay of course to match the new dependencies.
have fun!

I decided to migrate typhon to sfml. So starting with svn r112 I dropped several old dependencies, but also some features.
Migration is not completely done yet, but you’re welcome to test, report and send patches.
For further details read the Changelog or
the svn log

so I finally opened a typhon facebook page – feel free to like it
typhon on facebook

apart from that I’m working on some major changes in typhon.
Major cleanups, dropped vineo code in favor of opencv for videoplaying, added webcam support, improved mmd model support and much more.
in case opencv will have png alpha channel support one day, I’ll also drop devIL. more to come – stay tuned.
too tired and soon too drunk to blog more today :}
cheers!

I added mikumikudance model and motion support into typhon in typhon svn using the mighty libmmd.
It is and will be optional of course.
miku support comes with model/motion selector, own settingsmenu, mousepicking and all settings go into the theme config.
If we succeed with the our libkinecto I’ll also add kinect controls for miku. I’m sure this will be a lot of fun
