Metal Gear

Descrizione

Metal Gear (Konami, MSX2, 1987) as a native Haiku game. The original program is rewritten in C++, so it plays exactly like the MSX version: the same rooms, enemies, bosses, radio calls, passwords and ending. No emulator is involved.

On top of that: HD room tiles made from your own ROM, a smooth picture at any window size or full screen, no sprite flicker, enhanced music on real instruments (or the original sound, also with the SCC voices), smooth room changes, stereo, and a settings window (F6). Saving works as in the original, to a tape image that MSX emulators can read.

The game ROM is not included: the game asks for it on the first start. Use a dump of a cartridge you own, build it from the annotated disassembly (github.com/GuillianSeed/MetalGear) or download a rom from https://download.file-hunter.com/Games/MSX2/ROM/

English, Japanese, French, Russian and Remix versions are supported.

Optional HD tiles: /boot/system/apps/MetalGear/tools/make_hd.sh (needs python3.10 with numpy, scipy and Pillow).

Tested on Haiku R1/beta6 x86_64 (hrev59866+92).
