Author:       NovaCoder
Uploader:     novacoder yahoo co uk
Type:         game/strat
Version:      0.9.044
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.1.0
Distribution: Aminet

Overview:

OpenDUNE is an open source re-creation of the popular game "Dune II",
originally made by Westwood Studios, and released by Virgin Entertainment.
It attempts to re-create the original game and apply modern technology to it
to allow it to be run natively on most operating systems.


Requirements:

1) An RTG Amiga.
2) 68060 processor or better (PiStorm recommended).
3) AHI installed and configured.
4) CAMD library installed and configured (if using native MIDI playback).
5) A copy of the PC game data files (must be version 1.07).


Features:

 * SDL 1.2 based port using my own library
 * MIDI support (GM/MT-32)
 * Fullscreen and window mode support
 * 32-bit scaler support


Configuration Options:

Workbench must be using a 32-bit pixel format screen mode if you want to
use a 32-bit scaler.
You must specify a stack of at least 300,000.
Check CONTROLS.txt for the controls.
Any errors/warnings should be written to the log file.


Performance Considerations:

1) Fast File System isn't, use PFS3 instead.
2) Use v4.18 of AHI as the later versions are too slow.
3) If you are using Paula try using the 'FAST' audio AHI modes.


Limitations:

1) None.
