The new web site and forums will be announced as soon as we will get organized. Please keep your eyes on both -- felixl.org forums and boob forums.

I'm happy to let everyone know that Felix ( author of ChooDo ) is joining the Icarus Dev. Team. He is a very skilled developer and will be working on Dynamic Recompilation among other things..

 

So everyone please welcome him and expect to hear from him in the forum.

. Its very true that a commercial game was running over 2 years ago. Sadly my life has been mostly on hold since then, and I agree it is very disappointing no release has been made.

 

However you have of course got Chanka now which is good news for those of you in the wait - and do of course note that a lot of help has been provided by Zezu, Ector, and Felix to this project, so its not as if Icarus has had no impact on other emus.

 

The fact is in one's life, you do have to prioritise and getting a degree is kind of important. There is work going on with Icarus, and my exams are finishing soon... I really do hope to make a release as soon as possible (perhaps the summer but lets see how things go).

 

Chanka is great and since it is out there, there aren't any real obstacles for an Icarus release anymore.

 

It does disappoint me when people describe Icarus as a sad story - yes it is sad it hasnt been released, and maybe an early release was a good idea in retrespect, since ever since expectations have grown. However I would like to reiterate that when Icarus was started very little was known about the dc and thus the reverse engineering was that much more demanding. Chanka is excellent, and has in part been aided by experience / knowledge gained from Icarus, so in this sense Icarus isnt overall a sad thing imo.

 

Understand that in the emu scenes a lot of collaboration occurs, and so you cant necessarily treat them as totally distinct projects.

 

--------------------

 

 

Depends how things go... by what ector says it is pretty fast now but since chanka has sound we'd probably need to get that working too and compat to sort out.

 

--------------------

 

 

I believe Crazy Taxi is near full-speed (but I dont know since I havent played with newest Icarus due to exams), presumably on a ~2ghz comp.

I'll let you know post-thursday

 

Well sound isnt too much of a problem since there have been some new docs around recently (which sadly we didnt have for the last 3 yrs! so things are more doable a bit more quickly now. Chanka guys have ector's gfx code already, so im sure if we have probs with it we can always get some help in return if needed.
