v0.9.2

Native port of the J2ME action RPG Heroes Lore: Wind of Soltia, rebuilt from the original bytecode in C++17 with SDL2.

The game is not included. Every package needs your own copy of the original J2ME .jar (the English release is preferred). Russian is selected in Options.

What's new

  • Nintendo DS: new platform with its own front end for the original DS (4 MB RAM) at 60 FPS. Boss arenas span both screens; HUD, dialogue and touch menus are on the bottom screen; music plays on the DS sound hardware.
  • 3DS: dialogue, Yes/No questions and messages moved to the bottom screen with the speaker's face; the title menus are on the bottom screen with touch, the logo with falling feathers stays on top; the original STAT plate on the MENU button while attribute points wait.
  • Headings are drawn in the original large font with its outline; Russian headings no longer show hollow letters.
  • Modern menus: the trading post keeps its frame for the quantity and confirmation step.

Notes

  • Music plays through an embedded GeneralUser GS subset. On Windows, Linux, Switch, Vita and PortMaster a full GeneralUser-GS.sf2 next to the .jar is used instead.
  • Nintendo DS: music comes from a small instrument bank made from GeneralUser GS; .sf2 files are not used.
  • 3DS and PSP render at 30 FPS; game logic keeps the original tick rate on every platform.
  • PlayStation Vita: overclocking is recommended.
  • A 3DS .cia is not provided; see docs/build/3ds-cia.md to build one.
  • Build instructions: README.
