Changes to mainline INSTEAD
- SDL1 support is reinstated
- API calls not accessible on older Windows are either removed or made optional
- Added extra settings that could improve performance at the cost of visual quality
- Hardware cursor option moved to settings
- Font hinting mode moved to settings
Currently supported targets:
- Windows 95-XP, i486-compatible CPU
Known limitations:
- Some hardware may not be able to run more complex games. If the game runs too slow, you can try disabling fading, music, or using lower resolution;
- Reasonable performance achievable on Pentium 3 or faster CPU;
- Alpha-transparency is particularly slow, since it's done on the CPU; Games extensively using that will be slow;
- Only software rendering is available.
To run games you may:
- Unzip game archive into ~/.instead/games/;
- Or run zip-packed game: $ instead <game.zip>;
- Or press [f4] to open file dialog (build with gtk2/gtk3 only).
- Join the irc channel #instead on irc.oftc.net;
- Check the AUTHORS file.
