Ogre3D Commodore 64 hoax!

[so0os]

Hi!

i just managed to port Ogre to C64! It took some time but I finally managed to do it! Here is my proof:



It's pretty much WIP so there's no download now, stay tuned!

Enjoy!

[betajaen]

Well, I'm convinced!

[so0os]

I'll upload video from a real C64 when I get home.

It's pretty awesome that you found the time to port Ogre to the PS3 AND the C64. I didn't even know that the C64 even had a C++ compiler.

So you receive some Kudos.

I don't believe anything - but cool none the less.

[mkultra333]

I feel really stupid for saying "Wow" at your PS3 port now...

... because this is so much more awesome! WOW!

[Nauk]

Haha, totally awesome!!

*edit* ok stop, does that mean Ogre has gotten a software renderer?

[Sgw32]

OH MY GOD!!!! COMMODORE 64!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!
C64 fans are using Ogre!!! How this port is done?? DO you plan to release a code?

[mkultra333]

I still have a Vic20, I await the port. Maybe next year.

[Sgw32]

Isn't it a 1st April joke? Please, no!!!

[betajaen]

It's in the Ogre News. So I bloody well hope not!

There is no doubt that's seriously cool, but I am posting this from my dish washing machine upside down whilst it is rinsing the whine glasses.

Is the compositor framework realized by a stabilized raster interrupt? If so, how many cycles does it use?

I made a video for infidels:

Was there any doubt that it was all lies So0os?

[so0os]

Was there any doubt that it was all lies So0os?

No! There wasn't any doubt it wasn't all lies!

EDIT: And now there isn't

[betajaen]

Exactly, if I can get Ogre to work on the Amiga. It stands to reason you can get it working on the Commodore 64.

[so0os]

Yeah! Let's hit Atari 2600!

[TechnoBulldog]

You think your Commodore 64 is really neat-o. What kind of chip you got in there, a Dorito?

Sorry, I just had to. Very nice though. At this point, I'm not sure there's a practical application for it. But yes, very nice indeed.

[metaldev]

HAHAHAHA i don't believe anything but i really like it!

[mkultra333]

Getting Ogre onto a C64 might turn out easier and more useful than people credit.

I could rant for hours about Commodore USA.

I cannot believe Amiga Inc. sold the Amiga trademark to them.

[mkultra333]

Oh well, you can't please everyone.

Personally I think it's a great idea. I have an original Vic20 (broken) stored just for this purpose, I wanted to gut it and turn it into a PC. Looks like this saves me the trouble. Although the new C64 isn't the most powerful of beasts... I think it's more aimed as a media centre.

They probably would of been better off selling it as a case mod...
Even if it means mini atx, i'd consider buying it as a case, not as a full system...

I could see a $200 case out selling their $600 base model.

[betajaen]

Thing is.

Commodore has a modern C-64 equivalent which uses modern hardware but it is compatible and doesn't require emulation, i.e. it isn't a PC in a C-64 shaped box.

That C-64 is just using the Commodore brand name to get some quick money.
