# blues for AmigaOS 4.1 FE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
blues is a game engine developed by Gregory Montoir and found at his
|
||
|
|
GitHub repository (https://github.com/cyxx/blues)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This engine supports three games developed by Titus Interactive,
|
||
|
|
which are the "Blues Brothers", the "Blues Brothers: Jukebox Adventure"
|
||
|
|
and the "Prehistorik 2"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Extract the archive wherever you want. There are three folders, one
|
||
|
|
for each game. In these folders there is the executable and a *data*
|
||
|
|
folder where you need to copy the data files for each game.
|
||
|
|
Please read below for more info about these files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Blues Brothers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The data files of the Amiga or DOS version, full game or
|
||
|
|
demo (https://archive.org/details/TheBluesBrothers_1020), are
|
||
|
|
required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
*.BIN, *.CK1, *.CK2, *.SQL, *.SQV, *.SQZ
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For sounds and music, the Amiga version files or the
|
||
|
|
ExoticA (https://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/The_Blues_Brothers) set
|
||
|
|
need to be copied.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Jukebox Adventure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The data files of the DOS version are required.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

## I would like to thank
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
## Known issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Please avoid using the fullscreen because some times it breaks
|
||
|
|
the game in some situations. Prefer to use --scale
|
||
|
|
- By default the game loads the data files from the data folder.
|
||
|
|
It is not tested if those are in a different place and it might fail
|
||
|
|
- If you have problems in graphics (black screen, missing sprites)
|
||
|
|
try different SDL renderer in prefs
|
||
|
|
