Appreciation for your Diggers project

[kekk]

I spent loads of time playing the Amiga CD32 version back in the day, and I still occasionally play the DOS version on RetroArch with keyboard support on my laptop and CD32 on my phone. It’s amazing to see Diggers revived for modern systems. Really appreciate all the work you put into it and for sharing it with everyone! I can't wait to test it on Winlator on android.

Hello there, kekk and thank you so much for your kind words and your desire to share the project with others.

I played it on CD32 originally (arguably the best version) and then the DOS version and struggling to get audio working on it due to high memory requirement and not knowing that much about DOS at the time. This version tries to merge the speed and graphical quality of the DOS version and the much superior audio from the CD32 version into one package which has been in progress for exactly two decades now starting this year.

I am not sure about your emulator software but I really hope it works for you so you can enjoy it on your Android too. I would not know where to begin on making an native Android version (or even iOS) but it surely can't be that difficult since the engine is already cross-platform supporting Linux, Windows, MacOS and conforms to strict code standards.

Again, I really appreciate the positive feedback and thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

If possible, would you be able to compile it for Ubuntu Noble ARM64? No worries if not. Thanks!

Right now, I'm afraid to tell you it's a 'no' because I don't have an ARM64 Linux system and I would need the Alt-DP USBC feature finished on Asahi Linux to have the remote chance of having a system. Thus, if and when Asahi is stable enough, it will be a 'yes' because when Apple decides to stop supporting M1 then I'm going to want to use Linux on it instead!

You're welcome to try and get it compile yourself though and submit any PR's on the engine that are needed to get it running although that need should be minimal since ARM64 is already supported — at least on macOS.

Please accept my apologies if that is not the answer you were hoping for.
