OpenTTD Windows NT RISC

(This is a guest post by Antoni Sawicki aka Tenox)

A couple of years ago 1984 aka Nitton Åttiofyra ported OpenTTD to Alpha AXP Windows NT. This was a monumental work and we’re extremely grateful for this!

However I was not fully satisfied with this, as I could not run it on MIPS or PowerPC. This port required Visual Studio 6.0, which is not available for either of these platforms. Downgrading the code to compile with older visual C was quite a lot of work for which I did not have time.

Fortunately now we have a tireless army of robots to perform code rewrites. With help of LLM I got it to build on Visual C 4.0. Now available for all NT RISC platforms!

WinTown – Micropolis (SimCity) for NT RISC

(This is a guest post by Antoni Sawicki aka Tenox)

If you ever wanted to play SimCity on a NT RISC machine, your dreams finally came true!

The initial port happened some time last year but it was quite buggy and not fully playable. This release fixes all major bugs. Most importantly however it wraps around the original Unix SimCity C code from DUX instead of re-implementing it. Only the Win32 / GDI, dialogs, etc is custom Windows code.

Rlease 0.6 binaries: https://github.com/tenox7/wintown/releases/tag/0.6

Supports Alpha AXP, MIPS, PowerPC, Itanium (IA64) and ARM. Currently targets NT 4.0 and above, but work is being made to make it run on NT 3.1.
