Today we have released the source code to Wipeout by Psygnosis, a futuristic racing game set in 2052! It includes the source to both the original PSX game as well as it’s Windows port. Please note that it is currently unknown if these sources are fully buildable.
Massive thanks to March42 for sending this in for release! Link to the dump - https://illusion.64history.net...
Please note: This source code should not serve any purpose beyond educational and preservation purposes. It is not an "official" release, so you can stop asking about licenses. Thank you.
@forestillusion I guess a little bit of cleaning is necessary to build the PSX version, I can see a lot of windows system includes in the PSX directory.
@forestillusion We only got 30 years to go
@forestillusion Lovely work.
@forestillusion OMG I loved this game!
@forestillusion Not buildable? I’ll fix that.
@forestillusion Something new for @fabynou
@forestillusion @Foone Oh wow! I learned how to change directories to play this game C:\> D D:\> cd game D:\game\> run.exe
@forestillusion I was able to build an executable based from the Wipeout98 directory. Need to organize game data to see if it will actually run properly. Will provide diff if it works.
@forestillusion It contains only shitty PC port + some PSX asm. The code is badly written and was disfigure by nasty hacks for ATI Rage support, new bugs were added. After one month of fiddling I manage to run it, cleanup the code and use PSX textures instead of PC buggy atlases. W.I.P. #wipeout
@forestillusion I always dreamed of a 60fps port of wipEout / 2097 / 3 & SE.
@forestillusion Finally 60fps possible ?!
@forestillusion I Build it. Only a few errors corrected but it seems to work so far.
@forestillusion Under which license it is released?
@forestillusion holy shittttttt, i want to see a thread full of everyone’s creative contributions
@forestillusion I'm sorry, but Wipeout>F-Zero
@forestillusion I miss Rollcage from Psygnosis...
@forestillusion @phoboslab you may be interested in this release given your previous reverse engineering of the Wipeout files. https://phoboslab.org/log/2015...
@forestillusion TIL there was a Windows version of this game
@forestillusion maybe I'm just ignorant but how could you not know if it was buildable? can't you just try it to see?
@forestillusion Does this code contain the network play feature teased in the readme on the PC version? :OOO
@forestillusion @MrRiverface NICE I hope someone mods an F-22 Raptor into this game
@forestillusion Oh, great. I just recently got into BallisticNG
@forestillusion Thought you were talking about the game show at first, haha. This is still pretty cool! Thanks to you and whoever gave you guys this! 😄
@forestillusion @LilyBug33mn Wow I remember that, amazing!
@forestillusion owo
@forestillusion @DJSnM I remember playing this as one of my first PS1 games within hours of the platform being available in the US. Good times.
@forestillusion Thanks man, it's a masterpiece of his time.
@forestillusion I'd love to see a 60fps 4k version of this game someday. I loved wipeout back in the day haven't played it since the ps1 though..
@forestillusion @naparuba One of my favorite games.
@forestillusion Any chance tou got Drakan in there?
@forestillusion Great game... played it for hours.
