Files in this repository are based around the first release of Singe 2 games on archive.org
Subsequent releases will likely not work correctly.

ffmpeg -i <original>.mp4 -an -qscale:v 4 -b:v 6000k -codec:v mpeg2video <game>.m2v
ffmpeg -i <original>.mp4 -vn -c:a libvorbis -ar 44100 -map a -b:a 160k <game>.ogg

e.g.

ffmpeg -i FaI.mp4 -an -qscale:v 4 -b:v 6000k -codec:v mpeg2video fireandice.m2v
ffmpeg -i FaI.mp4 -vn -c:a libvorbis -ar 44100 -map a -b:a 160k fireandice.ogg

If your device is struggling with the HD content, you can resize in this operation:

ffmpeg -i FaI.mp4 -an -qscale:v 4 -b:v 6000k -vf scale=640:480 -codec:v mpeg2video fireandice.m2v

This repo does not contain Copyrighted © material, purely fan made graphics, sounds and LUA scripts.

All data in the subdirectories of this repository has been ported according to the processes below.

You do not need to alter any of the peripheral data in these subdirectories.

The only required step is to obtain the video files for your required game and perform a video conversion as detailed above using ffmpeg. This can be performed on any PC including Windows: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html

Once you have the new .m2v and .ogg video and audio files:

• Move them into the relevant subdirectory from this repository.
• Install the subdirectory into your Hypseus Singe ROM folder location.

Find the OVLW and OVLH definitions. (Only HD video games will likely contain this).

Usually in main.singe, comment existing and hardcode Singe 320x240 overlay:

--[[
OVLW = vldpGetWidth()
OVLH = vldpGetHeight()
]]--

OVLW = 320
OVLH = 240

If images (.pngs) appear too large when ported, resize them.

sudo apt-get install imagemagick pngcrush

Copy original images to subdirectory 'original'

mkdir original
cp *.png original
cd original

Run convert_png.sh script within 'original' subdirectory.

./convert_png.sh

Alter scale in script for preference - 3 works for most games.

All references to peripheral files should link to singe/<gamename> in the singe script.

This has already been performed for data in this repo.

However below are scripts to help you do this if porting over.

#!/bin/bash

• maddog - Singe 1 version works as expected
• Due to the 16-bit limitation of VLDP a maximum of 65535 video frames are supported:
  ERROR : current mpeg has too many frames, VLDP will ignore any frames above 65535

Games using video files collectively over this frame limit will have unpredictable results (Singe 2 only)
