Renegade Amiga AGA
A downloadable game
My port of the Arcade game Renegade to AGA Amigas. Initial release is a single file so needs some fast RAM. I have tested it using 4mb fast on a standard A1200.
V1.1
Fixes a couple of bugs when wrapping back to level 1 after completing the game.
V1.2
Fixes display issue on FPGA mininig core. (I was manually setting DIWHIGH but now just leave it implied instead which seems to work)
V1.3
Increases compatibility of 60hz mode (setting are based on the kickstart 3.1 boot menu)
Fixes a missing gfx when kneeing the stage 4 boss
Fixes Stage 4 door remained open when looping round
Fixes a small bug in the throw routine which may have been responsible for the odd glitch
Changes the difficulty for Easy setting so make it easier than the Arcade at this setting, as let's face it, the Arcade version is designed to take your cash!
V1.4
Fixed an error with some calls to Custom chip addresses for the music/sample playing. Didn't affect the sounds but led to random writes and potential crashes. Thanks to jotd666 for pointing these out.

Excellent arcade game, I added it to the video of other Amiga games released in December.
Got this running on a pistorm amiga 1200. It works perfectly in AGS desktop mode. Emu68 came already mounted so I put Renegade in the shared folder and clicked on it and the game ran.
Will this be in amiga game selector 3.0?
They are welcome to include it
This is on Amiga Game Selector 3.0 if anyone wants to play.
Nice arcade conversion, but it doesn't actually improve the core gameplay. A true two-player (playing simultaneously) mode would have been a welcome addition. Our German-language review can be found at 03:52:38. English subtitles are also available. Subscribing to our YouTube and Twitch channels is welcome. 🙂
Thanks for reviewing. No plans for 2 player simultaneous mode I'm afraid. You were playing on the default settings which has the difficulty set to normal (arcade coin eating), if you change it to Easy in the options then it is a lot easier (even easier than the arcade with the dip switches set to easy)
Very good!!! Keep going!
Kunio-kun is starring in alot of Games; maybe some People did not know that.

There is even a whole Serie on TV about Kunio. He is Legendary.
Who is this generic Guy in "Renegade" ? XD
Still kinda hurts that this Game was "re-skinned" for the west.
I pray for an Re-skin of the Re-skin ;)
greetz, Torti
(T_T)
This is amazing! I just love this Game, its the "Godfather" of this Genre.
The first of its kind. Too bad that it was reskinned for the west.
It lost lots of charme of the original Release (and also lost the "cutscenes)
Thats the Original. You know those Guys from River City Ransom :)
Is there any chance you make a "reskin of the reskin"
and give us the original ?
A 2nd Button Control Option would be also very much appreciated.
Thank you so much Dave for this gem (T_T)
Bless you!
Greetings Torti
Got the game running on my A600 mini. Great fun. I am glad I did not get rid of that little system. Can I suggest Double Dragon next?
Awesome game!
Great game, thanks. My favorite ZX Spectrum game 😊🕹️
My favourite Spectrum game too, I was so disappointed when I first played it on the Amiga, so I was determined to right a wrong with this release.
Good job 👍
Can you make this into a whdload. So, I can play this on my mini or an emulator?
Not sure how to without some research. It is just an executable though so just copy it onto a hard drive image and it should run, or is it a lack of chip mem causing you a problem?
There is now a WHDLoad installer for it. Someone has to package it with the binary and .lha pack it, of course:

We need to wait until the final release
Can some one make a complete whd load so I can fire this up with out having to go through hoops to get to run?
i don't know how to do it, and not sure that the 1.4 release is the final game.
I'm waiting for the LHA too.
I tested the game on MiST (minimig core) and ApolloV4SA, both fpga system and the screen game is how shifted to the bottom showing 1 line of graphics.
I have a MiSTer so will try it out on that when I get a chance . Quite strange though as unless you select 60hz mode it uses standard video timings. So far I just tested on real hardware (both SCART and Indivision MK2), winuae and fs-uae and they all display fine.
Thanks for the reply, good You own a MiSTer.
Can you try v1.2 to see if it works
On MiST/SiDi128 now it is ok, only on V4SA I get this:
Thank You very much for the update ;)
It looks likw DISTART and DISTOP are now working (these control the display window and the sprites are correctly lined up). I can only assume the V4SA has a bug in the implementation of 64bit fetches and how these work with bitplane modulos (from the picture it seems like each line is starting from the wrong bitplane pointer address). Are there any known issues with other AGA titles on the V4SA?
I can confirm that this happens on MiSTer too.
Can you try v1.2 to see if it works
It works with 50hz PAL mode, but I just get a black screen in 60hz NTSC mode. It’s not a crash or anything, I can toggle it back to PAL by pressing the button again.
I'll play around with the video timings to try and find a sweet spot for origin hardware and fpga
What is the extension of the file ? LHA or something else ? because the file is just "renegade"
It's just the executable.
alright thank you for the answer, it will be cool to have an LHA file for emulation
Hi, I'm not sure what you are after. An LHA is just an archive, so once you extracted it you would just have the executable again. To play it on emulation just create a bootable hard drive directory and copy the file in. Once booted to the shell type renegade to play
Lots of emulation users think “LHA” is a format that is used directly, since the emulators support that. What he’s after is a WHDLoad setup that is packed with LHA. He can then drop that directly into his emulator and not have to deal with Workbench or the command line, since the game will launch automatically.
thank you lol, this is exactly the use of LHA file, i know this is an archive but the emulation software like WinUAE can use it automatically, just a one click to play the game.
And also you can see that every HB on Amiga have the WHDLoad support this days..
Good job.
But on Saberman's video I found one game logic bug.
When he lost life, full level is restarted.
This is wrong.
Killed enemies are killed.
Hitted boss is hitted (has less energy).
Some graphics glitches (very rare) are visible.
I dont know if this version has only 1 loop.
But if more loops, then this is perhaps world record:
Loop 9-4.
Every loop is hardest than previously.
More hits to some enemies and plus 1 motor bike per loop.
Hi Don, which version are you playing where the level doesn't restart? I've checked both the US and Japan arcade games and they definitely restart the level with all enemies back to full health.
Can you specify where you saw a graphical glitch so I can double check it. (edit, just seen the one on the floor tile - a naughty write happening where it shouldn't, will try to track it down!).
Thanks
First glitch is visible on Saberman movie about 2 minutes 35 secs.
Second glitch is visible on Saberman movie about 3 minutes (seems to be graphics priority problem).
Sorry, seems I remember something wrong when I played this game, level is fully restarted.
I checked a few movies on YT.
First one is definitely a glitch, second one is more a feature as they are on the same y axis and fighting to be the first to win the race 😁. I think the arcade would display similar behaviour in such a scenario
Awesome!
Many thanks !
superb arcade feel
OOOOOOOOOOOOhhh!!
