Code ‘n Stuff

Work has been started on getting CLANNAD playable under rlvm. Nagisa’s route is playable to the end, minus the MPEG video. rlvm now remembers the CG viewed. User selections are now usable and don’t lock up the interpreter. Despite all this, CLANNAD support is far from complete. There are still several graphical glitches and unimplemented opcodes.

In addition, there are several stability fixes. The race condition in the BGM system has been fixed. Scrolling through Planetarian’s backlog no longer crashes.

rlvm 0.2 adds music and sound effect support, along with custom mouse cursors included in RealLive games.

While rlvm plays music and sounds, rlvm still does not support voices. nwatowav does not support the voice format used on the Planetarian CD edition. If anyone knows anything about the voice file format used in Planetarian, please contact me at .

This version is not backwards compatible with rlvm 0.1’s save files. I’ve added versioning information to the save files so hopefully future versions of rlvm will be compatible with the save game files produced by version 0.2. No user action is required to upgrade; save files are written in a different location and are now compressed with zlib.

rlvm compiles on Ubuntu Hardy Heron (and most likely any modern Linux distribution), Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger, and Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard.

After a year and a half of hard work, I’m pleased to announce the
first release of rlvm. rlvm is a Free Software reimplementation of the
VisualArt’s KK’s RealLive interpreter. It is meant to provide Linux
and Apple users with a compatible, portable interpreter to play
VisualArts games, specifically those released by Key.

As this is the first publicly released version, there are bound to be
bugs. The machine is missing major features. (See KNOWN ISSUES in
README.TXT.) Right now, only Planetarian is playable through the end.

rlvm compiles on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (and most likely any modern Linux
distribution), Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger, and Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard.
