The Spanish developper A600 release today a first 360 build of his bermuda syndrome portage in version 0.1.4. For recall, Bermuda Syndrome is a PC game developed by Century Interactive and published by BMG Interactive in 1995. The game is similar in gameplay and appearance to the classic Flashback from 1992. The player controls the main character from a third person sidescrolling perspective.

Readme

xBermuda360 0.1.4 ported by A600

This is a port for the Xbox360 of the Bermuda Syndrome interpreter done by Gregory Montoir (http://cyxdown.free.fr/bs/) and possible thanks the SDLx libs by lantus and the XBDM plugin by Natelx.

I have to say that this game is probably my favourite platformer of all times (far better IMHO than Another World or Flashback) and sadly it didn’t get the recognition it deserved.

To make it work, you need to copy the BERMUDA folder from your Bermuda Syndrome CD. The music will play only if you convert the midis to 22 Khz stereo Vorbis .ogg files and copy them to the MUSIC folder. You can use this online converter: http://audio.online-.../convert-to-ogg for that.

This is the list of the midis needed:

midiflyaway.mid –> track02.ogg
midijungle1.mid –> track03.ogg
midisadialog.mid –> track04.ogg
midicaves.mid –> track05.ogg
midijungle2.mid –> track06.ogg
mididarkcave.mid –> track07.ogg
midiwaterdiv.mid –> track08.ogg
midimerian1.mid –> track09.ogg
miditelquad.mid –> track10.ogg
midigameover.mid –> track11.ogg
midicomplete.mid –> track12.ogg

The xresizer.xex included, allows to resize the screen for those with overscan problems. It generates a xbox.cfg with this default settings:

xpos=0
ypos=0
xstretch=0
ystretch=0
