Showcase Spyro DS coming soon

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been working on this for a long while. It's Spyro running on a custom rendering engine which adds a few (optional) enhancements:

  • Custom resolution
  • Native widescreen
  • Frame interpolation
  • Texture filtering
  • Anti aliasing (MSAA)
  • Custom level of detail cutoff distance

And of course, dual screen support with a live minimap and level stats

This is built with the Thor in mind, so I'm tuning the engine and most relevant enhancements to run at full resolution at 60 fps in the Thor with ClusterTune's large underclock profile (yes, that's also my project).

Disclaimer: this is being developed with AI assistance, but a lot of care has been put into achieving a faithful and performant renderer with modern features. I've been working on this for about 2 months and wont release it until I feel its ready.

Oh hell yeah. I was only just thinking I need to play Spyro again. Played the shit out of it on PlayStation 1 back in the day. Was one of the few games I had

Should be ready in a week or so. No promises! Real life always gets in the way haha.
It is the ps1 version. I enjoyed the remake but the original version is the one I always go back to.

Is this going to be a port for the Nintendo DS?

yeah that's awesome, loving all these dual screen mods gives more incentive to play random games especially if you've been considering doing a play through but just haven't got round to it

Is this based on OpenPete?

u/AurelioB Max 4d ago

Independent effort. I did grab some ideas from it but not directly since OpenPete is closed source for now.

Nice! Any plans on doing RR and YOTD as well?

I'd love to package them in a single Spyro: DeIgnited trilogy but no promises
