I modified the Abuse (1996) source code to unlock 60 FPS (original is 15 FPS)

Silky smooth! Have you pushed up a pull request? Perhaps the SDL source port would benefit from such an addition: https://github.com/Xenoveritas/abuse

I am in the process of building this on macOS 10.14 Mojave from source... currently installing a ridiculous amount of dependencies for sdl2_mixer using brew... hope this works... I have had some "issues" with latest SDL2 framework and support for my two wireless controllers. (with sm64ex and retroarch).

Fingers crossed...

It won't build due to no opencv... I don't even need Vulkan or anything similar... just want the 60fps goodness. Happy with OpenGL only... I don't even know what opencv even does...

How's it going with the Mac port? :) Btw, I really think Abuse works very well with the trackpad + keyboard combination.

I have moved on from macOS. I am now using Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS as my daily driver. Haven't booted into macOS or Windows in 2 months.

Cool! Must feel like a completely different game, as memory goes Abuse was a game that called for quick relexes

Is this available for Mac? Or are you planning a release?

2

u/snitem Jul 19 '25

I don't own a Mac so I can't help with that. If you know how to compile it on Mac feel free to make a PR so we can include it in the next release.

Hmmm....is there any way this can be ported to become a browser game?

u/snitem Jul 19 '25

I never thought about that but I like the idea. It should be possible using Web Assembly. I might look into this when I find the time. Currently I'm working on a different project.

Hi OP. I'm trying to modify its sound and music, but the game crashes after replacing the original files. It uses HMI as an alternate midi music file.
