  1. Past hour
  2. I had a thought, are you loading the xex programs from dos?
  3. Thank you so much for playing Pac-Line 2600, so glad you enjoy it! 🙂 - James
  4. In the upper right hand corner, where it says "Intellivision," they show an artist's rendition of the Atari 2600 version, not the Intellivision version. I guess they wanted the people buying it to think it was similar to their Atari version? I don't know.
  5. Hahah, you're welcome, it was a lot of fun playing Destroyer 7800 on ZPH! The cats are really the stars of the show. 😉 - James
  6. Since the Jaguar is unarguably the best console, you must not be using it properly. Though I'm for sure beating a dead horse here, have you tried playing with the Jaguar sitting in your lap, such that your nostrils inhale the generated fumes in a more concentrated fashion? The controller also becomes more awesome once you become very good at holding it in a different manner for each game that utilizes the keypad, such that you can utilize that game's preferred arbitrary overlay layout. E.g., if you can't play with it resting on your knee at an angle such that you can do an extra fast turn by holding down A+C while performing a flawless first-attempt weapon switch on the keypad while strafing a few tanks and helicopters using the advanced steering/control mode, you're probably still stuck on Level 1 of Iron Soldier 2, just like me. Note this is a level the only strategy guide I'm aware of for this game refers to as "an easy warm-up to get your feet wet," while the next mission's description begins by saying 'Time for a "real" mission!' FML.
  7. My first ever acting gig was a small role in a movie with Al Lewis. I remember sitting at the table with him for hours, both waiting to do our scene - we were waiting until the wee hours. He was a lovely, lovely guy. He offered me chewing tobacco. I was 14! Haha. He told me he never watched anything he was in, I was fascinated by that but now I understand it. I was a huge Munsters fan so it was so cool to be able to spend that evening with him and then even be in a scene with him! Al said to the other folk we were with "You watch this boy, he'll be famous in a year". It was 18 months later that I landed a core cast role in a TV show that still runs to this day. I was in it for 13 years and I literally couldn't go anywhere in NZ without being recognised (fame sucks, btw). Al was only 6 months off. Haha. And now I'm a poor game dev... RIP Al Lewis. Such a legend. I need to play this game now...
  8. Just watched the show. Thank you for including my game. Awesome watching you both play, really a great feeling watching people enjoying a game you made. I have to say though, my favorite part was when your cat was sitting propped up against the wall. I laughed out loud at that. Thanks again.
  9. I love how you guys add 'dust covers' to all of your products as part of the packaging. It may not be a conscious thing but I use them for that. The 2600+ one doesn't fit when it's plugged up though. lol
  10. I gotta say, I don't think you could have chosen three better games for the 7800 to kick off. Even I have heard of these (Sega nut) and played them! I have already pre-ordered everything from Mighty Ape here in NZ. Ninja Golf is so much fun.
  11. Sorry but not familiar with this. Could you please explain for a 7800GD newbie?
  12. Sorry @Ben from Plaion but would you perhaps be able to answer this for me? perhaps it was overlooked during testing? It only affects the team games in breakout where two players can play at once.
  13. Today
  14. whackem_game.rom We're in the mid to late alpha stage. This demo lets you play one round with standard settings. Once it's finished, the game halts and needs to be restarted either with the reset button on the ColecoVision, or the appropriate option on your favorite CV emulator. I'm liking where this is going. I have the level logic for the first two stages set up, but it's not read yet, nor is that section of the game finished. Adjusting the level stats not only makes the game faster or slower, but can be used to create special situations ("sure shot" stages where players are given a limited number of targets, making accuracy a must, "speed round" stages where TONS of Byrons pop out of the holes, etc.). The original plan was to include bonus stages, but I haven't gotten to that yet... I imagine it'll be tricky. While I'm at it, here are a few conceptual scenes in the game. High scores are a possibility, but let's see where development takes us first. The red game over screen appears only when the player strikes a bomb... it's a little showy and may not be in the final build because of memory constraints. (I'm doing pretty well with ROM size so far, but there's still sound effects to worry about.) Anyway! Give it a spin, let me know what you think.
  15. Increased my score a bit. I am playing on "normal" difficulty on that rom that has "Game 1"
  16. Sorry for getting all AVGN on the Jaguar. I just really dislike the system, but each to their own
  17. I suppose I am "quite wrong" about my use of a poorly constructed sentence in the bolded bits. What I meant to say is that this particular collection of Famicom games are all bootlegs, and these particular bootleg titles are dime-a-dozen bootlegs that are "not very collectible." But they do have value to someone who's gonna play them. And I suppose ANYTHING is "collectible" so long as there is someone who collects it. I am, however, confident that collectors of bootleg Famicom games are in a very small minority. Or at least, they should be. A lot of the luster of collecting Asian bootlegs (or any other bootleg, for that matter) wears off quickly when one realizes that purchasing bootleg games contributes to software piracy. It cheats the legal copyright holders of those games out of revenue they -- not the bootleggers -- richly deserve. Bootleggers = criminals. Just so you know. So yeah, I too am of the mindset that unauthorized = garbage. Not to start an argument or anything. I'm just saying I hold a different opinion. -Ben
  18. Hi All, I've bene trying to find the Lo and HI TOS images for the ENG version of TOS 2,.06, I just need the two ROM version. Know where I can download so I can burn with my EPROM programmer? Thanks
  19. When you select a game, the LTO issues the reset signal to the Intellivision. Some Intellivisions don't response so the LTO + Intellivision look hung. I have an Intellivision that does the same thing. Just do a quick tap on the Reset button and the game should start.
  20. As noted, it means the signal on that line will be an active low. Lines without the circle will be an active high. Note also that sometimes active lows will be tied high voltage-wise to make the circuit respond as desired, and active high lines may be tied low for the same type of reasons. . .the important parts of this are that the circles at the chip do not prevent the line from connecting or being read at any point along the trace it is part of, they just tell us what kind of signal is there.
  21. Evening all Perhaps someone here can be of some assistance with an issue I’m having. I’m trying to flash the core of my PokeyMax 2B but keep running into a brick wall. I found 2 different programs on line for this, found the correct core.bin files and used Altirra to put one (stereo + U1MB) into an .atr file, used my SDrive Max to mount the .atr, but for some reason neither of the programs is able to see the core.bin file, I either get a ‘file not found’ or ‘failed to open file’ error. It’s almost as if there is some sort of SIO issue, but I don’t believe there is a problem with any of my equipment. I wasn’t able to find any real documentation on how to flash the cores, so I was hoping someone here has had some experience with this. Btw, my set up is: XEGS U1MB/VBXE/UAV/64k SRAM/PokeyMax 2B Thank you, and please feel free to let me know if any additional information is needed. 👍
  22. First of all the SD card reader in the Dreamcast expansion slots will not destroy your GD reader. Second of all Mac got rid of dual boot as early as Mac OS 12. They're currently on Mac OS 14. Anything with an "M processor" will not work with Windows. Let's just say I feared windows ever since the only way I could get someone to stop tapping into the windows portion of my Mac was literally physically unplugging the power cord in the computer and then erasing it clean from the Mac side. After that I vowed never again. When it comes to PC viruses I'm like Adrian Monk. I try to avoid them if I can't deal with them.
