Pioneer4x4 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 We are just awaiting approval of FSS. Can be just a matter of days. It is all just a matter of days, just how many of them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maiki Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How come Starcastle can be downloaded for free and no Boulder Dash? They are both copyrighted games anyway. We want Boulder Dash ROM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+HatNJ Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How come Starcastle can be downloaded for free and no Boulder Dash? They are both copyrighted games anyway. We want Boulder Dash ROM! Because First Star is an active ongoing company interested in protecting their property can not blame them and Star Castle's owners ether can not be found or did not respond and only cd-w's version has been released for play testing its not 100% complete yet and the other version well there threads on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Also, doesn't bolder dash require "something special", will it run on emulators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Also, doesn't bolder dash require "something special", will it run on emulators? The final binary will not be released, so the point is moot. The demo version runs just fine on emulators. Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tremoloman2006 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I hope First Star makes a mention of it on their website. This is almost as mind blowing as E=mc²! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stephena Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Just their latest quote: Just played the game on Stella...indeed...VERY...impressive!!! You mean the guys at FSS are using Stella too? That's nice to hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 You mean the guys at FSS are using Stella too? That's nice to hear Maybe they'll donate some of their Boulder Dash cash to Stella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 FSS was unable to test the cartridge we sent them because their original 2600 unit had died. Rather than wait till they sourced another, I suggested they download Stella and test/approve a binary instead. And that's what happened.

If the e-mail wasn't secure, that means a ROM is floating around out there somewhere. Atari nerd hackers, get to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss 2600 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Last post was #666. Better not follow it. That's weird. I just "liked" a tweet on Face Book from shock drag queen Sharon Needles and it said "You and 666 others like this" which is very appropriate. Anyway, sounds awesome! Can't wait to play it!

fernando marrin Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 will the final cart be encripted? if not i will dump it to play on the H2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 will the final cart be encripted? if not i will dump it to play on the H2 i thought you were not getting one? H2 is a letter/number. not anything you can buy as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 will the final cart be encripted? Though I don't understand the reason/details, I understand that it will be extremely difficult to dump. It is unlikely a binary will be obtained from a cart. *shrug* that's what I'm told... we shall see. Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he is certain to honour FSS' copyright and not dump and distribute the rom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There, problem sorted! Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
