Rybags Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I should have also noted: Although the game only uses the base 48K, it uses most of the VBXE RAM. If you're using the "R" Rambo mode core and a Dos that uses that extra RAM, there's the possibility of conflict - at the least any RAMDisk in use would probably be corrupted.

sloopy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Tonight, I will test this... As I am sure people would appreciate it if i tested their VBXE's before shipping :'D sloopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEtalGuy66 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I was using a 320k XE with the latest EX core, non-rambo.. I was launching it using the X command from SDX.. V14 worked fine.. V15 would freeze after loading a few sectors with nothing on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 mc29_d6.xex D6 version only. Not sure anyone's running D7 installs any more. I was holding off until I got some more done but I've not worked on it much the last month. But there's a fair amount of change since the last release. . More variety in enemy colours, incorporated some improved sprite designs thanks to the work of MrFish. . Star background now looks more like the real thing. Still a fair bit to do. I'm holding off adding the proper music until the game's more polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollett Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Program didn't work for me in Altarri, got the loading message. Screen did some multicolor flickering a couple times and then just back to the loading screen, but nothing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) You need VBXE enabled (standard, not $D7xx option), also make sure no cartridges mounted. Also best to use Altirra's load exe command rather than booting a Dos. Edited June 2, 2012 by Rybags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollett Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Ahh, I was lazy and didn't read the beginning of the thread, I didn't realize it was VBXE release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greblus Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 this last build has more colour on sprites, but the animated starfield is corrupted on ntsc vbxe XEGS I've been playing it today (I'm really impressed by the enemy units movement) and noticed that the starfield is correct if i choose stock config / no additional memory in U1MB settings.

W. i know, it works great on emulation ... but my "real" modded machine is an ntsc XEGS with: lotharek's vbxe2.1 + dual pokey stereo mod + ultimate 1 mb v2 (candle) + and runs files from side 2 or sio2sd last version of moon cresta worked fine it has something to do with memory, if i set my u1mb to rambo 1mb it runs with starfield corrupted , from side 2 if i switch to standard config it does not even boot have a similar problem with night driver, the road gets glitched after a while all the other games run fine though Edited November 19, 2013 by Aking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aking Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 i have 2 pal (german) 130xes, but they were more difficult to mod... not enough space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koji77 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 is their a version for those of us who do not have the VBXE upgrade? I am waiting on Steve (Atarimax) to send me my modded 1200xl..... could the VBXE be installed along with his mods or is it 1 or the other...... really would love to get a copy of Moon Cresta!!! looks great!

Android8675 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 There isn't, it's a VBXE designed game. If you want to check it out, download Altirra and run it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 It's actually based on the 7800 code with bits chopped out and much reworking to work with VBXE rather than 7800 hardware. A version for normal machines is a possibility but some way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aking Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 mc29_d6.xex found the problem, even on altirra , does not work on XEGS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hi, I have little problems with mc29_d6.xex after installing Ultimate 1MB. Earlier in December 2011 was a VBXE V.2 installed in my Pal XEGS incl. Stereo Board, no Extra Ram. XEGS Os was removed and XL OS with QmegOS switchable was installed. With Core 1.24R works Moon Cresta fine. See my test in ABBUC Issue 109. In January 2013 was a Ultimate 1MB installed and Monn Cresta does not run correct. With plain boot from sio2sd, with XL OS (not XEGS), no extra Ram or 256 Kb extra ram, after loading, it does not start and screnn is black. With 512 Kb or 1024 Kb it runs but the stars are confused. With Core 1.24A or 1.26A. The switchable XL OS and QmegOS was removed. Is there a uptade from mc29, or a unpacked Version? Any ideas?

rdefabri Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Does Altirra support VBXE natively (e.g., is there a mode)? I'm an Atari800WIN user, more out of laziness and it mostly works. Unfortunately, this won't work on it as it doesn't support VBXE (at least on my version). Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Catching up from many years in the fog...

jvas Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yes, Altirra supports VBXE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yes, Altirra supports VBXE. Thanks - and now I'm having an issue with Atari800WinPLUS with the ATARIXL rom...so I may just cut bait and go with Altirra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Finally got this working (I'm not Altirra savvy yet), really well done. Great work, thanks for the effort into this - awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwilove Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Never tried this before - via Altirra. Took me a short while to find the right settings: 800XL LLE Kernal 64K NTSC VBXE VBXE memory No Artifacting Standard Video Amazing conversion - seems 100% authentic. I did play the coin-op a lot, so it appears the same, even though I've only played one game and didn't get that far. I guess this is the only way we'll ever see Galaga running. Must have been a lot of work to get this Moon Cresta up and running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
