Grover Torbel Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) May be old news, but I had to post. This was reported in the Kevin Savetz book "Terrible Nerd", but I had been unable to duplicate it using an emulator. MIST allowed it to work. Steps to duplicate: 1. Run Atari 800 on MIST with CPU at 2x 2. Load Jumpman 3. Wait for Jumpman to die on demo This proves that the demo is simulated gameplay and not just a "movie".

Tempest Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 So what happens next? Does the game freak out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Torbel Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yes, sort of. The demo never goes back to the title screen, but you can still start and play the game normally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Torbel Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 By the way, I apologize for the multiple posts. I'm using tapatalk on an iPhone and it sort of freaked out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yeah I figured something like that happened. No problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Torbel Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 In case I didn't say it before, the MIST FPGA is AWESOME! I think it is the best classic gaming/computer purchase I have ever made. Highly recommended to all if you have the means to purchase and the know-how to get it configured.

Tempest Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Man, I've got to play Jumpman again. Of course I also need to remember the pattern to Figurit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The easiest way to make an attract sequence is simply to feed fake joystick input into the game engine. The arcade version of Galaga has a bug where you can take partial control of the attract mode. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playermissile Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I want an editor, so badly....badly enough that I might jump in to do it. Adding a level editor to Omnivore is on my to-do list, but I'd also be happy for someone else to take that task! Admittedly, it is a big task.
