macdlsa Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 There is an extra space before the comma in the 2nd line. Extra spaces are many: all of them serves to fill the text and somewhat align it to L/R "square" borders. But, yes, this one is more noticeable than the others and that's because because it's near the comma... I'll sure fix it, maybe when all the other languages are translated correctly...

Is there not an automatic "just fit" option? I used to use it in MS Word. Sometimes I've seen it fail however in magazines and newsprint with skinny columbs, when a really big word doesn't quite fit at the end of the line, and as a result it is moved to the next line in it's entirety, all the words in the line look like they have quadruple spacing. Cool you guys are doing multilingual boxarts for the PAL releases. I can only read/speak English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, no PhotoSchlop for me... maybe it has the "fit" option, but Ulead does not , then I have to do it manually (it's not a great fadigue ! Otherwise I'd get immediately pissed off ) Multilingual is only for an European box... just want to "maintain" the same Atari format !

iesposta Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It would be interesting to see how much of the ARM version would have to be stripped out to get it to work on an early 80's era cart. Depressing, but interesting. Star Castle Arcade does a lot, and that does not use ARM -- just a different bankswitch format. That was deemed not possible. Now we have examples of what is possible at 8K and at 32K. The less powerdul "without ARM use" would hopefully keep excellent gameplay, sacrificing fine player / enemy movement, graphics... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Does this work on the Stella emulator? Can't get any of the roms to work. yes: Are you using an old version of Stella? Scramble uses DPC+ bankswitching with custom ARM code. DPC+ was added in version 3.1 of Stella, ARM support in 3.4, and numerous updates & bug fixes to DPC+ and ARM support were done in versions after that.

Andromeda Stardust Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 yes: Screen Shot 2017-01-24 at 1.10.31 PM.png Are you using an old version of Stella?

DPC+ was added in version 3.1 of Stella, ARM support in 3.4, and numerous updates & bug fixes to DPC+ and ARM support were done in versions after that. Unfortunately afaik, Stella ports to Wii-brew, Xbox, Retro Pie, Android, and other implementations on embedded systems (pretty much anything that's not x86 Win/Mac/Linux PC build) are using an outdated codebase and are unlikely to work.

Andromeda Stardust Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well, they'll just have to buy the cart then. I plan on buying it immediately whenever Albert releases it. Currently it's been a drip feed of Intelli, Coleco, and Jag games. I was referring to using emulators on something other than a PC with DPC+ games. And yes, I have a Harmony cart as my preferred method of accessing homebrew ROMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I have a hard proof of the Scramble manual. It is beautiful. Dave Dries did a stupendous job with it. There's more, of course, but that's all for now. ..Al 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 FYI, Scramble is already out for the NES, and it was based off the Atari port. I've played it, and it's fantastic: http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=169021 http://www.khangames.com/store/home/13-scramble-complete-in-box.html Anyway it's an instant buy for me when the Atari port drops. I think it's more impressive to see it running on VCS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
