Beamrider - no flash hack


RevEng

Recommended Posts

Thanks for this!

 

I just played it on my Atari FB Portable... It is pretty awesome!

 

I don't mind the flashing that much, but admittedly this one's easier on the eyes. It would have been cool if this was a hidden menu option BITD. Or even a Selectable version. If I had programmed that game I would have made only special enemies cause a screen flash...

The subject says it all. This hack removes the flashing background effects from beamrider.

I actually did this one years ago, but figured nobody except RT was interested. ;)

 

Enjoy!

How many years back? As I'm adding it to my VCS homebrew list..... or if you have the original posting link - either would help. Thanks!

Looks like our AFBP's will breathe new life into old homebrews and hacks!

It was October 2009, but it wasn't public... I sent a PM to RandomTerrain, who would often complain about the flashing.

 

I didn't share it publicly at the time because I wasn't sure of the status of Activision hacks. I knew that Activision has requested removal of their roms from AA at one point.

 

Thanks for the kind words on the hack, guys!
