+CharlieChaplin Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Well, a simple and short question: Does Commando work well on PAL machines ?!? (I am asking since I already ordered some prototype carts, such as Tower toppler, to find out later they do not work correct on PAL machines or crash at a certain point...) greetings from ABBUC, Andreas Magenheimer.

TXG/MNX Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 What's the difference between the 512Kb version and the XEGS version? TXG/MNX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 What's the difference between the 512Kb version and the XEGS version? TXG/MNX Nothing. The XEGS version is made from the commando.bin posted. Half the 'mega-cart' image is just empty, half of whats left is just duplicate copies of the fixed a000-bfff bank to make it work on the 'mega-cart' hardware. Take whats left and you have the original 128k xegs format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sack-c0s Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 -Sound is allover crap. The C64 version lives by the music. This version sounds like done in 1979 and not in 1989. Some effects are missing..etc. I agree that the music is pretty basic, but it's also pretty basic in the arcade version (the 64 music was jazzed up quite a bit). I guess that's what happens when you don't have Rob Hubbard around. -Bry Has anyone thought of the possibility of hacking the RMT player into there in place of whatever music driver it currently uses? If that can be done then getting a conversion of the Hubbard version of the music together is no major problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that can be done then getting a conversion of the Hubbard version of the music together is no major problem As I wrote before... the gameplay is fun... but...(especially to sunmark) What about a real A.A. co work? As the Mega card is nearly empty... why not exchanging the "bad" parts of the game? A much better title screen is done already... a way better music can be build in and the "smoker part" can also be enhanced multiple times.

sack-c0s Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 well for what it's worth I got bored today and started messing with RMT and this is my first attempt at the ingame music based on the C64 version. commando.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 well for what it's worth I got bored today and started messing with RMT and this is my first attempt at the ingame music based on the C64 version. Wow, that's pretty close. Suggestion: The accompaniment voice is not so vibrato on the 64, rather it flips between 2 pitches very quickly (I isolated each voice using SidPlay, then slowed them down to hear the actual effect used). I'm just learning how to use RMT, so I don't have the sound figured out yet. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmutzpuppe Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 well for what it's worth I got bored today and started messing with RMT and this is my first attempt at the ingame music based on the C64 version. Sounds cool, does "first attempt" means you will do some finetuning? Can't wait for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Genius! Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 The Commando carts have been shipped! Thanks for patiently waiting! Anyone who still may want a Commando cart can still order it at the $39.95 price until tomorrow. I'd order a couple of things if I could just mail in a check. Sure, anyone can order with check or COD! Just send the check in with your order. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
