For the record, only 5 people have received a venture cart and that was an early version that had a LOT of bugs. The only reason it was released is because of a mis-communication with Video 61.

Tep392 is correct. I'm not a coder. I'm the sound, graphics and the project director on almost all the games we do.

Hey Sal,
Did you ever releases the source code for your update to the 8bit computers Donkey Kong?  I ask because a while back, Fernando, before he was banned, asked me if I would convert it for the 5200.  I said no because it was not mine. He said it was released to the public domain and even sent me the source files for it.  I don't recall seeing you post the files.

So he is officially trying to profit off of your work now?

I don't know.  I only saw him post complaints about bugs that no one else seems to be experiencing.  If the ROM does get out, I'll be able to tell who it was originally sold to. ;)

I'm glad you were willing to sell the rom.. I wish more homebrew authors would.
Lots of CV games, one being Pac-Man collection I would love to purchase that rom...
I don't even play Tempest that much simply because it is not on my SD cart.
Sinistar, Haunted House II, I only play them on occasion when I have all the carts out.
Normally the SD cart doesn't leave the cart port.

Sorry- Back on topic: I've played Pac-Man arcade weekly since I purchased the ROM and don't remember ever having an issue with the game.
I really love the initial splash screen. :)

Thanks.  I will continue to offer the ROM to people who don't wan't a cart.  It's also included with the purchase of a cart.

" Pacman Arcade ,
download Perry's demo,
Press reset/ pause on real hardware a few times and it dies,
awful programing...
And he "teaches" his techniques on the forums "

Nice.  It looks like 8bitFenandoMariaMajic is ripping on me in the Jag Forum.  I guess I ruffled his feathers with all my criticism of Ferando. ;)  I also noticed that he hasn't posted anything for sale on Ebay lately.  Maybe his shill bidding finally caught up with him. :)

I actually sold the ROM of the 5200 version of Pac-Man Arcade to Fernando when I was still developing it, before I knew what a tool he is.  He identified some bugs at the time and I fixed them for the final version.  I havn't had any reports of bugs since the physical carts shipped.  I suspect it's an issue with his flash cart.

What's really funny, is that this is coming from a guy who's selling some of the buggiest conversions around. :)

Is this supposed to work with TIA sound?  I tried it on my 7800 with a standard 32k cart and don't get any sound.  The only thing I hear is a static belch when I get a frog into one of the slots.
