  1. Hi there! All Champ Games run on all models of the 2600 without any modifications that I've tested it on and have not heard anyone else incompatibilities in the last 10 years, so my guess is that it most likely is an issue with your console. I don't know enough about hardware to speculate what the issue may be; it could be dirty contacts in the cartridge port or lack of power to run the extra hardware inside the cart. I am tagging Fred @batari (the main developer of the Melody board that runs the game) to see if he has any insight into what would cause this sort of issue. I assume you have tried other carts on the system and they work fine? Do you have any games that utilize additional hardware in the cart (Draconian, Lode Runner, etc.) to see if you have the same issue?
  2. Looking great Philip! I played a few games and didn't notice any bugs - plays great! I'll play some more and report any issues. I think the sprite management is pretty good. I'd give it a shot if I hadn't gotten soft the last 10 years using sprite management using the ARM. 🦾 Agreed, this is feeling very close to release. Great job! Savekey support would be a good option. I usually only include it in my released versions as well. Once I'm done playing I'll take the level editor for a spin and let you know how it goes. Thanks for putting that together! It will add a lot of replayability to the game... it was a cool feature I added to Wizard of Wor Arcade. Do you plan on including any extra built-in levels? For WoW I held a contest and picked the top 3 to include in the game (and included credit in the manual for the winners). Great job! BT has always been one of my favorites and being able to play an excellent version on the 2600 is wonderful! (plus you saved me the time of having to make it myself ) Thanks, John
  3. Same here! I'll know for sure in a few weeks. It will be great to see everyone there!
  4. Yup, the one and only! Yes, @Nathan Strum and I have talked about possibly leveraging the 3D engine we developed for Turbo Arcade for a cool 3D golf game. Of course we have about a dozen other projects in the works so this will have to wait, but maybe someday! 🤞
  5. Awesome Steve! Retrogameboyz does a great job with those control pads.
  6. Never say never. Champ Sports Golf has been talked about as a possible addition to the Champ Sports lineup (once we actually finish and release one ).
  7. Yes, we're hoping Fred @batari is able to provide a solution soon so people can play > 32K ARM games on the Harmony or a similar device! 🤞
  8. True! Luckily, @eddhell would be travelling back in time with just the cartridges so no whole room full of computers needed. (of course, the downside is that he probably gets burned at the stake for witchcraft )
  9. 👀 Looks like I haven't sent out any patches yet. Sorry about that! I am working with @Nathan Strum on an official ISDF correspondence letter that will be sent along with the patches and plan on getting these sent out next week. Thanks for your patience! Phew... that's good to hear! I was looking at the code and couldn't figure out what would make it only fire 3 shots. Thanks for the update and good luck! John
  10. Hi there! Is this on the demo or full version? I just tried it and it seems to work as expected.
  11. Hi there! With a 1 button joystick, to stand from a crouch position you need to hold down the button while pushing up. If you don't hold down the button the player will jump from a crouching position. With a a 2 button joystick the agent will stand from a crouch position when pushing up; press the second button to jump from the crouch position. Hope that helps! John
  12. Did I miss the DSD T-shirt? 👀 I didn't get to watch the entire replay... I had Blip too - great memories for sure! Same to you Steve... Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 🎆
  13. Glad it worked out Stefan! We have updated all of our binaries with the "Harmony fix" provided by @batari so there should be no issues going forward. 🤞
  14. Hi there! Please send me an email at champdotgames@gmail.com and I will reply with a patched PAL version of your registered ROM. Please include your order # if you have it, or just your name will be fine also. We have worked with @batari to create ROMs that should work on all Harmony carts for any orders moving forward. ▶️
