I think the issue might have been that Q-Bert had some sounds that weren't from the computer but were actually automated mechanically inside the cabinet.
This is what happens when I load the copy from the original games list. As far as I could tell it was the only version on that list unless there is another file that is spelled different or something?
Qbert won't load.mp4
I got these from that same site Internet Archive Digital Library. But two of them were from a different link than the one you sent me. It did load the last one onto the emulator but when I loaded the ROM I got the red message that said files are missing etc. Let me try your list again.
Hello again. I haven't tried yet but something else weird has happened. I was trying to get a copy of Space Invaders which took longer than I thought it would. Several of them wouldn't work at all or didn't have sound etc. I finally found one that works though so that's done. Now, I'm trying to get a copy of Q-Bert which I thought would be easy since it was a very popular game back around 1983-84. I found some zips files but all of them so far don't show up in the emulator after I drop the file into the ROM folder. Have you ever had this happen before?
IT WORKS!.mp4
This fellow was kind of going in the same direction you were. The good old KISS method. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID was designed tech ignorant asses like myself. Thanks for helping me along:)
Thanks, I'll look into it later on this afternoon. I've got some other things I have to work on today. I even tried loading that Launchbox version because I found some Youtube videos that were pretty well put togther but as you would expect no luck.
OK, one step closer. You guys must be real wizzes because it's hard to imagine a ordinary everyday schmo figuring all of this out. Now, where do I click in the emulator page to locate the defender zip.file?
how do i find it.mp4
