  1. So I worked for a really long time and I finally made the clouds identical. Also, I didn't like the shape of the banana. I never did. So I changed it to a lemon. Thoughts? fly668a.bin
  2. Clouds: Those puffy white things in the sky. Sometimes they look like stuff. No two are alike. So with that in mind, I have a version 668. I was trying to make the clouds look better, but for some reason I just can't make them uniform. So they'll have to stay like this. I also fixed the fly's wing bug when he's down on the ground and got rid of the stuff moves behind clouds feature. So I think it's couch compliant, unless you want to play in b&w. That requires flipping the switch to b&w. Everything else should work fine. I tested it on my Atari 7800. Let me know if it doesn't. The name of the game is again "Fruit Fly Fun." I like alliteration. fly668.bin
  3. I figured the bugs and swatter should be able to touch the banana, so I changed it to do so. It took a few tries, but I think I have it now. I also changed the clouds. Let me know what you think. fly667bbb.bin
  4. Don't tell anyone, but...i'm not wearing green.

      Neither am I, and I'm Irish.

  5. So I discovered a strangeness on a real 7800 with my flies game. The scanline jumped. So I went back to work and attempted to fix it. I think I finally did so. I was wondering though why Stella said the scanline jumped when I pressed reset but it really didn't. I don't know why it would do that. So I went back and tried to fix that and in doing so learned that the scanline was 260 when pressing reset. Which was why the >#262 thing wasn't going off when I reset. So I think now everything is okay and fine. I played it on my Atari 7800 and didn't run into any issues. And if someone finds an issue I have around 40 bytes to try to fix it with. I screwed up a whole lot when I fixed the resetting problem, so I had to spend a few hours trying to get the rest of the scanline problems figured out. I think I got all of the possible actions the game could throw at you finished and have a steady 262 scanline. I don't know why I have to worry about that only on the Atari 2600. All the other consoles I program, the 2600 is the only one who does something like that. I woke up shortly after midnight. I woke up at around 10pm and didn't want to get up, so I went back to sleep. Have you ever had a dream where you need to pee and just when you find a toilet and are about to start, you wake up needing to go really bad? I do. A lot. It's annoying. Happy St. Patrick's Day. Easter is soon, but I don't do anything for that. I bet I won't be able to get a pizza if I wanted one then. Or have groceries delivered. Or anything else, for that matter.
  6. Wow! The 7800 is versatile! I can use a 6-button Genesis conroller to play 2600 games on the 7800, but fire is B.
  7. The scanline should be at an even 262. It was except for resetting. I think I fixed that. And broke some other things, which I think I have fixed again. Again, let me know. fly667a.bin
  8. Hi. I'm quite frustrated with all of the controllers I can use because the buttons (not the joystick) won't work. So I was just wondering if a Sega Master System controller would work.
  9. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Get in the spirit with this wip rom. potofgold15.rom
  10. So spring has returned. The ants are back on the kitchen counter. The temperatures are warmer. Since I was done working on my Game Gear game, just for fun I went back to work seeing if I could fix the scanline issue I had in the assembly version of Fruit Fly Fun. You might say it's a beautiful spring day (well, night). I hate the sun. But I woke up at about 7 p.m. so I missed most of it. I think I fixed it. Perhaps tonight I'll try it on a real Atari 7800 to see if I made it work good on actual hardware. I had this weird dream about coding. Someone told me my colors on my Game Gear game were kind of muddy. Someone actually said that. So I dreamt there was a way to turn that off. What a thing to dream about! If you'd like to try Fruit Fly Fun, go to the thread I resurrected in the Atari 2600 Programming subforum.
  11. Back working on the original version. Did I fix the scanline issue? I played three rounds on Stella and didn't notice anything. Let me know if you get 263 scanlines (and post a picture of it if possible.) fly666.bin
  12. I don't know what the brand of my cartridge is. All it says is "Memory Card Plus". When I bought it, I had the choice of an American Saturn or a Japanese Saturn. One of the reasons I went with the US one was because it was cheaper. And because I was in America. But I don't know whether I'd like the Japanese games. I'm a pretty odd gamer: I like puzzles, racing, and platformers on occassion.
  13. I got my Saturn plugged back in. It still works like a champ. It's an American one, so I don't want Japanese games. But it seems like the majority of the games are Japanese. That won't help me very much since I can't read Japanese, so I bought the American one. I just bought two games off eBay: Baku Baku and Grid Runner. I played a bit of Hyper 3D Pinball. It's one of three Saturn pinball games I have. One thing I noticed was instead of loading the game straight away, I get the Saturn menu and I have to pick "start program" of it. Is there some way to make it not do that? It's really irritating. At least I have a memory save cartridge to save high scores onto. Although I don't think if you gave me a million years, I'd never beat my high score in position #5 of the Fun Fair table.
  14. So I worked some more on my Flying Hamburgers Game Gear game last night. I think I'm done with it now. I changed it so instead of it saying "level 1", "level 2", etc., it just says "new level." I didn't want players to get confused when they reach level 11 and it says "level 1." I also took a stab at designing a label (like I'll ever get this released. Ha!) I took an old label and changed it to say "Flying" instead of "En Route To Switzerland 2." I also found a bug in the game. It's not a game breaking bug, though, so that's good. In fact, I think it was pure luck I even found it. I don't know how. It involves the pow explosion moving left (it's not supposed to). I kept playing and never saw it again. So now what I need to do is keep playing the game, testing it. I thought I had made another one that's really different, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I had to wake up at around 4p.m. because the power went out for a few seconds. My fan stopped working. That's how I knew. So I had to turn the computer back on and set the timer on my digital clocks. Since I went to sleep at about 4a.m., I figured I might as well get up. So I did.
