kenfused Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Notes: Crashes when it gets ready to go to demo. If you're good with a debugger let me know what is crashing it. High score is lost on reset. Ok, so that is true for most of my conversions but I am trying to make it so it doesnt here (note it is normal for the game to not show the high score until the demo or you start a new game though). Pressing # does whatever select (or maybe option) does on the original 8-bit version, it will display a little S like character in the bottom display. Anyone know what it's function it.

sku_u Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 It didn't crash on Jum52. I can't figure out the controls, though. Was this a paddle or trakball game originally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 It didn't crash on Jum52. I can't figure out the controls, though. Was this a paddle or trakball game originally?Joystick. Just up, down, left, right. And fire to shoot. So the demo when it is left set for a minute or two runs ok on that emulator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hey Ken, are you still working on finishing fixing your previous releases? I was just testing them out last week and several of them had control problems and a few kept crashing. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch I haven't had any luck with the last release yet. Which games are giving control problems or crashing? If there are any left that crash a short while after being in attract (color shifting) mode let me know since that can be fixed. It would only effet games release on or after Preppie and before which ever game I fixed the problem in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would only effet games release on or after Preppie and before which ever game I fixed the problem in. Well let's see. I don't have a 5200 hooked up at the moment but going from memory; Tapper had pretty sensitive controls, I would often go past the bar I wanted because of it. Archon has major issues with the second controller. On the multigame menu I was unable to select the first two games. Jumpman Jr had very sensitive controls and it seems like that it crashed on me a few times as well. I think that Boulder Dash crashed a few times as well but I'm not 100% sure. I think the others were OK but I'm going on memory so I probably should double check on that. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenfused Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 I hate to come off as clueless, but which game is being discussed in this thread? Captain Beeble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 Here is another attempt to get Captain Beeble to work. Let me know if anyone gives it a try on the real thing. capt5200.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Wow! Quite the neat little game! Kind of a HERO meets Defender kind of bit. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 Another pre-release Up N' Down since someone (or more than one person) has requested it a couple of times. Not the best looking game I have ever seen though. updn5200.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best looking game I have ever seen though. That works well in my JUM52 emulator, although I agree with you about the game not being that great. It's far from a favorite of mine.

classics Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Just tried Capt Beeble on a real 5200 via the multicart, works perfectly. Actually plays pretty will with the regular 5200 controller. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanized Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Now if only we can get Kenfused to convert us some Pinball to the 5200... ...since it's such a tragedy that there are no pinball games for the 5200.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Did they make a 8 Bit version of Bump N Jump? I always liked Bump N Jump better then Up N Down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a pinball game that seems easily converted yet. How many are there besides Pinball Contruction Set based boards, Midnight Magic (available on 8-bits) and Night Mission?

oesii Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Here's two other games, both aren't that great but if you have to have a 5200 pinball game then maybe one of them will do pingames.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I hate to be picky, but the two submitted pinball games here are from Pinball Construction Set, right? If there was any possible way, I'd love to submit a couple my brother made back in the early 90's with the same program. There was a lot more to the design, especially compared to the second one submitted. Of course, these really didn't follow the traditional layout of real pinball machines...we did a lot with changing gravity, secret areas, etc. Still lots of fun, though. If anyone would be willing to convert these, I could send you a disk with the games on it. I can probably only do this once, though, as my blank diskettes are severely limited... PM me if interested.

oesii Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I knew the 1st one was probably a pinball construction based one but I wasn't sure about the Blue Bulldog game, it looked a little different but it might be the same thing. And I guess they can't be easily converted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I'd still like to see someone convert David's Midnight Magic to the 5200. That's an awesome pinball game for the XE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanized Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Oh and uhh.. by the way... sorry for diverting the topic a little, guys. It's just I hadn't seen Kenfused in a bit, and meant to mention the lack of Pinball. And Magic sounds... nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
