    I'm copy-pasting this topic from another forum (since I'm getting a grand total of zero responses), hope you guys don't mind...

     

    I’m having a hard time finding Mega Drive accesorys at reasonable prices.
    I’ve recently been looking for a model 1 Master System Converter, but the cheapest one I can find is £30.
    The Sega 32X is even worse in this regard, dispite Mark mentioning how it could be picked ip cheaply, the cheapest one I could find was £100!

    Could you guys throw me some pointers on where to look?

    First things first, how can I get the Atari 2600 to show up on the system select menu? If I add a blank .zip it shows up but it gives me a missing files error.

    Secondly, the text resolution seems to decrese when I enter a system:

    The issue is having a control that basically 'save to play', 'exit to menu', and 'random maze' as well as the toggle. I couldn't come up with an elegant solution with the 2 buttons, unfortunately.

    Why not make button 2 bring up a menu where you can choose these options? Might work.

    Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!

    Will definitely dip my toes into this program soon. :)

    Also:

     

    When you double-click 7800bas.bat and see the window appear and disappear, it's normal. It does that because it's the batch file is meant to be run from a CMD window, instead of being double-clicked. (but I should probably add some kind of detection for this, with a warning message)

    I can see alot of other programs ran from the command line benefiting from this...

    Owning a PAL Atari 7800 (With Asteroids built in to the system) I have some questions...

     

    1. I once saw a page that said the 7800 couldn't play 2600 games that used bacnkswitching, is this true? (if it helps, the only 2600 game I have is Crystal Castles)

    2. I also saw a page that said that the Starpath Superchager didn't work with the 7800, is that true?

    3. My copy of Donkey Kong JR (The only 7800 cartrage I have) dosen't have the rainbow atari logo when it boots up, why might that be?

    When I try to compile:

    Could not locate sed.exe. Please copy sed.exe to E:\VisualBB\bB. This will improve DASM error reporting

    ...what is going wrong? :?

    Welp, I've wanted to have a crack at making my own Atari 2600 game with VBB, but there just isn't a "how to make a simple game" tutorial that I know of that isn't the outdated tinkernut tutorial, and that didn't go through everything. I also wonder if there is a tutorial on using the title screen kernal.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've been using vBb on a portable hard drive and an idea came into my head:

    The problem with using vBb on a portable hard drive is that the settings won't stay (as they get saved to registry).

    What I'm asking for is a feature to save vBb's settings to a file (Like a .ini file) located in the same directory as VisualbB.exe and have the settings load when you open vBb.

    Well, it seems (or should I say it is) very unfinished... for one thing the game feels to slow for me. (Are you going to make it faster as the game goes along?) I think the crow should make a sound and change visually when its hit. (As in having it explode or it falling of the screen. One last thing I dislike is how the game just freezes when you lose. But big trees from little acorns grow and I hope that this can turn into a fun 2600 game. :)
