    Hi!

     

    I've got my copy today but I'm not able to boot from it. STC logo appears and nothing more... :sad:

    I'm sorry to hear that. Could you please tell me what Jaguar setup you are using? Also please specify if it's a M or K series Jag.

     

    Regards, Lars.

     

    It's unmodified M series PAL Jag.

    Hi,

     

    Is the music too fast under PAL due to it being a US release?

    Is the table at L_8614_0A a note-length, e.g. increments of 6

    for an NTSC machine = 1/10 sec, so could be change to

    $05,$0A,$0F etc for PAL?

     

     

    I tried to run it on PAL/NTSC and I don't think music is faster under PAL. Or am I wrong?

     

     

    I notice too a dodgy way they install/leave the vbi:

    jsr $C272 ;A05F 20 5C E4 ; nahozeni VBI

    and

    jmp $C28A ;BF8D 4C 62 E4 ; zmena - odskok z VBI

    So this could crash under some O/S's?

     

    Regards,

    Mark

     

    I had to change it to JSR $C272 as I'm using memory under OS (8kB in area $D800-$F800). And my file version is designed for 130XE so routine for setting VBI should be always right there (I hope).

    Hi all!

     

    In the attachment you can find source code of my file version with my comments in Czech language :) Source code is designed for use with MADS.

     

    And here's the list of cheats I found in original cart dump:

     

    CTRL+number = level teleport

    SELECT (pause) -> CTRL+SELECT+ENTER -> SELECT = teleport to the top of tower (don't use on elevators!)

    It attached - though unfort there is a bug which I cannot fix :( -

     

    The autorun.sys used to load to CHR sets into memory and the basic file would alternate between them to give them motion. Either I cant find my final version or something went whacky - it doesnt work :( - I have to manually run the program to load 1 chr set in and then run the game.

    It only works in 800 mode. my friend who wrote the few ASM routines around the chr set flipping did something XL/XE OS doesnt like..................

     

    Its a 32K basic program so hopefully you can learn something from it - maybe not :)

     

    The Break key is disabled but you can hit Reset and load in the files manually.

     

    I loved the Ultima series so I wrote a game in basic as best I could 20 years ago :)

     

    Well, I simply don't know what to do. How can I run your game?

    Ok it seems I have some missing items!

     

    All from Basic

     

    You need to load the file LOAD2.FNT

    on line 20 it sets up to load 2 font files - FOR and FOR2.FNT, for some reason FOR is not on the disk - I must be missing one of the font files that I need to dig for.

     

    Change FOR to FOR2.FNT and run

     

    it will error on LINE 90 for some reason - I dont know why - been a long time

     

    You can now run one of the following:

     

    DEMO (gives some instructions)

    FOREST (the game itself)

     

    You should be able to see/do everything - just the font doesnt change.

     

    It only runs under OS-B

     

    Another missing file "BEG" is required on line 150...

    Thanx alot, Fandal!

     

    Again, great work! And that you were able to fix the known bugs is ... eh, superb! (can't finde the right vocable...)

    What do you think, are you able to do a file-version of Midimaze? I dream of a version with altered network-code,

     

    As all network modes of Midimaze are based of hardware connected to the SIO-Port of the Atari, it would be great to

    have a SIO2PC or Lantronix-USD10 mode added or exchanged with one of the modem-modes. Even a 2-player-mode

    with a crossover-Siocable would rock.

     

    It's lame to play with dumb drones or get askicked by unfair good ones. Playing with real people would make the game

    really cool.

     

    Imagine to connect real machines over the internet like it is possible for Telnet'ed BBS.

    Wohoo! That would rock.

     

    Greetings,

    Beetle

     

    Well, it's interesting idea. File version of MidiMaze with modern network support.

    I think it's prossible but MidiMaze is 128 kB cart so file version would require 256 kB of expanded memory...

    I'm going to discuss it with Raster and Bob!k of C.P.U. as it would be big project and I'm total lamer in HW.

    OK.

     

    Here's fixed Tower Toppler cart image.

     

    List of chages:

     

    1) removed annoying gray (probably debug) line

    2) fixed wrong animation of enemy

    3) fixed length of jumps (one more pixel) so levels 6 and 8 can be finished now.

     

    I had to change only 10 bytes in original cart image and another 16 bytes were added to solve some problems with missing animation...

    What's wrong with using Tower Toppler? It's the US name, not something unofficial...

     

    All is wrong about that name. The guy who wrote it called it "Nebulus", period.

     

    And what's with that ugly b/w screenshot? From the Spectrum version?

     

    I wouldn't change its name. It was released as Tower Toppler on ST and I think Atari had the same idea with A8 version.

     

    Fandal,

     

    Can you give us a patched XEGS rom, with the animation fixed?

     

    If you care I'll release fixed ROM as well.
