IMG_8066.MOV Happened again. And once again a power cycle got rid of it. Reset button doesn’t do anything at all in Atari core as far as I can tell.

So I went into the Atari core for the first time since upgrading and I got the high pitched buzz through the tv speakers but I reset the Phoenix then it went away and didn't come back after some other power cycles. During crackpots I did have an audio glitch happen but it looked like the ROM froze up. I do get some random freezes and failures on the Atari 2600 core. The core in general could use some polish and a better instruction set on how it works.

I will try later and report back.

@doubledown How is your Spy Hunter Controller coming along?

What you can shoot after trapping some of the power ups! I wondered what trapping them did

Somewhere on a post by them they said due to licencing requirements it wouldn't be released. Which from what I understood as always been BSR's stance

Unless you beat my score haaha just kidding

After watching the video from the spectrum I think it is just how the game was designed to play and I need to get better. I found on the second water screen with the bat you have to jump if you aren't on the front end of the cross thing you will not be able to land back on it. The spot after the first yellow gate where you are jumping back and forth between the screen with the yellow key and 3 bats and the screen below that has that second water screen I find frustrating to make it back up to the platforms after you have dropped to that lower screen. I seldom manage to make it without taken some severe damage. All of these I think are more related to me needing to find a better technique and improve my skills. For me I think this game is one of those ones that is difficult to master and in order to make it far you have to time things pretty precise to do that.

I have no idea on this. Maybe @Bmack36 can answer. I haven't run any issues but I believe I am using a setup from either Smokemonster or for the Atarimax card (which I am not sure where that would have been from)

Firmware updates and cores are posted at the start of

Looking at the spectrum video that was posted I will have to play it more. What I thought were crazy fast enemies don't look as bad when I compare to the Spectrum version. Might just be a case of this is one of those games that takes awhile to get used to how things control.

I have never played the Spectrum version so I don't know how it plays but now the movements of the main character seem clunky and they aren't fast enough in some sections to get past the bad guys, or in the second spot with water and the floating Bible and the bat if you jump of the bible to avoid the bat it seems like it is moving to fast for you to land back on it. It is much easier to land on the floating bible things to get across the water now though.

So does that mean SGM2 as an add-on for the Colecovision is dead? If it is I might get in on the SGM next run

Pretty sure they were referred to as Left and Right

Totally agree. Was just sharing so that others could try to deploy the same strategy to try and increase their scores.

@Bmack36 shared a post from Season 12 that might help some of us try to get closer to his scores haha
