timepilot

Any chance that the secret sixth prehistoric (pteradactyls?) level from the GBA version is included as an Easter egg in this release? If so, please tell how to access it! Also, any plans to use this same engine to create a CV/SGM port of Time Pilot '84?

I am having some trouble with my CFFA 3000 remote. This problem occurs in multiple CFFA 3000 boards, including both a Dreher original and one that I bought from ReactiveMicro a few years ago. This problem also occurs in both the IIgs and the //e. Although a workaround exists on the IIgs, no workaround exists on the //e, with the result being that I may not be able to use certain software that I very much treasure on the //e, because I originally used that software on the //e. The problem is that, while playing Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego?, with both of the two disks mounted in Disk II Drive 1, the remote will function only to switch from Disk 1 (the front side of the physical disk) to Disk 2 (the rear side of the physical disk), and not to switch from Disk 2 back to Disk 1. The specific point at which this problem occurs is after successfully completing a round of the game, during which Disk 2 is active, and the game states that your progress will be saved in your record. The game then requests that the user place Disk 1 (the front, boot side of the disk) back in Drive 1 and press enter. Pressing the Drive 1 button on the remote does not restore Disk 1 to active status; instead, Disk 2 remains the active disk image in Drive 1. As a result, it is impossible to save progress in this game. On the IIgs, of course, calling up the CFFA 3000 CDA provides a workaround. Fair enough, so far as it goes. But on the //e, there does not appear to be a way to call up the menu without rebooting. Consequently, there appears to be no way to save progress on the //e. Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego? was a tremendous source of time-wasting for me in fourth grade. I very much want to be able to play this game on the //e, not just on the IIgs. Is there a way to get the remote to perform this crucial disk-image swap on the //e? The remote does work in other situations. For example, the remote works to switch from Disk 1 to Disk 2 in Drive 1 after beginning a round of the game. So this is not a matter of the remote simply failing altogether.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Time Pilot was one of my favorite games growing up. This really is the arcade version at a horizontal TV orientation. Now, can you give the same treatment to Super Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom and Carnival? Zaxxon and Super Zaxxon? You have set the bar for future releases! 🙂

Are there instructions available on how to mod Expansion Module 1 to become a stand-alone machine with its own PSU and AV-out?

Who does that mod and how do I purchase one?!

Thank you. Is there a way to mod Expansion Module 1 to directly output composite video, in order to bypass the F18A-modded CV/Adam for everything other than power supply (and audio)?

Rietveld, Thank you very much. Follow-up question: Does Expansion Module 1 work with an F18A-modified ColecoVision, plus the following composite mod? Does this composite mod create composite output directly from Expansion Module 1, or is it somehow coming out of the ColecoVision itself? And would this composite mod work while using Expansion Module 1 with an F18A-modified Adam?

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know whether the Adam, with an F18A board, will work with Expansion Module 1? My understanding is that the Adam, with an F18A board, will work with the Super Game Module, but I have not been able to find a clear answer re whether it also works with Expansion Module 1. Time-sensitive inquiry here. Any prompt responses would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Problem solved with a firmware update and reconfiguration of the Ultimate PC Interface. It works with Mister!

I have an "Ultimate PC Interface" adapter for my ColecoVision controllers, and it still works great on Windows. Unfortunately, I recently got a Mister, and the adapter does not transmit all button signals from the ColecoVision to the Mister. Huge disappointment. With that in mind, is there a known Mister-compatible USB adapter for ColecoVision controllers? Any leads will be much appreciated. Thank you.

There would be some poetic justice to that. If I recall correctly--and please correct me if I am wrong--many ADAMCons were held in the Great Lakes Region running from Upstate/Western New York State to Chicago, and/or metro Toronto/York.

The annual KansasFest for Apple II users is coming up this week, and it made me want to reach out and ask: Is there any possibility of an ADAMCon revival in the future? Or an ADAMCon/ColecoVisionCon of some sort? One of my big regrets is that I never made the time to go to an ADAMCon years ago, when it was annual.

Indeed. I have been playing Kevtris since the mid-1990s, when I first got into emulation. And now I run it on my actual ADAM using an Atarimax Ultimate SD. I was not aware that Addictus was a SmartBASIC program. Thank you for the insight.

Is there any chance that someone could convert Addictus (the Adam Tetris clone) to work on a ColecoVision with SGM and to work with the game controller rather than with the keyboard?
