Q*bert and Frogger homebrews? Any update?

[godzillajoe]

Whatever happened to these? Are they still in progress? Finished? Abandoned?

[Schmutzpuppe]

Frogger/ie is still in progress.

I made some progress since the last public version but things are going on very slowly mainly because I am currently very busy with my job

minor b*nQ update.

 

(1) b*nQ and the snake now accelerate a little as they fall.

(2) Cosmetic fixes to the high score entry screen

First time I ever played Bonq was last weekend.

It is awesome. Very good job!

Here is the latest version of Froggie with HSC support and a different (harder) game mode which is planned to be a second mode in the game.

Maybe it's a bit too hard I have to figure out that.

Only the first three levels are different in pattern the other are only different in speed (yet)

What a wonderful age we live in (well, 7800 homebrew wise anyway).

Lots of updated graphics thanks to Bakasama.

b*nQ and coily objects now have more colors and have been redone. Let me know if this causes any issues. I haven't seen any sprites or parts of sprites disappear in game, and I was trying really hard to get lots of stuff on a line when I have been play testing. Also new graphics for the curse bubble.

 

Known issues (when played on the real thing):

(1)On main title screen, colored line(s) typically appears above the joystick graphics.

(2)On high score display screen part of the left most qbert flickers or disappears.

(3)In game, when a disc is ridden to the top, it will cause one pixel tall graphics glitches around the score or a disc that is at the top (extra colored pixels here and there).

The game looks great, yet. As I like it on my emulator, I´ll love a cart

[AtariRocks]

Latest version of BonQ looks really nice Ken. The only thing I noticed and it may have been like this for a long time is your name is fuzzy on the title screen on my TV using my CC2.

Greens and even some purples look like very bad even on my a-v modified 7800 (using composite). The greens kind of get echoes a couple pixels away. I assume you are maybe seeing something similar. Also note that each character there is only 3 pixels wide, so N's will be hard to read. I don't know what I could do other than changing the colors.

Hi all!

 

Just a stupid question from A7800 newbie.

Is there any other way how to run program on real A7800 HW than cart? Something like BJL on Jaguar?

 

Thanx for any info.

You can try the 7800 dev system.

I should also mention Graham's site with the larger RAM cart. It runs on the 7800 dev system that I linked to above.

Yeah, that and the Ramona cart were very time consuming to build!

I'm all ready for Froggie with my newly built Frogger Stick.

[Atarifever]

The local Pizza place just got an old Frogger cabinate this week, and I played a bunch today. It was a good way to get pumped for Froggie. Now if they would get a Q-Bert I'd be all set to check arcade exactness of the translations.

[birdie3]

Man. I just played that Froggie beta. Dude. This is bloody awesome!!!! I am really surpised that there aren't more comments on here about this. Really looking forward to this one.

[+TrekMD]

I just played the Frogger homebrew. Pretty tough to play. I'm using ProSystem emulator and had no sound when playing the game. Does it have sound? I realize it is a beta version and is not complete.

I believe frogger, or one of the test versions of it at least, maybe only has pokey sound?

not 100% sure, but it has no sound on my CC2, and yes it does have a Pokey chip installed
