Guys, MESS' 2600 driver is starting to look pretty good!

I woke up this morning, and MESS now supports the Atari Driving controller, the CBS Booster Grip controller, and (I think preliminary) support for Coleco's KidVid controller! :D

 

The KidVid stuff needs more testing, I'm not sure how these work, but MESS is playing audio from the cassette tapes.

Seems to me Kool-Aid Man is tough to get working, but I couldn't tell you the technical reasons why.

 

Kool-Aid man was fixed today, however we are not sure if the score numbers are spaced correctly.

 

The spacing of the numbers in the score is worse in 0.116 than it is in this screenshot, but it still does not look perfect. However the fix did make Realsports Basketball 100% correct which I believe is another first for emulation! :D

 

Can anyone take a picture of Kool-Aid man score running on a real machine so we can see what it is supposed to look like?

 

The stars in Rabbit Transit were also fixed in MESS today. :)

I think Meltdown is one that usually causes problems and maybe video pinball. I'm sure there are others.

I noticed a very interesting change in Meltdown today with MESS. I think it is caused by the RIOT updates. I am going to have to verify the behavior against real hardware with TJ's help tomorrow.

Okay the interesting change was just what happens when the difficulty switch is set to A. However, I did come up with a hack to make meltdown perfect in MESS.

I downloaded Mess .115 to give it a go. Well, my results from very little testing are dubious. I first tried Communist Mutants from Space and it doesn't seem to want to work at all, unless I have to do something special to get those Starpath games to work.

 

Commie Mutants appears to be running perfect now in MESS. :D
