eru Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 As far as I know, the authors plan to release the 'real' final version, with more levels and stuff, and maybe even working on 64kb Ataris. Let's keep our fingers crossed this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy the Atarian Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have an Atari XE and loaded Crownland on it via the SIO2PC (after disabling BASIC). The game loaded and the menus displayed but once it gets to the game, the background is just gibberish and the player just falls to his death. I guess I have to wait for a new version?

+CharlieChaplin Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Nope Shaggy, thats what happens on a 64k Atari. But Crownland requires 128k RAM... -Andreas Koch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 ah, that is too bad. I guess I'll have to find a way to upgrade then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Nope Shaggy,thats what happens on a 64k Atari. But Crownland requires 128k RAM... -Andreas Koch. Still an awesome effort. Between this, Space Harrier and Adventure II, I'm really impressed by the efforts on the A8 platform right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Any mention of this working for 64kb Ataris yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think it's possible rather after this summer. Currently the author is busy doing some demo for our summer party (Glucholazy 2008). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I hope he adds some variety to the enemies and gameplay. I only managed to get through a couple levels, but what I saw got really repetitive really fast. And I hate how you can walk through steps to your death, instead of them blocking your movement as in Super Mario Bros. Great tech demo though. It's a shame that it's so rare for good demo coders to also be good game designers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Is there an ATR of this somewhere so I can run it with my SIO2OSX cable on a real 130XE? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's keep our fingers crossed this happens. That would be fantastic! I found the game a bit too short (though wonderfully executed) and these additions would bring the title to an even higher level! -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Hi, is Fandal's Crownland File a the final version? It seems it isn't, but nothing happened since then... There are some Plans to do more Levels, intros,...? A very nice Game with some more presentation (intro Levels sequence, like C64's Mayhem,...) would put this in an even more higher level. A8 allways misses in intros Levels Films, end Game Films,... Just wathching Mayhem videos and thinking if Crownland could also get sometimes that "Mayhem's Sonic Scrolling Speed type"? What all you coders around here think? (Crownland is Antic4 with DLIs. and 2PMs. Multicolour for "our Kid" and other 2PMs. Multicolour Multiplex/DLIs. to get more than 1Enemy on Screen at a time) If anybody here knows something or just want to talk about this... you're welcome. Thanks. José Pereira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JAC! Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Necrobump, but I had exactly the same question. And because some time has passed the answer might be interesting for others: From what I see the version on the Homesoft Page is the best version. http://www.mushca.com/f/atari/index.php?idx=7#DISK350 1) deactivates BASIC upon start (in case you forget about that) 2) detects if extended RAM is available and reports and error message in case it is not 3) is smaller because of the XEX segment compression use In both case 1 & 2, the original/other versions simply crash, which is a pitty considering the outstanding quality of the game. The original version at AtariMania and Fandal site are identical. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-crownland_20358.html http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=5650 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When booting it always displays the message "program requires 64k extra RAM" and refuses to continue loading, allthough my Ataris do have (much more than) 64k extra RAM available... Maybe the program insists that the computer must have 128k RAM, not more and not less...?!? Would be good to know, if it works correct with a U1MB (in 320k, 576k or 1088k mode)...?!?

I don't know if that version is the same one I have on my 1088XLD CF card, but I just tried the version I *do* have. On an NTSC machine set to use an XL operating system and 1088K, it loads up and starts playing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) I never had a problem with it with 256K (64K+192K), 512K (64K+448K) internal Rambo compatible or 576K (64K+512K) external Rambo compatible Syscheck 2. Warp+, or XL/XE OS's. I've used a real floppy disk and ATR with SIO2PC/APE, and .XEX from MyIDE II FAT32 loader or Side loader on MyIDE II or even .XEX through SDX command line from APT partition.

+CharlieChaplin Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Well, it's just the Homesoft version of Crownland (mentioned in post #18) that does not work on my machines. The other version from e.g. Fandal or atarimania or atarionline.pl works fine. (And both versions are the full versions.) (My four 800XL computers do all have XL-OS Rev. 2, two of them also have OS-A, the other two OS-B, but the switch is always set to XL-OS as standard; all four have 576k RAM which is always fully available, since no switch was installed to switch it off; two of the four computers do have a stereo board by Lotharek, but it is almost always switched to mono - and these are all extensions inside the four computers, so they are not heavily modded.) Homesoft's version does a test if you have 128k RAM available and if not it displays a white text on black background "This program requires 64k extra RAM". And I always see this text on my 800XL computers, allthough they do have 576k RAM available... The other version does not test if you have 128k RAM available and it works fine on my machines. I simply added a Basic-off routine to it, so I do not have to disable Atari Basic manually and added a Gr. 2 text-title (on black background) that displays "CROWNLAND (128K)" while loading. So I know what program is loading and I also know that this program requires 128k RAM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
