Pixelboy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I dont have any sound. why is that? i checked the settings and the sound option is checked. The game itself is an unfinished prototype. There's no sound because it was never programmed in the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the sound from an atari 5200 game would work if I added it to the folder. do you think its compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't MAME, you know. ColecoVision emulation doesn't work with sound samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARTRIDGE STEALER Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 ok, Im assuming that this proto type is only the emmulation version that doesnt have sound, correct? I wish someone would add it like the coleco cartridge did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I talked to the sound programmer and he said that he had completed the sound for Coleco Joust. So it exists (well it DID at one point anyway), but just not in the prototype we have. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a repro cartridge, they were sold several years ago. IIRC they don't have any sound either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARTRIDGE STEALER Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 thats one thing I wished Atari did was extend thier library to other systems as much as Coleco did for thiers. I know it was basically competing with themselves when they did that but Coleco had no problem doing so. It would have been so nice to see thier whole library on coleco.

They were available for a short time from AtariAge but they were later pulled, I believe, due to a request/demand from Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been a really short time, I've been around for 6 years and lurked on the Nexis and don't remember ever seeing those. I would have most likely ordered one if I had seen it. Oh well I guess I missed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoNation Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm not sure if this has ever been mentioned about CV Joust, but there's a bunch of different game variations that can be accessed with the keypad. I don't remember the numbers that you push, but I know one of them lets you advance levels without having to complete them. The more times you press the number, the more levels you skip. It's a great way to see all the different levels of the game and to see how difficult it is at the end. This feature is most likely there because it was a prototype used by programmers still testing out the game. Pushing other numbers did other things too, but I can't remember exactly what. I want to say that you could become invincible, or get an increase of lives, or play without any enemies on the screen, but all three probably aren't true. I'll try to find some time to play it so I can more accurately document the game variations. If you didn't know about these variations, then be sure to try it out yourself. They're pretty cool. + Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - to be able to embed the sound code into the game and have a complete version of Joust would be awesome. Maybe someone on the ColecoVision homebrew scene would be up for the challenge. I'll post a message on the ColecoVision programming board to see if anyone is up for it (assuming you'd be willing to let them have a copy of the source code).

opcode Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, I would try to add it to the game, if you don't mind sharing the source code (and depending on how complete it is). Eduardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoNation Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Will have to give this a go myself. How did you find out about this? One day while I was playing, I just started pushing buttons... I know, Sherlock I'm not. So I played it tonight and I now remember what extra things you can do. While playing a game, you can do one of four things by pushing buttons on the keypad: 1) You can pause it by pushing [#] 2) You can instantly advance to the next wave, receiving the bonus points for "completing" it, by pushing [8] 3) You can put the game into slow motion by holding down [1], [2], [3], or [4]. The higher the number, the slower the game gets. 4) You can turn the sound on by pushing [0]... Just kidding. Wanted to make sure if anyone was paying attention. But the first three actions really do work, so check them out. + Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
