Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Interesting project. Probably a bit late now, but I noticed that you encoded all levels by hand. The 2600 original calculates them by using a really simple bidirectional LFSR. Have a look disassembly, its in the web.

Find it really astonishing to generate a 255 screen map with 1 byte. I Didn't look at the 2600 disassembly. I have seen the CV disassembly, but my TI version is pretty much written from scratch (except for tiles&snd). Ofcourse it is not hard to recognize that it is inspired by the CV version retroclouds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+retroclouds Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 The Pitfall! cartridge for the TI-99/4A is becoming reality! I finished debugging and testing last week and the EPROMS and PCB's for the first batch are currently in the works. You can see a youtube video of the cartridge version here Next week I will be contacting the folks that are on the pre-order list for the first batch. If all works out well, cartridges can be sent out by the end of February Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+retroclouds Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 This week I received all components required for doing the first batch of cartridges. So I'm pretty excited about that. Bad news is that I did have some unexpected costs for the first batch, that is the reason I haven't contacted anyone on the preorder list yet. Trying to keep costs to a minimum, but have to make sure I don't loose too much money on it. I'll be contacting the people on the preorder list, once I have most of the carts assembled and know about the shipping costs. Planning on posting some pictures of the assembled carts soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
