keitaro Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Of course I'm still interested. (In fact, I'm interested in all your recent projects, I'm going for Meteor Shower too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC-MAN PRIME Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi Bob, Is it too late for me to be added to this list? I would love to pick up a copy of Pac-Man 320 along with Meteor Shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Defender_2600 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm still interested. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Ok then - Pokey version attached. I plan on attempting to make this one 'Dual Mode' i.e. uses Pokey when XM is attached, but TIA when it's not. It also supports the HSC. Right now, the TIA sound code is still there, I just have a flag telling which sound code to use. I plan on using the routine that GroovyBee wrote that detects the Pokey (of course in the $450 address instead of $4000). Enjoy! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I will gladly pay for a dual mode cart when the time arises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNerd Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) You spoil us. Hmmmm, on Prosystem 1.3e, a second or two after I eat an energizer, the screen locks up - the energizer sound continues on, though. I'm not a professional user, though, so bug dissection is not a specialty. Edited June 18, 2011 by AtariNerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) WOW, Bob! Just fantastic. Under MESS (0.142u5) with the relatively newly added HLSL, along with the Pokey now, this game sounds, looks, and plays incredible. Thank you so very much!

AtariNerd Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Yeah, plays fine under the latest build of MESS - must be another Prosystem bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Hey: Thanks guys ... There actually is an issue on the real thing. I have the Pokey Detection working correctly (thanks Groovy Bee!) but when the Pokey is used, there is one of the lower zones that sporadically gets corrupt. It's *very* hard to reproduce, so I am having a hard time figuring it out. It's only one zone, and it *seems* to be only the character mode that gets affected. Bob EDIT - Mods, can I have the ability to change the thread title to something more descriptive? Thank you Edited June 18, 2011 by PacManPlus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be related to that? PM me if you want to discuss. Perry Edited June 18, 2011 by tep392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 EDIT - Mods, can I have the ability to change the thread title to something more descriptive? Thank you You should be able to now. Also, I want a cart whenever you get around to making them. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wow - I forgot that you were a mod - sorry Mitch, if I had known it was you I wouldn't have addressed the request to 'mods'. I will reserve a cart for you. Thanks for the offer, Perry. It ends up that the DL itself is getting overwritten (looking at the pokey code, I changed everywhere it looked like it should have been - but it still happened - not 100% sure it's that). I ended up with a 'band-aid' for this one, being I couldn't figure it out. I moved that DL to another place in memory and it seems to work fine now. From what I could test, it works fine in MESS, ProSystem, and the real thing. Let me know if anyone finds any issues. I have the Pokey checking for address $4000 just to test with (so it will work in the CCII). Once we are sure it's ok, I will change it to the $450 for the XM before making carts. So it will work stand-alone (TIA Sounds) or with the XM (Pokey Sound) Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSprinter Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Put me down for a copy. Also, for some reason the 320P version crashes both ProSystem and MESS. MESS just gives an "unspecified error", while ProSystem just crashes. Edited June 19, 2011 by NightSprinter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MESS just gives an "unspecified error", while ProSystem just crashes. Hmmm... the PAL version crashes for me too. But I just checked and it creates a valid binary. Can anyone in PAL land check to make sure it runs on the real thing? Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Quack Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi Bob, I don't have any way to test this besides the cart. I do like the way that the Jr Pac Man is at a higher speed. Is there a way to play at fast speed or normal speed. Some way to be able to select this before the game starts. Just a suggestion. I also would like a cart of this too! Please add me to the cart list. Thanks for making all the great games you do for the 7800! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipj Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Here's some raw pcm sounds that I converted from "Pac PC2" dos game... I wanted to convert them to wav but I have to do another time; I used "CoolEdit 96" to convert them. I downloaded the game from JROK's Homepage. I've used the sounds in some music I made a while back... The sample rate 16000 8bit mono; I hope this helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekTXz8lVfVA&feature=channel_video_title Pac Man.zip Edited June 20, 2011 by philipj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipj Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Ok here are the Windows PCM conversion of the Pac PC sound effects... The sample rate and everything previously mentioned are all the same. I was thinking, some of the music for PacMan might can be redone using TIA native sounds. Donkey Kong for the 7800 was a good example of using TIA native sounds. MS Waves.zip Edited June 20, 2011 by philipj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hey Bob, also been trying the latest versions (the .bin file works, but the .a78 one crashes). Noticed neither ProSystem or the latest version of MESS for me plays either with the pokey sound. The previous version of the rom did somehow.

PacManPlus Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi: I had put in the Pokey detection code in the ROM for this version, but neither of the emulators contain the same values as the real thing after a Pokey Reset (which is why it's not detected). It does work on a real 7800, however. Maybe I'll post a straight Pokey version here after I look at one more issue. As far as it crashing, only the PAL version crashes for me (but it works on the real thing - thanks Walter!). I just tried it again to confirm. Let me find this other issue I'm having and we'll try again. Thanks! @phillipj: Nice work on the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
