+Roydea6 #58 Posted January 1, 2014 These xenon files don't seem to play on real hardware.. But they are great in the emulator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+tzeb #59 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) These xenon files don't seem to play on real hardware.. But they are great in the emulator. Hello rdea6, I have just tested them on an 800XL and they work for me. I am Using AspeQt, put the files in a mounted folder image (mounted as d4:), booted with MyPicoDos and executed them from d4:. Do you get any error message? BTW they are developed for a PAL system, perhaps that is the problem? BTW2: an XL/XE is needed (64KB required) Edited January 1, 2014 by tzeb 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to you, I have one reason more to get rid of the ST. Thanks for creating it! Edited January 1, 2014 by ProWizard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+tzeb #61 Posted January 1, 2014 ... BTW2: an XL/XE is needed (64KB required) (Could not edit my posts anymore) I have updated the zipfile; the soundplayer now checks and reports if <64KB has been found. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have all NTSC Atari's so if they are for PAL this explains my problems.. Still they are great sounds and I like them with the emulator.. Big reason I was disappointed was My Atari setup is in the back room where all the entertainment equipment is.. Thanks for the answer... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+playsoft #63 Posted January 2, 2014 pps was right - there are other Bee Gees fans in the world! My midi converter is extremely basic at the moment but this turned out well enough that I wanted to do something with it - hence the karaoke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaven/TQA #64 Posted January 2, 2014 Great work guys. PPS I like esp. your son's attempt... Atari Basic rules and this "instant programming" you don't get on any me known platform today. Switch on and code plus run without compiling IDE or anything else... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+therealbountybob #65 Posted January 2, 2014 Had fun watching, listening & playing the entries (Lunar Blitz 21,224 Lv4; Cave Blaster 822) Keep up the good Atari work in 2014 and Happy New Year everyone p.s. thanks for the mention Sikor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holgibo #66 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) hi bountybob, my best score for caveblaster (compiled version) is 1628- and powersoft has a score of 1670(!!!) Just a few tipps: - Use the boost to get faster left or right - use the blast only if it is absolutely neccessary, often you can fly around using the boost option - training, training training - don't look at the scoreline, the game is to fast for it. just fly. - allways keep your ship in the middle. BOOST: This makes your ship nearly two times faster (left/right). With every new ship you get 99 blastpoints. BLAST: Clears an aera around your ship, perfect for breaking trough walls or other things in your way. You have 9 boosts for the whole game. If one of this used up, the flipping color turns to brown, if both are zero it will turn to red. RANKING: 0-999:Spacecook 1000-1999: Spacecadet 2000-2999: Bigblaster 3000 and more: Mr.Spiff! Have fun playing the game! edit: corrected boost/blast :-) Edited January 3, 2014 by holgibo 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+therealbountybob #67 Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks holgibo I was wondering what the boost did! I'll add this to my weekend Atari schedule [spy Hunter in the HSC folks] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+therealbountybob #68 Posted January 4, 2014 Moved up from Cook to Cadet on Caveblaster! (1,340) Some feedback: Could do with preventing double blast as it's too easy to waste them. The blue flickering pmg is a bit annoying And a minor one - could also add fire to start (prevent title screen being skipped!) Nice fun game with a mix of skill and luck Have I seen something else from Gringosoft? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holgibo #69 Posted January 4, 2014 Cool , 1340 is a good score! Preventing double blast: Hm, is possible to prpgram, but later in the game can be situation where you need double blast. Annoying blue flickering PMG: This happened because of the compiling, i will fix this in the next version. I will slow the flipflop effect down, like in the uncompiled version. Start with firebutton: Good Idea, when the game is over there could be a short message" AGAIN? PRESS FIRE!" After a short time it will change to the titlescreen. Noticed. More from Gringosoft? Yes, I made "Caterpillar", a game for up to 4 persons with paddles. This game made the 6th place in the Abbuc Software Contest 2012. This year I will do some changes in this game. I hab problems to compile this game, because of some code. When this is fixed, it will be more playable with 4 players. And I want to add the joystick-option for two player-sessions. Please post a photo when you got the Mr.Spiff! Rank :-) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sikor #70 Posted January 5, 2014 1428 in Caveblaster (POC compiled version ). Nice game 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+therealbountybob #71 Posted January 5, 2014 It came to me in the night... but that's another story... you could make down a single bast and leave up as it is. Ok Sikor 1428 eh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sikor #72 Posted January 5, 2014 Ok Sikor 1428 eh?Yes, 1428 I have Caveblaster+ beta version working fine now (as Holgibo), but this version will be available when I get music for Title screen Ekhm, an plus version has one surprice... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
holgibo #73 Posted January 5, 2014 Yes, the caveblaster+ will have a special feature. It has some great improvements on graphics and some minor code changes (attractmode is now off and flipflop bar is now slow). BTW my best score is 1628 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
