jfetzer Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I downloaded the .dsk version of this game from game shelf it works but doesnt let you climb up the ropes that are in the game. Its same on real hardware and on the classic99.The cartridge version that have works fine on the emulator but would like play on the real hardware. Is there anyone who has a dsk file that works properly or could tell me how to fix the one on gameshelf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't have an answer to the question, but I do find the name curious. . .as I am jfetzner. . .and there aren't that many folks with either version of our last name in the country. . .

+Ksarul Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 One branch of the family dropped the "n" about six generations back. . .at least from what I've been able to dig up on the subject. That was about the time the first group from the family came to the US (1855 or so). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperious Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I assume it isn't something as silly as You having the Alpha lock key pressed down? I hadn't used a TI for about 27 years so was wondering why "up" didn't work in games, then I realised You have to have the Alpha lock key in the up position, which is something that I had forgotten completely from all those years ago. This is with a joystick of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I assume it isn't something as silly as You having the Alpha lock key pressed down?

This is with a joystick of course. It's RETRO-MOD time! "1N4148"... that's the solution! To this day I wonder why, even after TI became aware of the problem and the simple solution, they never bothered to have the keyboard manufacturer make that one small change in production. But then again, these are the same rocket scientists that came out with the QI unit to prevent third-party cartridges too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfetzer Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 no alpha key is up .I can use the ladders to go up just not ropes.

InfernalKeith Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Some ropes are up-only and some are down-only, if I recall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
