+CyranoJ Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Not quite the powerhouse Dactyl Joust, but still a great game! '1' or '2' on Pad 1 to select one/two players Joust.ABS This only took 20 minutes, so very happy with it! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felyx Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Here are some deco for the CD-R and its DVD box: This time I found on a real gem: an Atari ad for Joust from the eighties: so kitsch! I decided to modify it a bit to add it on the back of the DVD sleeve instead of the usual 4 screenshots. The original piece of Atari history (and totally kitsch) the DVD sleeve: The CD cover: Don't play Joust...Live it Edited February 18, 2015 by Felyx 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CyranoJ Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 First crack at sound in this.... *warning* its very rough (did I mention I'm crap at editing samples?) and also not working quiiiiiite right. 9750bail.abs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hey I loaded this up, Joust with sound now for the Jaguar? Oh yeh!! The samples (which I get the impression are stand in) basically all fired at the right time. We had the opening "music" which was about as much music as the Arcade had. You had the hitting effects, teleporting, clashing, picking up effect, award effect, the effect when the floating islands disappear, and the Dactyl sound effect. You had the running sound effect when your mount is running on the ground but no flapping sound effect. My only suggestion to whoever brings in the final sound samples is this: The ST version graphically was close to the Arcade and the gameplay was fairly close. The sound in the early ST games let's admit (especially with Joust and Star Raiders) was sub par. The hitting sound effect in Joust for example sounds like a hitting effect on an Intellivision. Love the Intellivision and on a 10 bit system (or whatever it is) that sound effect is great. On a 64 bit Jaguar, not so much. So if you have to add samples anyway, why not sample the Arcade effects (or a better version). Hell, even the Atari 8-bit sound effects were better than the ST effects and I'd be happy to make samples from that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 How about when I get it working I post the samples here... Then you can grab the arcade and a8 samples for the equivalent sound effects, and I'll add a menu so you can select how you'd like the game to sound (ST, A8, Arcade) ? Lets get some teamwork here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 OK Highscore name entry works Screen clears on game start All sounds triggered correctly (I think) Joust.ABS And here's the samples from the ST version - feel free to make me another set from a different version JoustSounds.zip 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 And here's the samples from the ST version - feel free to make me another set from a different version JoustSounds.zip A lot of these sounds are pretty good. What was "JoustOc" supposed to be? I don't hear much from that one. If we make another set is this the way the files need to be named?

+CyranoJ Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi Clu Can't remember what 0C sounds like - I'm at work now. If you create a new set please keep the last two characters the same (so,01-0F) so I know which ones to match them with. I'd suggest ARC_0x.WAV or A8_0x.WAV as the format.

doctorclu Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Awesome. Will see what I can do. In the meantime, I was checking for arcade sounds and found quite a few. Particularly at this website... http://www.rip-factor.com/audiodownload.html We could even have a 2600 set. Actually the sounds were surprisingly better than I remembered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Currently have 11 Atari8 Joust sound samples (working on it now) From the ST sounds, here is the best I was able to figure out on what they do. I might just put the Atari8 Joust sounds and say "Egg Open sound" ect. 0a - Flap 0b - Chirp 0c - small beeo 0d - ? Oe - opening music Of - ? 01 - ding 02 - Dactyl Explosion 03 - Dactyl 04- Teleport 05 - Small Explosion 06 - Hit 07 - ? 08 - Pick up 09 - Small beep higher JStart- Start Edited November 10, 2015 by doctorclu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'll check them when I get in, some of the sounds might not be used at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
