BrianC Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Maybe PM Thomas Jentzsch or one of the other programmers? I tried the .dpc and I got the same issue. I don't think it's anything on my end, especially since orb also jitters a bit on real hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccollector Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I could try it on my harmony cart when I get home, I won't be home till tuesday night or wednesday morning, but I will try it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo-Torch Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm guessing this has nothing to do with whether it's on a Harmony cart, Cuttle cart or burned ROM. I bet a real 2600 is the issue. FYI, my Harmony Encore is only a few months old. Have you tried it on the Cuttle cartridge yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that are interested in this, look at the following link: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/240879-game-test-on-harmony-cart/ I have not tried it on the Cuttle cart yet. I have the code out now and I'm making changes so expect a new version soon. I hope to fix this issue without having to rip stuff out. I have a problem with posting a new game and then going right into making another one. Guess I should not do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, my Harmony Encore is only a few months old. Have you tried it on the Cuttle cartridge yet? Just for info. The cuttleCart does not emulate the DPC+. Only Harmony, Harmony Encore, or a game made for you on a Melody board will run DPC+ code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured as it ran all the 2600 and 7800 games it would handle DPC+, but it might not have been around when the cart was made. Good info.

winkdot Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I have posted Doom Patrol 0.6Work has been done on it to reduce the jitter when running on a Harmony cart. I don't think it's perfect yet. I can't test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFL Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Just came across this and it looks great! Sadly, I can't try the game out on my Harmony cart as my telly blew up on me a few weeks ago and my LCD hates the 2600... Still, going to try it out on Stella as soon as I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sweet game! Will this be on a cart? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkdot Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sweet game! Will this be on a cart? Thanks Papa! As for the cart question, I have never followed up on the process to do that, so I'm not sure. I guess it would be nice to have a cart of it though if enough people wanted one. I don't have any idea on how to measure that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send Albert a private message, though wait until November as he's currently very busy preparing for PRGE and will need some time to recoup after he gets back. Are you set up to test on real hardware yet? If not, I highly recommend doing that before looking into releasing your games on cartridge.

Arenafoot Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) It is with a sad heart, I would like to let all of the Atari community know that I just found out Ed Riley "winkdot" passed away last October. Ed was a programmer who created at least 7 known Atari 2600 homebrew games: Cows (2015), Alien Pinball (2015), The Deep (2015), Orb (2015), Doom Patrol (2015), Shark Jaws + (2018), and The Goons (2019). Ed helped me to cover two of his titles, The Deep (volume 2) and Doom Patrol (volume 3) for my book series. When I reached out to him for the title Orb, was when I found out about his death from his daughter, Lindsay. As we never met in person, we had several conversations thru the AtariAge forums and on Facebook. He had plans in 2018 to come to the Houston Arcade Expo and attend my book signing there but, medical issues came up and he had to cancel. In honor of Ed, I have made a dedication ROM pack of his games and a document contained within the pack with information about him. I know Ed would want as many people to be able to play his games as possible. May you get a perfect score playing your games in Heaven.
