shanti77 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Is only old 64k NTSC version (from SV2017). Version 64pal will be work on ntsc but, sometimes they will be slow down, and you see graphics glitches (of course colours will be bad). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I think he's hinting at the 64k NTSC version get whatever fixes or enhancements the 64k PAL version received... whatever they might be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+gnusto Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Did we ever get a box mockup for this excellent port? It pains me to use the screenshot in my front end :(. My photoshop skills are terrible, but I think I'll poke at it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 From what I understand, previously there were four (??) versions: 64K NTSC without samples 64K PAL without samples 128K NTSC with samples 128K PAL with samples Now there is a new 64K PAL version with samples (which might run on NTSC too but uneven frame rate and wrong colours), plus that the two 128K versions were unified into one that automatically detects PAL or NTSC. It would possibly leave it open for a 64K NTSC version with samples, if that at all is technically possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The 64k PAL seems to run fine on my NTSC and I can’t tell any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterola Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 There was a 64k pal version with samples. I kept playing that version on my ntsc machine, because I like to have the samples, even if it was playing a little faster. So 64k pal with samples is not new.. Or I am remember incorrectly? Maybe only some samples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only some samples? You're right... previous 64k PAL version with 5 samples exists (look one page back here). New version seems to have more or all samples in the 64k version.

+x=usr(1536) Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Question for anyone with an NTSC machine and #FujiNet: are you having any trouble with getting Bosconian to run? I'm attempting to use Version 1.5f (from this post) on an NTSC 800XL with 256K of RAM. The memory checks out OK per XRAM, and uses XE-style 16K banks. The game is being loaded from the #FujiNet's SD card, not over the network. Both the 64K and 128K versions will load the title screen, then go no further. I've left both sitting for extended periods of time and there's no change. Any ideas? I'm stuck at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how I missed that in everything I read and tried, but it's loading now. My apologies for the wild goose chase. You know how some days are ones where you're smarter than on the others?

shanti77 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Perhaps, but it was the only one I had available and it met the requirements. There is not much memory left in the game, so the music had to be short, it should sound good on two channels, and even on one. Unfortunately, the panel occupies one sound channel, and the other almost all the time is occupied by the sound of gunfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
