Nukey Shay Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Pressure Cooker...(v1 incomplete) display fix, but sandwiches are visible now when you are walking on the same scanlines. EDIT (v2): Burger bagging screen almost fixed. Extra blue pixels on lower left border removed. There's a slight problem with the color of the tops of chutes...they are recolored a little too soon on the portable. If even a single cycle is added there, they hit too late! Can't fix it either way with that issue...but they are partially colored correctly PressureCooker(AFPv1).bin PressureCooker(AFPv2).bin Edited August 13, 2017 by Nukey Shay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'm giving up on this problem...the portable's playfield issues are just too weird. So I used the player sprites to color the center of the chutes instead. Take a stab at it if ya wanna...the loop in question is at tag LD591. The remaining issue (that I know of) is the right side of the oven on the main screen. This recolor does not show up. It is below tag LD13F. Any other problems with this before I call it quits?

doug0909 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Just checked back on this thread for the first time in a while. I guess no frogs and flies two player hack . I was trying to think of other 1or 2 switch 2600 2-player games and didn't come up with much... Is fall down a 2 switch game? I recall pushing up to jump....

Tangentg Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 There were some games I wanted 2-player hacks of but I forgot which... I think the 2-player game variation of Atlantis was one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug0909 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Or Atlantis one player on each gun.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug0909 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I just replayed fall down... I guess up is used to jump and button for power ups. Giving player 2 four switches doesn't seem realistic, but even keeping the difficulty switch functionality (no wrap around ability - who wants that?), the bw/color button can still be used (pause, but the flashback has its own pause) and select switch (which just gives the title screen) for left and right. That would allow for a good 2-player pass through game (in which I wouldn't see any point to jumping) without powerups.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug0909 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 2016... Not sure if I'm buying the 2017... Does it have its own compatibility thread yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) I've been told the emulation is about the same. Disappointing, but means this thread and all the hacks still apply. And looks like I need to update the first page on this thread again. (Still very much like the Atari Flashback Portable, but since there are not that many changes and all that we suggested suggest fall on deaf ears, no need to buy the 2017 one. ) ------------ Ok, first page up to date, let me know if you have trouble with any of the links or a left a program off the list.

Nukey Shay Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 RallyX: Original toggles VBLANK to create the border. Edited to use the background color register instead (the timing is still slightly off). RallyX(portableV1).bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 How about Concentration / Hunt & Score hack? Move an X over the square you want to reveal and hit the fire button like Flag Capture. Also, 2 player games, players take turns on that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbabyte Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) So happy Rally-X got patched! Gonna go try it right now! Edited October 17, 2017 by Bubbabyte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to use the background color register instead (the timing is still slightly off). Just tested and works great! You are a god! The only issue with it now is that on the very edge of the screen the road sometimes renders in black. It's not that big of a deal, but are you planning on fixing it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Not possible (?) That is the best result I could get for the portable. Delaying or rushing the background color update by even 1 cycle makes it worse (same problem I had with Pressure Cooker). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is I got my AFP the day before you posted it, which is funny because it's probably my favorite homebrew. I actually just joined the forums, and it's been a great experience so far. Again, thanks for fixing it! Edited October 17, 2017 by Bubbabyte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbabyte Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I was wondering if we could get a button hack of Midnight Magic using the same control layout as the Bumper Bash hack. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarifan88 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I tried playing Commando Raid for the first time on my portable and noticed the bottom of the screen that shows how far the paratroopers have dug to get to your cannon is missing or cut off. Is there a way to fix this Nukey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarifan88 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Screen glitch fixed. Also working on a paddle version. This is a great idea. I think a paddle would allow you to get at those tougher angles which would get you higher scores! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The 13 angles are unchanged from the original game, the paddle version just lets you move the gun quicker. Update to fix the remaining display issues. Autofire is also corrected (7800-compatable).
