The game is progressing nicely. No all good! Great you are loving playing!! I've had a bit of a look at the slowdown issue and think it may be related to the sound - make a change to a setting and after a good play it appears to no longer happen. Will continue to watch out of it though. Enjoy your holiday!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Did my ears miss something. Are people playing the game on the real machines now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been using my Mateos multi-cart. I believe some of the other developers have Dev carts that they’ve been using with actual hardware. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'm also testing on real hardware using the same 7800 boards I use for homebrew games. Hoping to be able to test the game with a POKEY this weekend. ..Al 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Is paddle mode actually working on this yet? I can't seem to get any paddle response when using my 7800 Arcade Pro controller from Curt Vendel although I know the paddle worked fine in other games I tested it with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the paddles are plugged into the second controller port. They work fine for me. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title menu ATM need you to select options using the joystick but once the paddle is selected you can push that button to start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paddle built into Curt Vendel's 7800 arcade controller is flipped on with a switch in port 1 of the console. Oh well...at least that answers that question, thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mksmith Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 So @Defender_2600 has been doing some very nice work to make the Doh level a worthwhile achievement to reach. We've taken the available brick colors and used them to provide a multi-color background as well as the giant Doh breaking through with the pipes and edging visible. Looks great but still more work to do and additional stuff planned! We've also taken this opportunity to push the vaus down lower to provide some additional space between the bricks/doh and vaus. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really looking amazing! I was only able to get to level 12 on the binary I played over the weekend. I had the same ball stuck condition happen that happened to @sramirez2008 only mine was stuck on the column to the left of where his got stuck. And the default sounds being made from the TIA on this are excellent as well. I only had the PC version of Revenge of when I was younger but the sounds and graphics so far are bringing back those flood of memories. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the report - will be looking at the ball movement soon ? Sythpopalooza has definitely done a great job on the sound and music - very much arcade like. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I know that when I started this, I knew we could easily beat the NES version in terms of the music ... it was my goal to make it sound as close to the arcade as we could get. I have always enjoyed this game in it's arcade form. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mksmith Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hi everyone, Just letting everyone know we are still beavering away and have some very nice graphical enhancements coming for the next release as well as some additional functionality on the Doh level. I want to try and finalise all existing gameplay over the next couple of weeks before tackling the next review of the ball movement and adding the enemies and high score entry. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
