Instead of having to browse through several directories on you multi-cart, you just plug in a cart and it just works. Similar to how there might be a market for five dollar PoP cartridges If people can spare the money, they will pay for convenience. Like buying pre-sliced unions in a plastic bag.

(fake bid?) You would be amazed. I guess there are 2 kind of customers for this: 1) who indeed don't know things through internet 2) people who want a dedicated cartridge just because There companies who offer 5200 conversions and (unreleased) prototypes for rather high prices....

Like we have seen with many other free releases, people are willing to pay for a cartridge with manual and a nice box. Look at a.o.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Unless I'm missing something, I wasn't able to get any of the cart based images to work on my UNO as it just stated incompatible .CAR type when trying to run one of them. So for now I'm using the DD image of it on my FujiNet. It really looks and sounds great! I'm going to be playing it on and off while I'm off this week. My worse issue is that even with my Epyx controller, I'm still having a difficult time getting those running jumps to register. I might switch over to my NES style pad to see if that helps nail those diagonals better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesk8 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Having a cart is not a bad thing I guess. Usually, those are created/distributed by persons involved in the project itself. I think its the best and most transparent approach. I would not mind to buy a cartridge, but from the team endorsed by the creators, especially if the release is of high quality, e.g. Time Pilot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It looks like the masking isn't quite right for a couple of frames, when the prince is climbing up and obscured by a stack of bricks. It looks like too much of the bottom of his shirt, and even some of his stomach skin, is showing here. And then in this one, same thing, but to a much lesser extent than in the previous frame.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It is pretty funny how I've managed to get myself into the same stuck and must reset conditions on this version as I used to do all the time on the PC version. One bug was already mentioned on the second level with the guard and the spikes on the far right where you can set things up in such a way as to cause the Prince to fall through the floor and not register getting killed and the game just freezes essentially at that point. The last one was on level 4 where I was able to push the guard off the edge and into the double set of spikes below. When I cam back through I missed my jump and fell down to that point but didn't actually die as hitting the wall apparently counted as not free falling. Anyway, I was essentially stuck down there at this time with no way to get out and had to reset. Is there a way to just restart the level with out a full reset of the system that I didn't catch in the readme? I know it was possible to do this on the PC version back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 What, no .cas version? Come on! J/k, for the old times sake ? Kudos for persevering and carrying on despite all the, ahem, "distractions", and delivering this quality port. Just tried the Megacart on MiSTer, it's all good. Thanks! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel like adding an Esc key because that would have required a confirmation message + input,... too much hassle, not enough memory! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
