youki Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 The game has been fully tested on Standard Colecovision Secam , PAL , NTSC and HBVision. It runs fine. Unfortunately , we don't have Phoenix to test. We are trying to find one to able also to test our future game. (just to validate it works on it) But it is very strange it does not work on Phoenix... Donuts man do nothing "special" nor use tricks or what ever. It seems the Phoenix need an update. I have no clue why it does not work on Phoenix. My target is just standard Colecovision. The Phoenix claims to be 100% compatible, so i assume it should work. Donuts Man uses the same game engine than Muncher Mouse , do you have issue with Muncher Mouse on the Phoenix? Did you raise the issue at Collectorvision? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 thinking about this issue.. make me think to that thread Cavern Fighter and Second Gen Phoenix issues - CollectorVision - AtariAge Forums Is the problem only on a certain version of the Phoenix or certain Core version? From what i can see in addition of our tests on Standard Colecovision Secam , PAL , NTSC and HBVision. It works also on : Colecovision RGB Modded NTSC and Colecovision F18A (NTSC?) modded. That is strange is that is does not crash at the begining , at least at the first level transition. It is always the same code with is executed each time.

Did you raise the issue at Collectorvision? It was 100% compatible with the retail games of yore (except the roller controller issue, which was solved). It has had various issues with a number of homebrews, although I think most of them have been solved with firmware or blocking the 7 and 9 quadrature pins.

Did you raise the issue at Collectorvision? I totally understand that the target is a standard Colecovision. I have Muncher Mouse and never ran into any issues with it that I can remember but will pull it out today to test out of curiosity. The issue with Donuts Man was on a Gen 1 Phoenix... I have a Gen 2 which I may try today as well... again just out of curiosity. I received my Cote package as well as a Collectorvision package on the same day... I have not played the CV games yet which included Cavern Fighter. I have always been drawn to maze games... so DM is the only game I have played a lot :). I played MM a lot when I first got that one as well . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabf has other priorities. I hope we will finally release it one day because it a very interesting project . I use the HBVision to test as it is also based on FPGA and in its current state i think it should be in theory less "compatible" than the Phoenix. so in my mind, if it works on the HBVision , it should work with the Phoenix. But unfortunately it seems not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules : -Play Pengy, on a real console. -film your console and your screen -play in Hard mode -Eliminate all the monsters -don't lose any life -post your video on this topic or on our facebook group -the game ends next Friday, at 19h, the hour of Paris/France. The winner is the one (or those, in case of a tie) who will finish the first 6 levels with the most points.

ColecoDan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 So if you are having a contest to play pengy should I be worried that I haven't received the games I bought in March, I haven't received Pengy, I haven't received my club games. None of these were purchased through your site since it doesn't work. All of them were paid through paypal invoice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanuki Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hum, sorry to hear that. Can you please give me your paypal transaction number. All packages are shipped. If you still don't have it, chances are it is lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have never received notification of shipment I would assume the orders are getting fulfilled from the site transactions and nobody looked at paypal invoices because your site never works for me. P.S. I just remembered, I got the discount for Pengy so you guys knew I had ordered the club. However still no club shipment notification or obviously the shipment.

So it seems it an issue only with the Phoenix 1 ? I don't know the difference between the 1 and the 2 ?... is it a question of core version? the 1 can be update with the core of the 2 ?

It makes my work conference calls go by faster when I am not presenting.. lol... The Gen1 has the v7 CV core and the Gen2 has the v8 core, so there is a difference. They made some changes between versions of firmware due to updates in the hardware itself between generations. I am not sure what those are and if they are going to merge them to make 1 united firmware. At present, they are warning against putting Gen1 firmware on Gen2 and vice versa.
