FireTiger Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 You could probably load up to 255 lives (this is theoretical as I haven't identified how lives are decremented - I assumed it's DEX or something similar - and I am not sure how this would be handled by display routine). It would also be possible to load different lives number for every player: LDX #5 STX PL1LIVES LDX #6 STX PL2LIVES Just my 2 cents, Cheers hummm... but would that work in the software? **fade out dream sequence** Desert Falcon Advanced... you know made to be compatable with the high score cart and having the ablity to store lives (how about a numerical display instead of the curent one) and a table of heiro-> power and the fix for the 2nd player gets squashed very quicky becuse the code doesn't reset for 2nd player... ** fade in ** [hijack] I need to reload my better graphical art programs...

Bruce Tomlin Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Adding the authentication signature is usually pretty simple if you use the command line utility. Is there a compiled version for OS X? Meanwhile, after trying to compile the one that's out there and getting lost in the crypto library from hell, I've resurrected my disassembly work on the Atari ST version. I should be able to create a lean, clean C version with no library hassles within a week. If you want to test it on your CC2 without signing it, use the 78quick setting. Mitch Which I can't do, because you can't do both 78quick and HSC startups. But I can upload the binary anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 DOH! I just realized... the only changes for high scores are outside of the digitally signed area! Which means that it's already signed from me trying to make an identical binary first! Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Okay 1) it's a bad binary... I had an absolute address when I should have had a label, and it crashes when you get 3 hieros. 2) it didn't seem to see the HSC. More tomorrow.

Bruce Tomlin Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Looks like I needed to set the banking mode right too. I am now the first person in at least 17 years to set a high score with Desert Falcon and the HSC. 7800: Desert Falcon HSC DFHSC78 HSC_48K HSC Here's the fixed binary... and as I mentioned before, using the digital signature from the regular version of DF might be enough. Unfortunately, it looks like it may have been set to hash the entire 48K in the cartridge version, and it's just my hacked 7800 boot ROM that's allowing it to run. dfhsc78.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 ...and it's just my hacked 7800 boot ROM that's allowing it to run. I just tried it on my cc2 and it wouldn't work. It just came up as vertical black lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Yep, that's because of the signature. If it doesn't match, the cart is started up in 2600 mode. Which is why you get TIA bars. You need either a Euro 7800 or a hacked ROM which ignores a bad signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Here's the signed version. I included both BIN and A78 files in the zip. Mitch dfhsc78.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 What's with the emulator (MESS) making both left ctrl and left alt both red buttons? Is there another way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I got that last bin to work, but I think I found a little bug in the transition from a game over to the HSC. I got the game over right on the sphinx and the sound that it makes kept playing as long as the hsc screen was on. Other than that it works great.

cschell Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I knew I had an HSCQUICK startup file. I just forgot to make it available to people other than the beta testers. Anyway, there is now an HSCQUICK startup file available on the CC2 Updates page. http://www.schells.com/cc2utils/cc2files.shtml Also available are a new version of the SC startup files and a new BOOTROM that updates Dev Mode. Enjoy, Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tomlin Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 So what's with the bump? I took it and did the obvious thing: made a version that used the HSC support from the source code. Okay, so it does lock up every now and then, and I really should make another version with less cartridge version code relocated, but so it goes.

Bruce Tomlin Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Okay, now I see what the deal is, it's a reference to the Zaxxon thread. I'll see what I can do to dig up my cleaned-up DF source code and post it as a single .zip file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Sorry bout that guess I could have explained, this one was the only one of the 6 out of order. Had a devil of a time finding it, (searching for all the wrong words)... so you have an optimised DF code compatible with the HSC? Do you have enough room to fix the level up/ two player bug?
