vdub_bobby Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Don't know if this is MESS-specific, but *holding* the joystick in one direction makes the froggie jump once but plays the jump sound twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much flicker that bugs me as flicker is par for the course for some games (even if this one is not intended to have flicker) Its when the damn thing crashes that gets me pissed. It's such an awsome game, but thats why it's called a WIP and not a 1.0 Keep up the great work dude, "Froggie" keeps looking better and better.

I guess it must be a NTSC only issue because I played it a lot on PAL without a crash. But on the other hand it also didn't flicker on PAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tried this current WIP but the one from OCT 8 crashed alot. Sometimes you could play 1 round sometime you could play 3 or 4 but ti was garunteed to crash though, it was just a matter of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Lover Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 This is quite awesome. Graphically speaking, it looks so much like the arcade version. I can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not flicker like sprite flicker or some artifacting, the whole screens jumps and resets every 5 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I have the OCT 8th version and it never crashes on me, even when the flicker occurs (I have NTSC). I'll have to get this newer version and see how it compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 What I would really like to see is option for TIA sound also. TIA or POKEY would be best IMO. The current WIP with TIA would be great. Even if the BIN has to be uped to 48k or 64k it would still be awsome. I tell ya I get 2 27c256's that would love to to be filled with a Froggie with TIA.

I tried it today on my NTSC device and there is a short flicker sometimes but it's more like the screen going black and shows just nothing but I can't see any screen jumping Anyway I'll try to fix the flicker it in the next release.

I am really not sure about TIA sound. Personally I prefer to do PAL enhancement before doing TIA sound. And to be honest I don't want to spent to much time to finish it.

Hi Matthias i would prefer TIA,because it may be easier to make cartridges. What would happen,if you burn a cart of the actual bin file,but you do not have a pokey? Would it be possible to play the game then,without Sound? greetings Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I played the newer version throughly today and I was impressed with the improvements. On my machine it only flickered occasionally during the very first round. After that the flicker stopped, even after I had a game over and I tried again. I made it through four rounds or so with no flicker or crashing. The only missing would be the snakes, unless those can be turned on or off via the difficulty switches or they were placed in later rounds. Overall, "Froggie" is really good.

+DamonicFury Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Just tried this for the first time and it's an amazing pice of work! Great job! One small suggestion: the game doesn't seem to start at all using a standard 2600 stick, which is kind of a shame. Can it be changed so that pressing the standard fire button will start the game? Also, the RESET switch doesn't seem to work at all... either for starting the game, or resetting a game in progress. Again, fantastic game!

Shawn Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 TIA sound would be a great enhancement. Just use the TIA sound from that earlier build you had with TIA sound. You don't need to change a thing with it as IMO I thought it was good to go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) Froggie just keeps getting better and better! Every time I start the game, I just have to stare at the graphics for a while, and wonder what more the 7800 could have yielded in the hands of the right programmers with the right resources. I have a few suggestions and bug reports about the latest build, if I may. I'm running this on an NTSC 7800, and the occasional flicker is definitely still there. The music, the in-game music in particular, should be softer in volume, so that it's really in the background. Also, some of the tempos are slower than in the arcade game. The lady frog should be a different color than the player's frog. In the arcade game, she has a purple tone. If you hold down the joystick in any given direction, the jump effect is heard twice, followed by what seems to be random noise. During the victory music played at the end of the level, the player's frog can be seen at the lower-right corner of the screen. Like sdamon pointed out, the fire button on a standard 2600 joystick doesn't register. Call me a Cuttle-Cart-carrying smug elitist, but I say stick with the POKEY music and worry about TIA later. Great work! Edited April 30, 2006 by skunkworx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say that, but do you know how much easier it is to find carts to use without a POKEY than with? Also the choice is alwaysa nice to have and I bet alot of CC2 owners don't have a POKEY installed just do to fear of messing it up. It's not my game but if it was I tell ya support for TIA & POKEY would be a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifershalo Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 does someone has the parameters to make it work on CC2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
