+Yurkie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I burned the lastest .bin and plugged it into a modded Centipede board with a socket and it plays really nice. The only issue I saw was sound lagging. Really nice looking graphics. It would be great if this was finished and sold in AA store. When I get a ballblazer donor I will try the .bin in it and see if I get Pokey sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMos3 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If you don't get to it first, I'll post my result. I have a Ballblazer donor socketed and ready to go... just waiting on the EPROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lendorien Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 It'd really be nice if this was done and ready for when the XM comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaynz Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hate to jump in a necro-thread, but Frogger was one of my favorite classic arcade games. Has there been any news at all on this front, or is the game abandoned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hate to jump in a necro-thread, but Frogger was one of my favorite classic arcade games. Has there been any news at all on this front, or is the game abandoned? I would say more like completed than abandoned. I have played this on my CC2 and it is good. I guess you can get a Custom Atari 7800 Cartridge made or wait for the H2 to come out and get one and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynz Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 So, I can take the rom from the end of this thread, send it along to AA with the graphics post, and that's kosher? Certainly willing to do that, but I'm unclear if that's considered okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I would let Schmutzpuppe (the creator) or an AA person answer but I think he released the ROM for us to enjoy. I would try it out first in an emulator to see if you really like it. (the .A78 file is for an emulator and the .BIN file is for CC2 or H2). And as always, and I think this is just me but with remakes of old video games, I rather play the original in MAME on my computer. (True I did create an arcade panel that makes it more fun.)

Trebor Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The best version of Froggie I found to be in this post: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/69060-frogger-first-playable-demo/page__st__250?do=findComment&comment=1206746 It contains both bin and a78 files. No sound lag and plays perfectly under MESS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 You would have to get permission from the author for sure. And if you want the best experience, you will probably need to provide a pokey cart , unless you are getting an xm if they ever get released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Froggie isn't abandoned just suspended (for quite a while now I have to admit). It's just lack of time that holds me back from finishing it. Actually the game is quite finished, the latest (not released) version has HSC support and additional sfx which was important to me. I started to add a second game mode with different car/log pattern but maybe I should just drop that when I resume to work on it to speed up the final release. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmervine Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Glad to hear that you still plan to finish this up...would be great to have this on a cart for the 7800! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynz Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Schmutzpuppe, what would be involved in finishing it up? And is there any possible way I could get you to prioritize it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do my daytime job and take care of my kids Well, thanks for the offer but I guess there isn't much you can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Dear oh dear, looking on the source code after years is like looking on someone elses code. Moreover I realized that there is still a problem with the high score card on a real PAL device, damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynz Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well, I'm a stay at home dad these days, so watching the kids -is- in my line... but that dairly commute from Germany would be a bitch. As for the wife, tell her that you'll get some monies once the cart is done. A little spousal bribery is always in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Ok, thanks for your patience folks, finally here is the finished game. My very special thanks goes to gambler172 and Trebor for intensive testing and great feedback. Happy Cuttle Cart owner should use banking file 78HSCPOK and startup file HSC so that means the game supports HSC (even on PAL). The two a78 files in the archive are basically the same except the different region settings in the a78 header. The game itself is multiregion. When using Prosystem emulator the Pokey music is a bit noisy by using PAL and it’s totally broken when using TIA music but it runs fine on the real device. With switch P1 you can select the difficulty (number of lives) but only once per startup/’boot’. You have different highscore tables for the two modes but only with HSC there is no table without. The game should autodetect XM/XBOARD (untested). I hope you will enjoy the game, have fun. froggie_final.zip 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
