    Just to be clear, you can make a 1-man party of any class, and have companions join you. It's not limited to the Hero.

    Thank you for spreading the word!
  3. adamantyr
    There are eight potential companions, covering all classes except the Hero.

    Generally the smaller the starting party the more the challenge is. My brother as a play tester made a single party of a rogue, which was a definite challenge since he had to buy items for anything like light and healing to start with.

    Yes, there was a bug in 007 and 008, you'll want 1.8.009 or you will have a freeze crash when poisoned.

    I like Donkey Kong so much I'm musing writing a disassembler just to view the source code for it. In particular, I'd like to see why on the elevator level there is the occasional "freak out" VDP crash, right when you're waiting to jump off an elevator. I wonder if there is a code stub for the spring boards (which aren't in game) that is disrupting things.

    I sent it to him to put up for new purchases, it may not have gotten up over the weekend right away. Does he need a link to the latest version, or were you able to provide that to him?

    Ugh... I snuck a fix for that into the latest build, but it won't take unless the game is started over. Fortunately the book in question (which you can't reach out there) isn't plot critical. Here's what it says:

    SAV, SG0, SG1, SG2 and SG3

    Doh! Sounds like another case of my dyslexic bit checking being off. I'll get that fixed along with boat issues in the next build.

    So powering off the PEB box should clear the memory then. I already have a fix for the issue, just making sure unit data is cleared before a battle as well as after. There could be other errant data hanging around but it's definitely an edge case.

    I wondered if SAMS had a battery in it! I may have to adjust my loader to clear certain pages used for dynamic data then
  13. adamantyr
    Definitely some left over data then. It makes me wonder what variable didn't get cleared; I have routines in encounter set up to blank data for this very scenario, clearly I missed something! That one may be a challenge to hunt down, but I'll fix it if I find it. The crash I can't say; lots of things on hardware can cause crashes. I'd say if you do have a crash, your best bet is to power the PE Box down and back on again to make sure the SAMS card is purged of data prior to restarting.

    Hmmm that's very weird. That happened on hardware, or in emulation? A major difference between hardware and the emulator is the emulator always zeroes out data on startup, but that's not necessarily true with hardware. It's possible some variables aren't being cleared before use and some data is creeping in.

    Yeah, my cartridge frequently crashed (garbled video) on the elevator level too, always when I got to a certain place. The Atarisoft version of Donkey Kong is very impressive for a TI game. It actually is a 16K ROM, so it has a page swap for additional data. I've been meaning to try and disassemble the contents at some point...
  16. adamantyr
    You aren't the first! And definitely get them now. Unless there is a huge demand I probably won't sell any more than I currently have materials for.
  17. adamantyr
    Nice! I am packing up collectors editions to mail right now in fact

    You can find notes on how to update your saved game on the version notes page: http://quixotic.adamantyr.com/roa-version-notes.htm In this case, you just replace a couple files in your current game folder and you don't need to do anything else. Or, if you just extract the new version into a new folder, just copy the SAV, SG0, SG1, SG2, and SG3 files over to the Data folder and you can resume play with your current save.

    Did an interview with the Lost Sectors!
  20. adamantyr
    Also successfully reprogrammed one with the latest build! It helps when you realize you need to pull the sticker off the EPROM...
  21. adamantyr
    Carts came and they work... you rock Jim! Sadly I will likely have to erase and reprogram as we will be a few builds ahead...
  22. adamantyr
    Well if you can use a disk manager program and view the file contents on the disk just fine, it may be a SAMS issue indeed. The loader program loads the contents of the PRG file into memory pages swapping them out in the upper 24K block. When finished it sets to the start module and launches. If for some reason your SAMS card failed to do page swaps it would just overwrite the same memory over and over and fail to start.
  23. adamantyr
    How are you getting files onto the tipi, are you using the wifi option? I'm confused why TI99Dir was needed at all. A freeze in Loading suggests its either having issues accessing the PRG file or the SAMS card isn't right. You have a standard 1MB card?

    Also, a review of the game in German! https://cgboard.raysworld.ch/showthread.php?tid=26912

    Are you able to catalog the drive, see the files there? Matthew Splett may be able to assist further. I know the game works with TiPi, it's even the optimal setup for it, so this sounds like more a TiPi configuration issue to solve.
