NE146 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Excuse me if this has been talked about in the past. But is the Double Dragon ROM here at Atariage the PAL version? http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...wareLabelID=152 The reason is I can't seem to play it on the Cuttlecart. It loads but the picture rolls just like it was PAL. Am I just loading it wrong? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 The ROM available here is indeed PAL. You can tell by the colors, such as the weird purple skin. The NTSC version has natural colored skin, and Billy and Jimmy Lee's suits are blue and red, like the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 hmmm... If that's the case then I've got like 3 or 4 Double Dragon roms from various sources and they're all PAL! So does anyone know where the NTSC version is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 to my knowledge it ain't dumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Just get PCAE, push F3, and it will be in NTSC colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 Just get PCAE, push F3, and it will be in NTSC colors. Where's F3 on a Cuttle Cart? And how do you get PCAE on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I don't have a Cuttle Cart, so I can't help you at all there. I don't know why the NTSC version hasn't been dumped yet, most likely because the PAL release is much more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf_4ever Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 As A cuttle cart user (i hate playing on the puter) I really hope some one eaither dumps.. or converts Double Dragon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 Albert said in another thread (http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10365) that he didn't know the Double Dragon dump they had was PAL. He is going to get the NTSC version out as soon as possible... right AL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Don't expect me to convert this from PAL to NTSC, only because everybody is just to lazy to dump it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Just wondering, but for a game everyone (but me) hates, why so much interest ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Just wondering, but for a game everyone (but me) hates, why so much interest? I don't know about everyone else, but I bought my original Atari 2600 (jnr) because it offered a Double Dragon conversion. Finding out that it was total crap sort of stayed with me. There's so much stuff I had as a kid that I wish I'd kept, but selling my old toys funded new ones (and quite frankly it's taken 15 years for the prices to climb back up to what I would have sold them for all those years ago). If anyone wants a boxed HES (PAL) Double Dragon, I've got one to sell. How much are they worth anyway? Picked up the box first, then found a cart. Can't remember if I've got the manual or not.

King Atari Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Maybe that was the wrong way of putting it. I should have stated that they hated the controls & enemy difficulty. Have you gotten the hang of the controls, NE146? (And not to be sick or anything, but what happened to your animated avatar? You get razzed for it ?)

It's broken out every Friday as an end of the week "celebration" ...or of course when I feel like it. Yeah it got razzed but come on, when has that mattered?

King Atari Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Ah, I thought you had been playing it on an emulator or something and wanted it for the Cuttle Cart. End of the week celebration? Quite a way to start the weekend ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf_4ever Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I have played the Emu.. but I hate emulators.. I want to play it on the CC.. So I am just replying again so it goes back to the top. lol... maybe someone will take pity on the poor atariage.com for not haveing an ntsc .bin... and dump it for them.. ya know?.. just to give back to the community is all... that is my concern....

Albert Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Okay, I have dumped the NTSC version of Double Dragon. You can grab it here. I didn't play it very long, but it seems to work correctly. And the colors are definitely different from the PAL version. Enjoy! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 30, 2002 Author Share Posted June 30, 2002 woohoo! Thanks Al!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 That be it! Notice how the music runs much slower in the NTSC dump, while it plays faster in the PAL version. Okay, I think everyone owes King Atari a big "Thank You". What? I didn't actually do anything? Well son of a (censored)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
