Enough talking, get codeing

I don't know what you are talking about.

 

I have no interest in doing a version of Pong though. Pong??

 

Jum Pong it's called

 

I know, but you can fix it though your probably right nobodys interested in a pong game.

I'm pretty sure there is a fixed version of this around, I've played it on a real 5200 at one point.

Is anybody working on a 5200 homebrew? I am reading lots of wish lists, some ideas, but I'm not aware of anybody currently working on anything for the big system. Speak up if you know something.

I did start working on my game - but since I'm starting from ground zero and have many other demands on my time I don't make any predictions on a completion date. I do, however, have my main character zipping across the screen and a couple of debug routines working. It's been ages since I've touched 6502 assembly (and even then I never did much with it), so it's taking me a long time to do simple stuff. Plus I've never worked on the A8 before, so I have to learn its graphics features as I go.

 

The game is a fantasy-themed combination of Robotron, Zelda and Berzerk... at least on paper. We'll see what it ends up *actually* being. Pretty standard classic arcade fare, but that's the kind of stuff I like, and it seemed pretty "doable" as a first project on this system. I'll post more stuff or put up a web site once it's further along, there's nothing to really show right now.

Sounds good! But I'd have thought you'd be doing an R-Type clone for some reason.

Jum Pong v2 should work. There is a thread along with a control hack here

The Pong_Patch didn't work on the A52 Maxicart. I also try Battlezone and Gyruss on it as well. Seem to lock up.
