Atari5200 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) I suppose the majority of us will have to fire up our emulators for this one as we compete at one of the rarest games for the 5200. Rules are as follows. default difficulty, any controller is fine, emulation is fine(obviously). no cheat codes, i think i remember someone saying there was a code or something to skip levels and therefore gain higher score right off the bat. Anyways have fun. Competition will end 8-25-2007 Final update: lintwarp: 70870 eegt97: 34740 doctorclu: 31560 JetSet: 25530 ymike673: 16650 BydoEmpire:11390 Edited August 27, 2007 by Atari5200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian R. Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I won't be in this one. Don't have the cart, and I can't get a 5200 emulator working - I've tried several, with no luck. I got emus for the 2600 and 7800, but can't figure this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari5200 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 do you have the system file? 5200.bin or 5200.rom whatever it's named? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari5200 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 i know i can't get anything work on my pocket PC emulator and the emulator on my GP32 is pretty hit or miss for 5200, but i can get some games to work, i've never tried 5200 emu for PC, so can't really help you trouble shoot any more than seeing if you had the system files.

+Cafeman Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I've never played Bounty Bob. I'm not sure Atari800win supports its 40K ROM image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) 12,480 here. First attempt and first time to get past the first level. Yeh it's hard. For you Dreamcast gamers out there, the way to select 2 to teleport is to push the thumb joystick up. Took me a while to figure that out. (and if I had just watched the intro/demo I would have figured out how to play the first level.) Edited August 15, 2007 by doctorclu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ymike673 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I've been busy this week but I am going to play on Sunday. Since I do have the actual 5200 cartridge of BBSB I should give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to say I helped him get AN emulator for the Dreamcast working. So hopefully you'll see a score from both him and myself on this.

doctorclu Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Hey Mac users!!! I've tinkered with the 5200 emulation on the Mac and I managed to get it running First I downloaded from here: http://www.atarimac.com/downloads.php#atari800macx I used the 5200 rom image I used on the Dreamcast Atari800, and here's the most important thing I think... I had to rename the 5200 to "a5200.rom" and make sure the preferences saw the rom, and naturally I had to select the 5200 system in the Atari800MacX toolbar. After that, insert the Bounty Bob Strikes Back image that you can get at Atariage, start her up, and the rest works. You have full screen support so I guess after that you have at least the options to play with a keyboard, maybe with a USB joystick. Didn't actually play the game on the Mac myself. So you Mac users give this a try and jump into this game! Edited August 19, 2007 by doctorclu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) So you Mac users give this a try and jump into this game!Very cool, thanks! It worked like a charm. Man, this game *is* tough. At least I have an excuse in playing with a keyboard. ;P 5150 so far... hehe... I really suck - it's been a long time since I played Miner 2049'er, never played BBSB.

ymike673 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) My high so far is 16,650. Can't get past level 2. Edited August 20, 2007 by ymike673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 So you Mac users give this a try and jump into this game! You don't have to rename the 5200 system ROM, you could always browse to it in preferences/ROM. Aside from that, yeah Atari800MacX works just fine with BBSB. Of course if I wanted to punish myself with this game, I could just stick it in the 5200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Up to level 5, so time to share the wealth... Hints: (If you are playing on a Dreamcast you can teleport by pushing the stick upward, and later, downward.) Level 1: A- Ignore the mutants at the bottom of the screen, grab the "prize" as I'll call it which helps makes the mutants temporarily friendly and immediately teleport. B- EASTER EGG ... I got a screen after the 4th level, it instructed on the first level to go to the flower pot and immediately punch in "1" and then start which takes you to the 4th level. (On the Dreamcast once you get to the flower select the numberical pad screen, select 1, then hit "A" again to jump, and then "B" to start. Just works) What's funny is, even if you go flying through the flower pot and are falling to your death, you can select the keys and still have this work!!)(Not sure if you loose the life, but you still go to Level 4) [use of easter eggs/warps/and cheats is forbidden in this contest, but something fun to try when you need to take a break from regular gameplay. And I found these too... http://www.purecheats.com/index.php/cheats...0Strikes%20Back ] Level 2: A- To activate the lift, jump on it, which activates it. You cannot (at least on the DC) get it to operate again until you jump off and then back on it. B-I found it best to leave the platforms in the upper right hand corner till the very last. Level 3: A- The initial vacuum is a three position vacuum. You go to the "1" and hit it. You can change between suck left, suck right, and neutral/off. (Indicated by arrows and dashes.) Level 4: This is easiest level of them all so far. The upper platform moves really quick and I've only timed a moving jump on it once or twice. But if you can get to the edge to the side platform where your feet are sticking out just a LITTLE bit without falling off, when the moving platform swings by it will take Bob will it! So have fun, and if you find any tricks, please, share the wealth... at least after the contest is over. I just like to share hints while contests are going on to make it more fun and get more people involved. BTW... I thought Atari800MacX had USB joystick support. No?

BydoEmpire Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 BTW... I thought Atari800MacX had USB joystick support. No?There are quite a few joystick options, and I believe it does. I don't have a usb joystick, though. And thanks for your hints - I haven't had *too* much time to play it, but hopefully I can squeeze in a bit more before the end of the competition.

BydoEmpire Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 11390. What can I say, I suck, but the game is still pretty darn fun. And I finally made it to the 2nd level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
