+batari Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Merry Xmas! It will play on an emulator, or real hardware with a Kroko cart or Cuttle cart. This game doesn't use standard F8 bankswitching. Use "UA" as the bankswitching type. In z26, use -g12, and in Stella, press TAB, then select Game Properties, then "UA" under "Type." For those try-before-you-buy folks, hopefully this will encourage you to buy this game! As to why UA was chosen, it shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying my game and should discourage those who are feelin' a little too randy about others' intellectual property gingerUA.bin 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) Nice copy protection: use an oddball bankswitch scheme! Edited December 19, 2007 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Awesome, thanks for doing this. I bought a copy but it'll be nice to have it on the ol' CC2 which pretty much stays plugged in 24/7 these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Player Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Can someone explain the best way to throw the pie pans on the first screen? Or dashes, if they aren't pie pans. Any other instructions that would help me decide to purchase this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I can't get the bin to work on Stella. Is the file corrupted? Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stephena Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I can't get the bin to work on Stella. Is the file corrupted? Wp You need to force 'UA' bankswitching as described in the first post. Hopefully, the next version of Stella will correctly auto-detect this ROM as UA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Man Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Merry Xmas! It will play on an emulator, or real hardware with a Kroko cart or Cuttle cart. Use "UA" as the bankswitching type. Did you mean the CC2? I was making a CD for use with the CC1 and it doesn't recognize UA as a valid bankswitching type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wp Just an update on this; the latest version of Stella (2.8.4) autodetects the UA bankswitch format, so you don't have to manually specify it. There's still no info in the internal database for it, though. That will be in the next release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD69 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Any chance of a rom that will work with 2600+ on a Harmony cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've included the original and the conversion for the Sega gamepad (I have no idea if that works on the 2600+ though.) Oh, and for anyone else following this, it's about time to mention the easter egg in the game, as nobody seems to have found it. A hint for those not waiting the spoiler: look in the upper left corner of the screen when ducking. Spoiler In the upper left corner of the screen, a tiny, almost translucent dot will appear on the screen while ducking. You can stand on the dot as if it were a platform (you must remain ducking, or you will fall.) From here, jump up. There is also another egg within the egg screen, but I'll leave that a secret for now.

I waited until the time ran out and then let myself be touched by the fly. I was quite excited because it opened up a route to the other side of the screen and I was hoping to drop down into a new screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, Spoiler Dropping down brings you to the next phase of the game (which is normally only accessible by defeating the boss.) Each phase has 4 regular levels and a boss level. There are 4 phases, with the final boss being the last screen on phase 4 (and this screen has unique features.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
