The discussion about High Score Cart game values in the 'Space Invaders 7800' thread prompted this thread. I thought we could have one place where we could put all of the High Score Cart game values. I'll post what I have:

Original Releases:

  • Asteroids - $49,$6C
  • Desert Falcon proto - $00,$00
  • Dig Dug - $41,$42
  • Centipede - $01,$01
  • Food Fight - $23,$23
  • Galaga - $86,$26
  • Joust - $8B,$23
  • Ms. Pac Man - $80,$01
  • Robotron 2084 - $20,$84
  • Xevious - $8A,$0F
     

My Hacks / Homebrews:

  • Armor Attack II - $0A,$03
  • Asteroids Deluxe - $49,$6D (Hidden Asteroids codes are $49,$6E)
  • Astro Blaster - $0A,$04
  • Astro Fighter - $0A,$09

Yes, in the arcades - made by Cinematronics in 1980.  It was a vector-based game.

In addition to the arcade, it was also ported to the awesome Vectrex!

Hey @PacManPlus, a few questions...

1. is there a register that you can read to detect HSC?

2. Just clarifying, HSC works like normal RAM right? Or does it not?

3. Could you save $CD, $03 for ICT3? Thanks. (Because in this world, no-one seems to know what an acronym is, ICT3 = It's Conner time 3)

4. If you have a 7800 but want to play 2600 games, can you read/write to the HSC in 2600 mode? (No right?)

Edited by Ecernosoft

1. I believe I posted the code somewhere to detect the HSC, but here it is:

;  THIS ROUTINE CHECKS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF THE HIGH SCORE CART
HSCEXIST
	LDX     #$00                   ;INITIALIZE TO ZERO
	LDA     $3900                  ;SEE IF HI SCORE CART IS THERE
	CMP     #$C6
	BNE     HSCEXIT
	LDA     $3904
	CMP     #$FE
	BNE     HSCEXIT
	INX
HSCEXIT
	STX     HSCHERE
	RTS

2. It does not; it needs to be accessed only by the HSC routines, to avoid corruption of the HSC.

3. First post has been updated.

4. No, you cannot.

 

I hope this helps,

Bob

I have reserved $19,$79 in the first post, but $19,$80 is used by Space Invaders... 

OK. Let me rethink. I was going to add high scores to a simple game, but it puts it over 48K. I might just need the one. Thanks.
