But that's alright, as it's the emulator's job to mirror real hardware. Never mind. FJC said it worked in PAL mode. And so it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle22 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Any chance of a PBI connected VBXE? What if there were also 800 RAM card slot signals? Maybe a ribbon to the CPU card? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 pbi is out of question right now - there are some antic specific signal needed for proper operation 800 installation is on my todo list for some time now - i'll get this done next month 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Alright! I finally have VBXE installed in a machine so I can play on the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I need to fix one of my dead XL's or XE's so I can kill it again fitting a VBXE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I think with this game, and others for VBXE or VBXE enhanced, there is finally enough uses for me to start seriously thinking about getting one. I'm still getting a Rapidus first though. Maybe for Christmas, and hopefully my Incognito will arrive by then too.? Though I didn't realize a version has been out since 2012, but then there weren't enough other softs to run back then either...

I've been kicking myself in the ass ever since for not doing this a decade earlier. With SDX and the Last Word, it's an absolute game changer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not clear to me. You mention VBXE, Rapidus and Incognito in the same post. No worries, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) all of the development is done with altirra, so it will work on real hardware there are some compatibility issues with FJC loader and PBI? code don't know for sure, but i had to disable most of my u1mb config to get it going bugs are lurking everywhere i gues some initial work on title screen, sound fx and gtia mode play in the end this game should run on vbxe equipped machine as well as on stock one - with some limitations (due to memory considerations) hl.xex Edited October 7, 2019 by candle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what problems am I supposed to be seeing here? Using the current release versions of my firmware, everything appears to run perfectly well from the loader regardless of whether the PBI BIOS is enabled or not. Just tested on my U1MB/VBXE/Stereo 800XL. Perhaps I missed something, or maybe you can download a version of the firmware dating from some time within the past twenty-four months and try again? Otherwise this kind of thing becomes a little tiresome. Edited October 8, 2019 by flashjazzcat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it on my A8 with 576k RAM, but without VBXE and got "VBXE not found!" after one second of loading and it refused to load any further... But I guess, I simply mis-understand or mis-interpret what you're trying to say... Maybe it was meant like... this VBXE-version of HL (by Candle) works as well on A8+VBXE as the non-VBXE version of HL (by J.Pelc) does on the A8 without VBXE...?!? Besides, your HL version looks and plays very good! We played it together (me + two other Atarians) at a small A8 meeting here in Germany (named HATZ) and reached approx. level 12 and had a lot of fun with it. The levels are very well made and could be solved after several tries (whereas we failed in the J.Pelc A8 version of HL at level 2 or 3 and gave up)...
