Jaynz Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 What do you want to see a video of exactly? I'm guessing a video of the XM's show presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Brigade Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing a video of the XM's show presentation. Or gameplay of any of Grooveybee's forthcoming XM games that only people in Yugoslavia got to see. In the age of Youtube and internet video streaming, still screenshots of video games are useless to me.

sh3-rg Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm guessing a video of the XM's show presentation. Hmm, European shows just aren't that formal - you attend, you wander around, sit down if something interests you, chat to the guy with the interesting new game/hardware/obscure console/whatever and then when you've done you move along and see whats happening on the next table. :-) I'm pretty sure there weren't any formal presentations at either of the two shows I attended where the XM was present, although GB did demonstrate his 24hour XM game to the judges at AC2012, I tried to video that but the crowds around were too obstructing. I also took some sneaky video of him demonstrating some of his games about a year ago at eJagfest, but since I shouldn't have been doing that I didn't go posting on youtube, I'll have to save those for the future just as curios. The videos I took at AC2012 and posted only show GB beavering away on his super-compact dev setup with the XM sat next to him displaying the title picture of something he was working on (I imagine at least). Or gameplay of any of Grooveybee's forthcoming XM games that only people in Yugoslavia got to see. Well I missed that show, probably because that country ceased to exist about 10 years ago I was there in France and in Germany (two fairly well known countries I believe) but missed the show in my home country due to having to work Far as I can tell, well over 5,000 people have had the opportunity to see the XM first-hand, including dozens of members of this or similar forums. In the age of Youtube and internet video streaming, still screenshots of video games are useless to me. Oh, so it's the actual games and not the hardware you want to see running? That's totally GB's call, some people like to show WIP stuff of their games from the earliest stages, others prefer not to do this, I'm not exactly sure where GB stands on this but that's his call. I can totally see the benefit of not showing anything until it's 99% - from personal experience, you often end up being bombarded with the most retarded "you should do this" "make this faster" "make this colour different" kind of "feedback" that isn't really what you want to hear unless you're developing something openly or as part of a community effort. For instance, I know he posted shots of his ST Star Raiders on Jaguar recently, but that's a complete game, it's designed and done and nobody can blabber on about what he or she thinks you're doing wrong... having said that... that seems to be exactly what did happen regarding the use of the Jaguar keypad buttons I'm sure if GB wanted to show off all his games he'd have put videos up months ago, it seems like he's happy to keep quietly working away on them until they are fit for public consumption 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 In the age of Youtube and internet video streaming, still screenshots of video games are useless to me. This is the reason why people who make the effort to go to shows and events get to see much more of what I'm working on and what the XM can do. You really can't beat seeing the kid in the candy store look on peoples faces when they start playing the XM games and seeing tech demos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Can't wait to see the update! It is looking beast as my kids would say. It took me a while to realize that was a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm actually sending a development unit to you end of next week, PM was sent... I'm confident that Curt is putting his full effort into getting this finished and won't be years away. Regarding TIA, I won't put that back in since it would be a major step back in quality. You would be better off playing some music in the background. I do expect to ship before the end of December, even if the XM has not shipped. I'm pretty confident that the sound can be verified by the XM developers with minimum risk so I don't need one in hand. I'm putting together a prototype cart this weekend so I will be able to test everything but the sound on my console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Actually you're wrong, its been shown at CGE and Midwest Gaming Classic. How about taking this argument out of my thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 So the fact that we are all working on it, continuing to improve it, that all of the plastics were made, all of the custom aluminum labels made, manuals, stacks of cardboard for the boxes, videos of the unit playing XM enhanced games... why would'nt it be delivered, I don't want all this shit sitting in my workshop any longer than it needs to be, your "suspicision" makes me very suspicious.... of you. No one, Groovy, says that the XM doesn't exist at all - just a growing suspicion, nearing a certainty for many of us, that it'll never be delivered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Perry is doing perfectly fine and he'll be testing on real hardware end of next week... Perry, Please keep on track and have this game released as an XM game. The XM will be released - groovybee posted a long response/update to what is going on. Yes, Curt did finish his Atari Vol1 book, but now his #1 priority is to get the XM out. We just need to be patient. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Well, I'm not going to divert anymore from Perry's topic, enough questions have been answered, go to the XM Status update page for updates, stop pestering Perry... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nov 13th - Okay, just spoke with Mark on a bunch of things, last 2 1/2 weeks were completely lost due to Hurricane Sandy and then the Nor'easter that hit. Office power was down for a while, some minor damage to the roof and looks like I've got 2 leaks coming into the workshop downstairs, but fortunately its on the opposite side of the shop so all of the boxes of XM cases, cartridge parts and other things never were in trouble. The Legacyengineer.com server is down however, so I am working to try and get things fixed with that. So I'm trying to get things back on track again and need some comments back from Mark this coming weekend, so I'll get another update up early next week. Update. Thanks Curt! Sorry to hear about the leaks! Anytime homeowner stuff happens it can be a royal pain! Congrats on the launch of the book and now back to your regularly scheduled thread already in progress. Please let us know how DK runs on real hardware! Very exciting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 This game is gonna be awesome!! So in December when DKXM ships would the cart work on a standard 7800 without xm just not have any sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Ok here's a question. If Beef Drop VE is coded to work with audio on both a stock 7800 and with the XM with pokey sound, is it possible to do that with this version of DK? I'm not understanding why Beef Drop seems to be the only game to date that has dual audio code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not understanding why Beef Drop seems to be the only game to date that has dual audio code. beefdrop is 32kb+pokey scheme, same as frogger or ballblazer for that matter. this game could very well support pokey audio on standard 7800, but requiring expensive doners, or the will to do a CC2 bin anyway just the author wants it to be XM only, even though there's no XM yet -aside GroovyBee's- - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, why can't more games be coded to have standard 7800 audio on a stock console, and then switch to pokey sound with the XM, exactly like Beefdrop VE?

fernando marrin Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 you're limited to the sizes of carts released at the time for doners and it's current prices (at 32k relatively cheap carts can be canibalized) or schemes in the case of cc2 This version of DK is 144k at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Well Perry has a xm coming his way so GB is not the only one that will have one. I have one coming my way along with 250 others. Hopefully sooner than later.. but I wont get into that I have said enough already.. Edited November 21, 2012 by Jinks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
