GroovyBee Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 This has been sat on my hard drive for a while but this year I decided to finish it off :- xmas12.a78 xmas12.bin CC2 users will need the following information :- 78POKEY 78BIOS Many thanks to nonner242 for the graphics, PG for the music and sh3-rg for testing. The music is PG's version of this MOD. The single binary works on both NTSC and PAL machines. Its fine on ProSystem 1.3e but the latest version (0.147) of MESS has a visual glitch. I haven't tried it on any other emulators so YMMV. Merry Christmas! EDIT: Now that most people have seen it I'll add a screenshot and a brief description. There are six regions of parallax scrolling. The three at the bottom of the screen overlap and are drawn in two different colour depths as well. MARIA is very nearly maxed out in some of those bottom zones. The RMT music and graphics take just over 24K of ROM space. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Of course it works on on the real 7800. Thanks Groovy. Love it. Scrolling is fantastic. Allan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Way late to the party, I re-organized my 7800 donors (well, all donors really) and found a couple of Ballblazer carts, one of them is now this demo and it rocks!

8th lutz Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Way late to the party, I re-organized my 7800 donors (well, all donors really) and found a couple of Ballblazer carts, one of them is now this demo and it rocks! Where is Groovybee, anyway? He's been on the Intellivsion message board on this site. His last post on the Atari 7800 board was in late April and left the Atari 7800 scene at this time.

CPUWIZ Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Left for the INTV. Bummer, I wonder if my new boards could change his mind. I bet the whole XM thing is what got him pissed off, so many trolls, not everyone has a thick skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) And we're happy about it. Bob is doing a great job taking care of 7800 homebrews. Why would any of us be happy about such a talent leaving Atariland for George Plimptonland? Come back, Groovy! Besides, I thought he had left 7800ville to convert Star Raiders for the Atari ST over to the Jaguar... And can we have some vids posted to YouTube of this? Thanks.
