+Trebor Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Bug discovered.... First things first though . How I discovered the bug: I was taking some captures... As good as it gets outside of the "real thing": In a 2 player game, if Player 1 dies first and still has lives left, but Player 2 dies after and has no lives left, the game just continues with no players on the field. The level should reset with the 'Game Over' for Player 2, and Player 1 is back in action. Notice the sixth capture above and the aforementioned scenario played out with this capture as the end result: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKON Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I believe the morse code states "armoratk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks, guys! Changed the morse code to be something a little more meaningful. Final Version here. Still, can anyone guess what the morse code says? (BTW, it uses 'International Morse Code') ArmorAtk.A78 ARMORATK.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckH Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Great game, Bob. It seems finished. And NO, I haven't figured out the morse code yet but thanks to 8-bit guy I might. It's a nice touch. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks, guys Hmmm.... Maybe I should offer some kind of incentive for figuring out what the Morse Code says... How about a free cart to whoever posts the correct answer first? Please post complete answers here (no PM) so we all know who actually guessed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Something I noticed while playing it tonight . I was using a cx 34 auto fire controller and I couldnt turn the tank to the right . I played another game and reset it and it had the same issue . Turned the game off and tried a cx 24 and it worked fine . So I plugged the cx 34 back in and it worked fine . I was playing the version before this newest one . I havent read through the whole thread through so I dont know if someone has encountered this intermitent problem . Sorry if it has been brought up already . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 This is another strange one; I've play-tested this quite a bit without any issue. (Granted, I didn't use any auto-fire controller, just the standard 7800 one re-wired in a 'Space Invaders' controller. Did anyone else have this happen to them?

Sorry if it has been brought up already . I'd just make sure I had a version of the game that was posted on April 10th or later. I was having an issue where the game would suddenly think I was using a 1 button controller even though I had a two button controller and powering down the 7800 and restarting was the only fix. It got better with that version but it still isn't perfect. I suspect this may be a variation of the same issue since It had something to do with me holding down the thrust button when the game ended or hitting the thrust button a bunch of times in the menu.

PacManPlus Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hi Guys: I'm going to look at the controller routine tonight, but it sucks that I can't get either issue to happen to me KevinMos3 - don't worry, I still have your cart - I won't send it out until I'm sure of what is going on. Does *anyone* else have these issues? Any detail would help to try and recreate them. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Trebor Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Wish I had either a CC2 or the H2 was released to help test this Bob. However, the problem is likely tied to rapid firing/button presses. From HammR25 the problem happened from either holding down the fire button or hitting the button rapidly. The CX34 is a controller that AtariBrian is using which features an autofire feature that could also create the same condition of a person either holding down or pressing a button rapidly.

+Trebor Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 HammR25...Curious if your 7800 compatible controller also experiencing an occasional issue is a modified NES Advantage or some other controller that features a possible "turbo" or "auto-fire" feature/mode. I'm just trying to cover all bases here. The problem may be exclusive to controllers with a auto-fire or 'turbo/rapid' feature/mode. Bob does not have such a controller, so it would be real difficult (impossible) for him to recreate the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I need to get the new update and I will use the stock cx 24 and keep trying and trying to get it to do it again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
