PlayingTheAngel Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I don't know how many of you have 1mb Ultimate and VBXE installed into your XL/XE computers but I had one of my 130XE's modified recently. I have to say that I was quite excited It's been fun and it's certainly re-energised my enthusiasm for the 8 Bit Atari computer. Recently I've been using the following Utilities and Menu Makers that I've had on disk for years: Alpha Menu Maker Ian K Menu Maker Rob C Musical Menu Maker MultiBoot When it came to putting 'Bounty Bob Strikes Back' onto a menu, it read from high speed menu (Ian K) to normal 1050 speed menu (Rob C) without issues. When the data loaded and the game begins I cannot control anything with the joystick and he will only jump which is rather bizarre. I unplugged my modified 130XE and plugged my stock 65XE into my 1050 and the game wouldn't even load or work at all and then I tried my stock 130XE and the game worked fine. How can it be that it won't work at all on my modded 130XE with all the extra ram onboard? I tried all different settings on the BIOS and still it wouldn't work I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

phaeron Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ultimate1MB takes over some memory locations in the computer that are normally used by the chip that's connected to the joysticks (PIA). Software that uses the official methods of reading the joystick are OK, but Bounty Bob uses one of these unusual locations to read the joystick ($D3F0), and so it doesn't work with U1MB installed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Both Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I also own an ultimate, that's why i ask for a better understanding. The problem still exist, when you switch off (set everything to STOCK) in ultimate menu? Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayingTheAngel Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 I've changed all BIOS settings before Stefan and switched everything to stock and still doesn't work. Thanks for the explanation Phaeron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FULS Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Ok... Now with correct sound, i think... This Game is tricky... Thank You very much!!! Haven't tried all the levels yet, but I did notice this version fixed the SYSTEM RESET bug on screen #2. This looks like it might be the best file version of BBSB I've seen.

bandit Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 This also works on the Incognito Board which the Cartridge DID not and the many different Files of bounty bob Also Had the basic issue, NO JOYSTICK always ran to the left of the screen. So, this file now works !! Thanks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this file now works !! Thanks!! Exactly! That's where I was having a problem now that I have an Incognito, and BBSB didn't work at all! Hooray for nobody! (Hmm, that sounds odd....)
