baktra Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Correction.... I should say the timing is closer, It sometimes load sometimes doesn't with the latest tape image... but that's way better than the never load one we started with! Hello again, I have tested the unmodified tape images with real hardware (unmodified XC-12, Atari 130XE, and Turgen System). Both editions of the game loaded always perfectly (tried three times both tape images). I would suspect your SIO2PCUSB and/or APE in this case.

Aking Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This little Atari programming adventure is over (boo-hoo...). I have updated and stablized the game home page. It is simpler and has a color scheme that is in line with the (gloomy) look and feel of the game. As a very small bonus, there are more binaries available to be downloaded directly (original segmented binaries, monolithic packed binaries, tape images, bootable disks, and cartridge images for the Atari 5200). A nasty cheat for the original (non-U.M.C) editions of the game: Hold SELECT (Atari 800XL), or ASTERISK (Atari 5200) until the main menu appears. You will get free access to all caves. This cheat also works with the prequel game. It is said that the cheaters always prosper, but....there are no cheats for the U.M.C editions. please consider taking the remaining miner levels to the 5200 ...

baktra Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 please consider taking the remaining miner levels to the 5200 ... I believe that all levels I have ever made are available for 5200 Caverns of the Lost Miner (released in 2007 for XL/XEs - original set of 13 levels) has been ported to 5200 in 2015. Curse of the Lost Miner (released in 2015 - new set of levels) has been ported to 5200. Curse of the Lost Miner U.M.C (remix of all previously released levels + 1 extra level = total of 27) is also available for 5200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baktra Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 A video that shows how to solve the last "FLOP" cave. I was playing the game after several months and lost 5 lives before solving the cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
