globeron Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 @Tursi / @mizapf (and any others). Do you know if it is possible to make a .bin for the @compucar program to load on the FinalGrom ? (I have looked into ModuleCreater 2.0, but not sure how that works with DIS/FIX 80 files). (EA option 3 DSK1.@COMPU-CAR, then enter and COMPO to load it) CAR.dsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Difficult to make a screenshot of the high-score as once games completes it goes directly to the main screen and high-score is not displayed anymore. 9905 score 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just played around with it (without knowing what I am doing), but managed to get this far: compu5_8.BIN (prompt Compucar, titlescreen compucar and it returns to the TI titlescreen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) @arcadeshopper Except the sprite issue during startup (which get solved automatically after the programs goes to the next round) I managed to get it working, so I guess it is to find the right PC (program counter) as start address compu7_8.BIN Edited October 29, 2021 by globeron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwild Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 6395 on Computer-CarI notice that the first time playing the cars are not “complete”. They seem to look normal on the second try. Thank you for making the .bin!I also tried the “black” car wars on real iron with final grom. Got a blank blue screen probably due to start PC mismatch.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The basic information you collected is correct, of course. Not completely sure why it doesn't just run cleanly - sometimes software has pre-existing expectations. You need to make those expectations real. But I'd say you're in good shape! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 58,650. Level 7. (It seems that after level 6 it is the same start position, see picture). Performance of changing lanes is slower with 4 cars/sprites. Trick is to get the cars in top of each other. And a video of the 1st levels (32,060) and of the last levels. 20211031_203406.mp4 20211031_205546.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 There is another hint to get a higher score, if you have 4 black cars in the middle, then try to clear the level as much as possible (then crash), and complete the next level, because the max. number of spare cars is 4. Not sure if we can reach these scores today. Mar 1983 Nov 1983 Car Wars (13th level) 97,380 121,000 Ed McNair (Brandon, FL) Ron L.

I tried to go step by step to find the initialisation part, but not sure yet how to do that via F1 pause, F2, F3 options. To get the sprite issue to work. The game works with joystick, but you can only change 2 lanes without pressing the button (used for higher speed). Score 12,500. Sometimes the opponent cars change the dots in x crosses, (and back to dots) not sure what the idea is behind this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 First two rounds (YMMV, literally). Both rounds are driven with full speed (hold joystick button) through the whole round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
