Early versions of the game featured TIA sound effects. Newer versions and the final version is POKEY sound only. The store will have the final version of the game which utilizes POKEY sound only. The final version of the game is shown in the OP video. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish the Pokey version of Beef Drop was still available. Got in too late I guess, so settled for the TIA VE version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edweird13 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 would be nice if we could get both versions and the one with TIA audio would detect my XM and use the Pokey audio. Oh wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Can't wait to get it. I think this would have been a perfect Hudson soft game. Reminds me of Adventure Island when watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder Boy (Adventure Island) discussions are part of what made Bob curious; PAC-MAN-RED designed the graphics, and Wonder Boy sprites were a springboard.

CPUWIZ Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wow, between Hozer and me, we have sold so many copies with POKEY on board, I am shocked anyone cares anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Wow, between Hozer and me, we have sold so many copies with POKEY on board, I am shocked anyone cares anymore. Wait...Hozer is selling carts of Bently Bear? First I've heard of this as I didn't think there the final or near final rom was really out there? Plus it would be expensive for him to make since Bentley is a 144k game plus Pokey? Is there a board from Atari that was already made for this? I know your versa boards are able to do this right? But... I'm confused? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke, I would never give that board to him or make repros of Bob's game, even though I could make high quality repros of it. LOL I wish I was not as sick as I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 The AA store Pokey games cannot come fast enough. Please while my CC still has available funds on it... Agreed! I'm just hoping that there will still be copies of Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest left come January, since I don't think I'll be able to pick one up until then and I know AtariAge's Pokey chip games tend to have limited production runs. Fingers crossed I suppose! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just wondering, is there a technical reason that so far, only Beef Drop VE is the only cart that is made to detect the XM, and will switch to improved audio when plugged into it? I'm wondering why all the homebrews can't be programmed this way? Edit: I'm fully expecting the answer to be because the XM is a pointless add on given recent improvements else where. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No technical reason. Serpentine 7800 also works with TIA if POKEY isn't detected. I think many homebrewers just don't want to spend their hobby time building two sets of sound effects.

XM is vaporware. Nearly everything the XM offers can be stuffed into a CPUWIZ or AA PCB at a fraction of the cost. Except the High score cart, and all that would need is a sawed off Atari shell with a connector on top, Game Genie style. And do we really need Yamaha sound on an 8-bit system? If a homebrewer came up with a game that utilized it, CPU could probably whip something up to accommodate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Nearly everything the XM offers can be stuffed into a CPUWIZ or AA PCB at a fraction of the cost.Try fitting a SIO connector, a DB15 connector, extra RAM, a POKEY, a YM2151 and all the supporting circuitry in a 7800 cart. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Try fitting a SIO connector, a DB15 connector, extra RAM, a POKEY, a YM2151 and all the supporting circuitry in a 7800 cart. Good luck. In the end, maybe one or two programs will use all of those features. What they will use is the RAM and POKEY, which will probably fit in there just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
