+remowilliams Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The game comes up, but no frog to control? Am I missing something? Seems to require joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Seems to require joystick. Do you have it set to require joystick two port? Is it working for you? Mine is hard set for port one. I suppose I can try again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, you know what - it is port 2. I did't notice at first plugging in the Wico box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 oh, sorry for the lorry but "saugen" (sucks) is more like "vacuum" or "hoover" here I would say my english hobbles if you translate "ceiling" to german you´ll get "Decke", and if you re-translate "Decke" you´ll get "blanket". So if you´re in a hotel, and it´s cold, give the reception a call and tell them "there is no ceiling in my room" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 It is my first conversion of this game coded by a my italian friend and compiled by Matthew Splett with added Joystick Support it seems to work but i think it need +32K expansion, it is normal ? the original game was in XB. Yes, it does need the 32k expansion. The technique using classic 99 to create the cart image creates a cartridge that when run just loads the memory back up into expansion ram, and then executes from there. I had given this one a shot earlier, but forgot to share it! You know, this indicates another good reason to use the extended basic compiler, and put new life into those old basic programs -M@ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Matt, the Parsec conversion works perfectly... as long as I use the TI keyboard or joystick. When I use the PS/2 keyboard, "I gets blowed up!" How does you USB adapter work? I tested parsec, end to end just now. And with the usb keyboard it works just as well as with the TI keyboard. You can't move when you are firing. -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 So, I took a look at the good disk version of TOD I like having a good disk version of TOD... However, it's good for a reason. It uses the full 32k for itself. That doesn't leave any room for the cartridge loader code. Which needs about 300 bytes. So I have re-attached the TOD8.bin to my prior post, as indexed by Omega in post #1. -M@ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I use the PS/2 keyboard is still works with the E & X keys... however when I use the arrow keys, that is when I have movement issues while firing.

Here's (I hope) Adventure, and Alpiner adventure.BIN ALPINER.BIN I've never used ADVENTURE before, I have no clue, but I'll test it and check it out. I'll also test Alpiner. Give me a couple of minutes though, I gotta go get some coffee first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Okay so it's not just me who thought that when I looked at it. Yay! Here's (I hope) Adventure, and Alpiner adventure.BIN Both of them seem to work fine. I obviously do not have a file to load for ADVENTURE, so I could not proceed any further. ALPINER works and plays well. There are a couple of 'chirps' now and then, but that's no problem at all. I'll index these into the first message. Excellent work!

+remowilliams Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Did Remo remove Alpiner from message #87? I did. I think there's something wrong with the female speech, though I can't quite tell because the speech in classic99 is really messed up for me. I'll need to try the original EA conversion from disk on real iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, my interface is very different, it is just pretending to be the same thing Don't forget about Tursi's scroll-lock option that turns the arrows keys from Fctn-E/S/X/D to just E/S/X/D. I've never been able to move and fire in parsec with the keyboard. Even on my console before I did anything too it. In fact, last July the first articles I received was a plain silver console, and parsec cartridge. And then I had to get some joysticks, cause that's how it was... hmm. I wonder what I do differently. -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Try Scroll Lock on the PS/2 Keyboard, as was suggested. Also, when you are playing Parsec with the keyboard, you're supposed to use period to fire, not Q. Should work that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 One program that would be nice is a simple E/A5 loader that the end user could easily use a sector editor on. Why? To use the cartridge to load disk programs, like the 9640 Menu System for instance or some other single use program from diskette. The user would simply change the name of the program to install on the SD card, and sector edit in the programs name like: DSKn.XXXXXXX or HDX1.XXXXXXXX.

+jedimatt42 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Here is Fred Kaal's Dsk2Pc v1.2 DSK2PCV12-8.BIN This would probably be a good test for stressing the disk gremlins. -M@ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
