Stefan Both Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I absolutely love that game. If it's time to go to bed, I prefer to play it for a couple of minutes. (well, sometimes half'n hour). Is there ANY way to save the progress, so I didnt have to start from the beginning again'n again? A build in function, a freezer or someting else? My system is a 800XL, Ultimate1Mb, Sio2Sd, MyIDE2. Maybe flashing a special OS into U1Mb or something like that? Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Both Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 I believe Esc on the keyboard pauses... !I see, thanks for the hint. I'll try it this evening.But... That helps when the phone is ringing. It's not much helpfull to preserve the score overnight. Is there an alternativ OS out there, I could flash into ultimate, saving ram on disk or something else?

Rybags Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The easiest way would probably be to modify the game and allow save/load from a "docked" situation. Before that could be done, would need to know which areas of memory need to be written out. Then allow load/save by way of raw read/write to a floppy or disk image. I don't think there's much at all in the way of reverse-engineered info on this game, so it'd be something to do from scratch. Emulator tools would make it all possible though.

xxl Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 autosave and autoload data (score/progress) will be nice feature... I made it some time ago this way: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMontezuma Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 You can also upload the QMEG OS to the Ultimate 1MB. It has a nice memory DUMP function. You can store (and restore) the memory content to/from the disk (for example SIO2SD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(to be honest, Jon did it) Time to have a look at the Qmeg manual!!! Thanks a lot. Stefan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
