My modded FB2 plays it also, but not the 3-Channel music, just the TIA game sound effects? Is yours playing the 3-channel music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Mine only plays the TIA game sounds too. BTW, I really appreciate the music in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 You are correct. Mine only plays the TIA game sounds too. BTW, I really appreciate the music in this game. Draconian also plays, but is slowed down by the speech, which just is just a buzz. I wonder why the speech/3 channel sound fails, as mine is a FB2+ mod, and the speech in Quadrun does work. Both problems are probably due to the A12 line that is being brought out for the added cartridge connector not changing. The CDF bank-switching format must not use A12 FOR switching banks, so thats why it plays, but it must be used a different way which is why things arent 100%.

What do you mean “no public ROM”? In this thread there’s a June 6 build. The most current private build is June 8. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamer74 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It's brilliant! It is better than what they could have done back in the day if they had chose to port it. I hope that you have plans to do other games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protomank Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Always tough porting early Famicom games could be possible on the Atari. But seeing what was needed and the results, it is simply amazing stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorandy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 This is REALLY impressive for the Atari 2600! Would be cool to even have a sequel cart with different levels/mazes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
