I downloaded the game from this location but when I play it with rapidus enabled I get A LOT more planes than in the video above. Any ideas why this happens? I mean it nearly gets unplayable that way. Apart from that in normal 8-bit mode the game is fantastic! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) It's like a demo. Swarm mode. START starts normally. SELECT turns on SWARM mode. Edited September 4, 2021 by Keatah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Had a short play after a long time, love it but a bit hard on my aching hands, so a quick hack in Altirra for Inf lives.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm missing what swarm mode is, also, after a set of hits I heard a fx and thought I saw a box around a plane? Am I losing it (easy, yes) but if not what does it do, I tried space but it just paused the game. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Swarm mode requires RAPIDUS enabled, or a 65C816 selected. I too have have seen boxes around planes. And the buzzing, I think there's 2 kinds, one for the boss plane, and one that happening from sort of bug/or artifacting.

Keatah Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Noticed that the spiral graphic when the game starts rotates in the wrong direction compared to the arcade. And there is an astronaut in the saucer level you have to rescue. Don't recall seeing it in the arcade version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 The game was always flawless on my 130XE and 800XL, I am not sure if they updated it and now there are those issues... time to try previous version and narrow down where the bug(s) was(were) introduced.

patjomki Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Ah, I see. @Keatah thanks for the explanation. Now rapidus mode works like expected. This mode is really fun to play although the unaccelerated mode is impressive enough. I am really looking forward to flimbo's quest and the great giana sisters from NG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Time Pilot 16 works, but has some small graphic glitches and is slow. Can you measure the CPU speed and act accordingly?
