Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Did you played the game till the end (game over)? The ROMs send the score only, after every game over. Unfinished or interrupted games will not appear in the high score list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yeah I played till game over, I'll play again some later. Maybe it'll work now that things are connected now.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've been doing a lot of reorganizing in the public roms, trying to make it easier to navigate and the latest roms are updated everyday even though compatibility isn't there yet. Anyone else who has a Plus Cart could you please get with me and help me with testing. Some games should run and they don't on my end, want to make sure it's a compatibility issue and not a system issue.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I am still experimenting with the Pluscart, and I want to write a review about it when I figured everything out. Was bedridden for 3 weeks with flue (no, not that one), 90% better now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Al_Nafuur Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 I've set up a trello board and pasted in all ideas for the PlusCart: https://trello.com/b/vcpDw4Qc/pluscart-feature-discussion-board the board is public readable, all trello user can comment and vote, but only invited user can set up new cards or move them. So if you like to vote and comment for new PlusCart, PlusROM or PlusStore features, just set up a free trello account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Al_Nafuur Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 @Dionoid has modified Amoeba Jump for using the PlusROM functions and sending the score to the "PlusCart High Score Club". PlusCart user/tester can find the PAL and NTSC versions in the PlusStore directory "Public ROMs\PlusROMs\Highscore GA" The NTSC version can be played online in javatari, but there will be a generated user name in high score board.

For '2600 homebrew developers interested in connecting their game to the PlusCart highscore board: it is pretty simple. However you will need to set an additional 31 bytes at the start of your rom-bank (containing the URL of the highscore API), so that probably needs some of your code to be shuffled around.

Javatari.js and all other emulator user can not register at or download from the PlusStore (see. http://pluscart.firmaplus.de/pico/?PlusStore). The PlusStore is just a "smart" storage for the PlusCart, with a feature to resolve PlusCart id's to a (unique) PlusStore Username via the openAPI for the PlusROM backends. Other devices and emulators don't need this storage, because they (most probably) have their own SD-Card, harddisk, or what ever.. The PlusROM backends might implement their own registration if they want, but the high score backend has none (currently). In the next release of my Javatari.js fork i plan to implement a new feature, so Users will be prompted for a nickname at the start of the first PlusROM (or can store this nickname in the options). This (not unique!) nickname will be send with the generated id to the PlusROM backends. The backends can use both information to generate "unique" entries like "Arenafoot Javatari user 12" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See more information on https://pluscart.firmaplus.de/pico/?PlusROM with the new release of the PlusROM enabled Javatari.js and PlusCart firmware the PlusROM specs have changed. Now the definition of the internet back end can be placed (nearly) everywhere inside the ROM file.

PlusCart user/tester can find the PAL, PAL60 and NTSC versions in the PlusStore directory "Public ROMs\PlusROMs\Highscore GA" The NTSC version can be played online in javatari, this new release of Javatari will ask, at the start of the first PlusROM, for a nickname to send to the back ends.

And I was using Javatari...... You have registered at the PlusStore, but the emulators (like Javatari) are not connected to the PlusStore. For generating a nickname in your Javatari you have to delete the local storage for the domain "pluscart.firmaplus.de" in your browser. Then your browser will generate a new uuid and prompt for a nickname when you reload the javatari website. Since you already registered at the PlusStore, PM me your address if you would like to test the PlusCart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are describing was a problem with the initial PlusROM version of Amoeba Jump, but an updated version was deployed on 3/18/2020 that fixes this. Actually I had the same problem (my PlusCart appeared to be running the old version of my rom), which I reported to Wolfgang. I assumed the PlusCart used a 'cached' version of my rom, but that shouldn't be possible. To be sure I also checked the code of Amoeba Jump again; it should really save the score on each attempt.
