Mr Robot Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Fujinet doesn’t load any CAR files, it’s an SIO device so only loads CAS, ATR, ATX, XEX. I’ve run the SD and DD ATR versions from Fujinet without issue from a remote TNFS server. I did have to turn off HSIO. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle22 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I just want a good .ATR image that will work with SIDE and Incognito Loader. It should load very quickly from hard disk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Wow, it’s pretty rare that the Mod staff has to actually step into a thread in the A8 forum and do a cleanup, especially after Mod warnings to knock it off. Well done, people. ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how his waistcoat exposes his bare chest for just a single frame during the run cycle. It's little touches like that and and the quality of the shading on the far leg that just bring the character to life. Incredible job for such a restricted palette. You should consider doing some Aesprite tutorials on Youtube; I'd watch that. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about this last night and one game from the arcades (though I only knew the Amiga version) that would be great on the Atari and I think would give TIX's skills a workout but is totally doable would be Plotting.

It should load very quickly from hard disk. 100%. But apparently this is a competition regarding the A8 vs the rest of the retro community and as a platform the perceived underdog has a point to make by sticking to 128k. It's something I find mind boggling, and I stand by my original comment that had a working .CAR not been made available I would have lost interest in the game, there's nothing wrong with stating that and I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. Anyway, great job Rensoup. I'm thankful someone alerted FJC to the SIDE3 issue, otherwise there's every chance there'd be at least one multi cart not running the game right now.

Seems it came out for a bunch of home computers including the CPC, Speccy and C64 but never got an Atari release. https://www.mobygames.com/game/plotting I did take a quick look at Galaga, it's crazy that it's got 3 CPUs dedicated to running the game code (not for music or anything like that). It'd be pretty tight to get it running at 60fps on the XL! I suppose you've seen playsoft's tech demo: Puzzle games are a lot less interesting technically... that's probably why there's already several conversions!

The early version of the sprite looks like he had been injured and was dragging his left leg trying to run at the same time lol The final art is pure eye candy however! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a GREAT, work-in-progress multi-sprite test posted before... Here are the two versions: 240p-TEST-Galaga_big.xex 240p-TEST-Galaga_small.xex I would LOOOOVE to see a good, fluid Galaga on A8, even if it means a bit lower # of active sprites at any given time.
