No more mention of "XM Enhanced" on the title screen: Perhaps @Albert, @CPUWIZ or, @Tempest can allow the title of the post to be edited; changing to "PMC - 40th Anniversary", or something along those lines, instead of "First XM specific game". I had not tried the newest version. That is MUCH better. "XM Sound" could be "Yamaha Sound" or "Pokey Sound" and then it's all cleaned up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tep392 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I'm happy that the YM chip is being incorporated into an SD cart so all that time I put into the YM sound doesn't go to waste. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still dreaming about 7800 Dig Dug with YM sound.. This Pac Man YM game is grreat! Cept I always sucked at Pac Man.. which makes me feel horrible that I am not able to enjoy it like I should. Is that some type of disorder to be pretty good at video games but suck at Pac? Hopefully a checkbox I can use at least for tax time? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be interested but i even more interested if it had POKEY and/or YM sound. ? EDIT: A few years ago, I think @MrFish did a re-working of the two separate (!) official A8 Dig Dug cart releases, combing some graphical tweaks to sprites and dirt layers with the faster gameplay of one of the versions to create a really great version. That’s my personal “go to” version to play on my A8 machines. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to be able to buy a ROM of this title to play on my (eventual) Dragonfly cart next year. The ROM is downloadable in this very thread.

But presumably, cartridge sales actually put a little $$ in your pocket as a token of fan-appreciation. Maybe you could put a PayPal donation link your signature? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, Bob has been an extremely generous guy for too many years, he has always released the free ROM for every game he has worked on. Bob has devoted a significant amount of his time to our community, he has essentially rewritten the history of the 7800, capturing the interest of a growing audience and the enthusiasm of new developers. I really think that each of us, within the limits of our possibilities, can show in a "concrete" way our gratitude to the developers, not only by purchasing the cartridges (which in any case deserve a greater number of sales than the current one) but also by supporting the purchase of ROMs if you prefer to play under emulation. So, it would be a great initiative if our community seriously incentivized Bob to only offer free demo versions of his new games. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad people like the result of what I really enjoy doing... I'm going to try to get back to Adventure III after the beginning of the year; I liked where that was heading. 7 hours ago, Mitch said: Done! Mitch Thanks, Mitch *BTW, I don't have the Real Estate to replace 'XM' with 'Yamaha' on that title screen. Should I just do 'YM' instead?
