carlsson Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Yes, that is because it is fresh from my hard drive. I just made a binary patch to the existing XEX, thus encouraging people to try it out to see if it plays like expected. I tested it in Altirra and it seems OK to me. The version you uploaded from Jose is 107 bytes bigger, which suggests to me it got more changes than just the value of one byte. 105 of those are padding at the end of the XEX so it leaves 2 bytes more code/data. Aha, already at $008A in the XEX (not to be confused with memory addresses) there is an extra two bytes $BA $68 inserted. I have no clue about the XEX format so I suppose that has some use.

+therealbountybob Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks Guys. So we now have a normal lives version of Montezuma Again! posted above by devwebcl. I've linked it on the first post. Also added a Super Pacman bonus challenge too. Not played Montezuma for ages so look forward to tackling some new screens. Have fun and remember we can extend this round if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusakat Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Monty 5 lives version: 12,350. Sorry, no screenshot. Plus I'm back to using an emulator because of some damage on my 65XE's joystick circuits. Will have to have it fixed when the pandemic is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magmavision2000 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) So, the Montezuma 5 lives rom crashes you get a game over. Is there anything I can do about that? Edit: now it's restarting. But it restarts me in the last room I was in. Edited April 1, 2020 by Magmavision2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graywest Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Super Pac-Man: 55,600 ...and then I ran into the "doors not opening even when you've eaten every key" bug and lost my last two lives. ?? Is anyone playing this on real NTSC hardware? I was using Super Pac-Man (1984) (Atari) (US) (proto) (a2) [k-file].atr from atarionline.pl and it has the bug. Is there a better NTSC .atr version that I can use? Edited April 1, 2020 by graywest spelling fix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you press Start, it will restart from first screen, but if you press fire button it acts like "continue" rather than "restart". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also enter their hideout, so if you time it right, you can get in there while they're all still blue and wipe them out again, and again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Not got my Super Pacman Mojo on yet but I'm sure it will come, might have to change sticks - 49,790 Played "Montezuma Again!" (for the first time) and YES you forget what a really nice game it is, not needed to do any mapping yet. I'm working on a platform game again for abbuc so playing Monty might give me some ideas, everything is so slick - unlike in my game!! 28,350 It does go to a black screen at the end and not show the high score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Oh, how much I fear the difficulty level when therealbountybob makes his own platform game. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
