Ikrananka Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 10 hours ago, opcode said: A particular game that I am sure would translate great for the CV is Crazy Climber, another Nichibutsu classic. Release only for the 2600, and even so in a limited edition. And the port wasn’t great either. Would be a great match for the extra buttons in the Super Action Controller. Crazy Climber was always a particular favourite of mine in the arcades. Would love to see that on the CV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledown Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 ...and as @sramirez2008 indicated...a great candidate for a twin-stick controller...like this: ? (not thread-jacking or antagonizing...just having some fun) ...but with different artwork obviously Of course however its programmed, a twin stick controller can be always made (and probably will be...wink, wink). But it would definitely be easier and less expensive to build a twin-stick, if as Eduardo mentions, it uses the extra buttons from only 1 controller. I could imagine though, how others may simply want to use 2 CV Hand Controllers they already own, strapped down to a plank of wood, for a "budget friendly" twin-stick controller, but Eduardo...you have my absolute blessing to use the extra buttons from 1 controller for this! ? Again, note...this is all in fun. But seriously, if Crazy Climber becomes available...there will be a Twin-Stick controller for it...mark my words. ? While you're at it...lets see Robotron: 2084, Space Dungeon, and Black Widow for the ColecoVision! Let the good times roll! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, out of print, but your question was "Is there ever a chance of an arcade port of Mario Bros?" and the answer most certainly is that it has already been ported.

Yes, the ROM is available with a CollectorVision club membership. An earlier revision of the game ROM is also bundled free with the purchase of an AtariMax Ultimate SD cart.

insertclevernamehere Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm getting zero sound fx when firing in this game on my Phoenix. Anybody else have this and does it have the distinctive Moon Cresta sound when firing? I've played with the sound settings on my tv, tried my headphones and another tv. No success. Anybody know what the problem might be? I've reached out to Opcode but thought I'd post here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried two tv's with 2 different hdmi cables and my headphones without success. The only thing it could be other than a faulty cart is a faulty Phoenix but I don't have any issues with any other games as far as I know. I reached out to Opcode a couple of days ago but haven't heard anything. I hope I hear from them soon and they will be amenable to sending a replacement and that a replacement cart fixes the issue. I don't like long waits of silence when something needs rectifying. I'm a worrier and can't help stewing in my own juice. Especially when I've paid good money for something that isn't working properly. If it turns out to be a Phoenix issue, I think I'm done with the console and Colecovision game collecting.

Have you tried to update to the latest Phoenix firmware? That should be the first thing all Phoenix users should do. Please contact the manufacturer and make sure you are at the latest firmware.

I have the latest firmware updates as per the "Collectorvision Phoenix Release Thread". It doesn't look like there's a more recent one than July 2020 but maybe there's a newer one elsewhere?

insertclevernamehere Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) There is a slight crackle on the speaker in place of the actual firing sound in Moon Cresta. I've also noticed a crackle but no absence of sound on my cart of DKA (see video - comes out as a more bass thump on the video). IMG_1300.MOV This also happens on my digital download of DKA off the SD card. These 2 Opcode games are the only ones I've ever noticed this crackle and/or absence of a sound effect. I don't understand why this is happening with my 2 Opcode games. None of my original games or after market games from Team Pixelboy and Collectorvision have this isssue. It's extremely frustrating and disappointing to the point I don't think I want to risk getting any more Opcode games. And if I can't get them, I see no point in continuing with owning this Phoenix. I may post on AtariAge at some point to see if anyone is interested in purchasing it. Ideally though, I REALLY want a solution and no sound glitches with my Opcode games! Especially as I've already shelled out for season 2 of the Opcode game club and would love to continue buying more Opcode games IF there were no sound glitches. EDIT: I've also noticed that the volume and pitch of the tune at the beginning of Moon Cresta is so high and shrill, I have to turn the volume down several notches lower than any other game. Don't know if that's just me or another problem. Edited October 6, 2023 by insertclevernamehere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertclevernamehere Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Here’s a video of my Moon Cresta with possibly overly loud, shrill music (or just me being wrong) and an absence of the shooting sound. IMG_2066.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well, since the DKA also sounds a little weird, and no one else with a Phoenix is reporting the same issue, I don't think it has anything to do with the cartridges. It is probably something wrong with the ColecoVision core or something with the sound output. I don't think replacing your cartridges will fix the issue. Your best diagnostic solution at this point would be to test the games on a real ColecoVision. Please let me know. Also, if any other Phoenix owner here can please record the sound output, that would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
