Could you try the ROM version as well, just to see if that makes a difference (in terms of the display issue -- does the ROM have that issue on Phoenix? I'd check myself, but mine is packed away at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have spent the last couple of days going through this amazing library of quality games and am really enjoying them. Thanks so much. Your generosity is incredible and much appreciated I see this is being played on a Phoenix. I downloaded the above game plus Uridium and Booming Boy for my Phoenix. All have static hiss on them and no music. Not only that but King and Balloon simply wasn't playable. Also downloaded Children of the Night and get a "This game requires the Colecovision super game module" message, which shouldn't happen on the Phoenix. Anybody else had problems with those on the Phoenix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Did you install the latest firmware on your Phoenix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else had problems with those on the Phoenix? Ive had problems using a modern tv where id get background noise too. As you can see I'm using an hdmi to composite adapter and have had much better results. Im not sure if ive tried children of the night but ive had no issues with the bunch i have tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else had problems with those on the Phoenix? What TV are you using? One model of Toshiba gave AtariLeaf and I really bad audio hiss/background noise. If you aren't using the most up to date Colecovision core definitely do that as one of the fixes I believe fixed audio for lots of the games that were having issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have roms and carts aplenty that work fine. It's just these latest roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insertclevernamehere Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Well it looks like I didn't have the latest core after all. I updated to rev 7 and now most of the games work fine. I still need to download the Phoenix specific rom for Wizard of Wor which Pixelboy told me about. King & Balloon still doesn't work properly though. Got a high pitched screech on the title screen. Played the game and you cannot see anything you've fired on screen. Bullets, arrows, whatever they're supposed to be, they're completely invisible. My character also disappeared for part of the game too. So all is now right with the world again. Mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertclevernamehere Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just need to fix King & Baloon. Strange how that one is still not working for me now I have the latest core but others have played it with no issues on the Phoenix. Hmmmmm.

AtariLeaf Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Try redownloading the Rom. Perhaps your sd card has issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didimo63 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thank you, Luc! I too look forward to your roms as much as (or even more so) than my actual Christmas presents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy2tone Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Thank you for the awesome new games. I really appreciate your kindness. Is there a place to get .pdf's of the instructions for the 2020 and 2019 Christmas Present Roms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 On 12/25/2020 at 4:35 AM, Pixelboy said: Also, I would like to share a couple of secret cheats with all you people out there who purchased Bomber King and discovered just how old-school, nail-bittingly, mind-numbingly difficult it is: 1) At any time during the game, press [1] on Player 1's controller and [9] on Player 2's controller simultaneously, and all your items will be maxed out to 99. This doesn't make you invincible however, you do have to remember to press the [0] key in order to use an Energy Tank when your life power is low. But now you'll have 99 Tanks (and 99 of everything else) to tear the levels and bosses to shreds! 2) Press [3] on Player 1's controller and [7] on Player 2's controller simultaneously, and you'll warp to the next level. I tried to test these cheats under blueMSX, and I got the first cheat to work, but not the second cheat for some reason. I'm hoping I got these right, if not let me know and I'll investigate further and post updates in this thread. So, I tried out the cheats and the second one definitely doesn't work (the first one works fine). Tested on an unmodified CV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loafer Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I am way behind in trying these out, busy life and all but wanted to take a second to thank you Luc for your gifts. Good luck with your future endeavors! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artrag Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Sorry for resurrecting this thread is there anyone reporting problems in running Uridium on real CV+SGM? Among emulators the best accuracy in timings and features is offered by openmsx, witch support colecovision and SGM. Also blumsx works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
