+Al_Nafuur Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Sega "Tac-Scan" has been modified for the PlusROM High Score Club. The game uses the Paddles on the right joystick port. Tac-Scan originally came with a 'Performance Tracking' score card. On the back of said score card is an offer from Sega for a free jacket patch if the player achieves a high score (a Awesome patch for a score above 200,000 and a Sega-Mundo patch for scores above 300,000). However, it seems that these patches never appeared anywhere. If anyone knows more about this, or knows where these patches can be found, then I can still setup these patches in the HSC. The source code with the PlusROM functions for the HSC backend added can be found at the PlusROM example/hacks github repository here: https://github.com/Al-Nafuur/PlusROM-Hacks/tree/main/High Score Club hacks/Tac-Scan HSC As always, PlusCart user can find the PAL60 and NTSC versions in the PlusStore directory "Public ROMs\PlusROMs\High Score Club" The NTSC version can be played online in javatari.js. The ROM-file can also be played with Gopher2600, or the newest version of Stella.

killersquirel Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 If I could make a request. The new home-brew game Tumblers would make a great High Score Challenge game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodog34 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I can't get Asteroids HSC PAL.Bin to work on my setup without it crashing as soon as it's started. Does anyone know if there are any special settings it needs to be able to work with OSSC? I use 2600RGB with OSSC. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it "crash" back to the PlusCart menu on your system? If you get the status message "Emulation Exited" you might try to disable the exit function in the "Setup" menu.

There's a few second wait, then a blank screen, then a few seconds of the game that doesn't respond to controller, then blank screen etc. No worries just wondered if anyone else had had similar and found a work around. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one called 'Asteroids NO COPYRIGHT SCREEN PAL.bin' does work but the one with the copyright screen fails in similar fashion to the HSC one.
