I was hoping with the items mentioned by @playsoft and @RevEng, applied at the header and game code level respectively, would be the fix/workaround for the Concerto concerning A.R.T.I. as well. The results unfortunately, beg to differ, unless something else is amiss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 That build is still doing the pokey autodetection. v0.20 of 7800basic has the static pokey init feature, but I think you probably have a custom pokeysound.asm in your project dir that's overriding the 7800basic one.

Yep, I was loading it into the reserved area. Should I change what I'm loading with a different pokeysound.asm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I change what I'm loading with a different pokeysound.asm? Not sure what you mean, since pokysound.asm normally goes in the reserved area. In any case, to get the static pokey init, you'll need the new pokeysound.asm, but any customisation done to the old one will need to be ported to the new one.

Yes, that's the one I'm using, also, my explanation wasn't good on the previous post. I went and checked the 7800basic build that ARTI is compiling on. What I'm doing is adding the POKEYCONFIGBank8 to the includes as I'm using bank 8 for graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 With some great help from @RevEng, I've got another build for Concerto users. Fingers crossed! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed! Unfortunately same results as the prior build, after getting past the intro screen, the game is playing, you can here the sound effects and move around (And ultimately die when energy runs out), but the screen is completely blank/black screen. No POKEY music either. I noticed pokey@450 was set in the header, after trying the above, I stripped it out, and gave it another shot, utilizing this resulting file: However, similar to the prior stripping, on the last build, the graphics are all present throughout now, but there is still no POKEY music. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Ok, so with help from @RevEng and @Trebor I think we have a winner This was mostly down to me screwing things up, but I think we're fixed now. This version should run on Concerto... really! (This is a Concerto only build, on other devices it will likely have no POKEY sound). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, make sure are using the right pokeysound.asm and not an ancient version by mistake To get A.R.T.I. working with Concerto, I recompiled using "set pokeysupport $450" on 7800Basic v0.20 and then @Trebor removed the POKEY@450 from the header. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Muddyfunster Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Thanks for the kind words guys, appreciated! I wanted to post a little update on A.R.T.I. After rescuing all the folks that got themselves lost in South America, Arty and his team moved on to the Nile Valley & Giza Plateau for more rescue adventures. Egypt's tiles are far from finalised but I'm happy enough to share a snapshot of where it's at. I hope to have a new demo out in a week or 2. 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Defender_2600 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Fantastic. Believe it or not, a few weeks ago I was going to ask if you would like to set a level in Egypt, but then I thought maybe it was too late to ask. So thank you. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Muddyfunster Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 A little update on A.R.T.I. I've pretty much finished tweaking the Egypt tiles...well maybe... I don't think tiles are ever finished, they are abandoned and I'll probably still end up tweaking them some more before I'm done. This tileset has had a lot of changes in both content and palette and conceptually ended up being much harder than I expected. Anyway, here's a peek at what's coming in the next demo, which isn't too far away. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
