IntellivisionMaster Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 40,475 Q-Bert Default. Second game! Tex and North-Coast are inspiring me. I normally need 20 games to get into it. The controls are very frustrating! And it’s a very difficult port of Q-Bert!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I was playing tonight and noticed that when you jump on a flying disc, it kind of looks like a fried egg and you’re the yolk (but orange and qbert shaped) and then I remembered how @Rickster8 keeps calling him EGGBERT...uuuuh, hahaha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 87,140. Some improvement, but with the disc controller it's tough at times. I'm trying to get the video off my phone. I have been using that to record. It is beginning to get much more aggravating than fun. The high score I saw from a previous season here is Season 7 Game 10 - 1. 148,925 scalpel +15 (NEW RECORD +2). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gar0u Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Been spending more time trying to fix my RetroPi than playing Q-Bert. Super disappointed. Hoping to play some this weekend on real hardware with LTO Flash or maybe even my original Q-Bert cartridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionMaster Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Slight improvement. Instead of commenting on my game, I’ll just say &@$&!!@ !!! 58,985 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Got my RetroPi working again--still a noticable difference in controller responsiveness, especially with 8-way games comapred to 4-way games that are just N, S, E, and W. For example, the NE band of the disc is closer to N than E. Halfway between both is just dead. Is this something that can be fine-tuned in a keyboard hack file or jzintv config file? It's very stark. I use all three of my lives on the first screen in Retro Pi, but I easily clear multiple levels on real hardware (with the same controller!) Confirmed controller functionality with controller_test.rom from the Ultimate PC Interface website. Any ideas? Or is this just something we settle for with emulation? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionMaster Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 81,460 That’s as high as I can get. Everything fell into place to get this score! Let’s go Giroux! Get your score in! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 OK--making some progress. (Just documenting here for Google in case others--including me!--have the same problem in the future.) UPCI (Ultimate PC Interface) DIP switches are both UP, and auto-sense only works on power up. So both controllers need to be plugged in if you intend to use them. controller_test.rom shows that the right controller (Serial B) has three different values between E and S (10F, 10E, 10D) while my left controller (Serial A) only has OOD--closest to S. So that explains the dead zone. Swapping controllers indicates a failing Flashback controller. It's now in the "spare parts" bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Just cleared the first screen in speed run mode using my RetroPi! It's easier for me to get some game time in in emulation, otherwise I'm competing with the family for the big screen TV. 😛 Watch out guys, here I come! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
