alucardX Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I just had the chance to play this. Excellent work!!! I had to give the NES version a try because it has been so many years and the quality difference in this 7800 version vs. the NES is simply amazing. I didn't realize how bad the NES version is/was. I actually had a hard time enjoying the NES version back in the day but had to drag myself away from the this 7800 version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKON Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 This is probably going to sound silly BUT what is the difference between the difficulty settings????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It affects the fire power of your P38 and the small enemy planes. From here: "The game was written for NTSC but supports PAL. The slower refresh rate makes it easier, so it defaults to the hardest difficulty setting on a PAL console." @playsoft may wish to provide more detailed specifics.

That is the benefit of doing a port - as long as you can copy the game closely enough you know what you are getting in terms of gameplay. So hats off to people like yourself doing original games. 16 hours ago, Muddyfunster said: Congratulations Paul, 1942 is a fantastic port! Thanks Lewis, congratulations on the TWO awards you did win this year! 4 hours ago, mksmith said: @playsoft @TIX Congrats to you both for this amazing conversion - very much a deserved winner 👏👏👏 Thanks Matt, when I saw the nominations I thought Petscii was the favourite - it or Keystone Koppers could easily have won. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corby Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Well anyways, I haven't said this in quiet awhile but, I'd like to be on a list for when this badboy gets crammed into a 7800 cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will not be a cart release. The developer has made mention of no physical cartridge release on a few occasions. It is just a free ROM release. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This info save me hours of debugging time My 256KB build is working on JS7800 but now I have to make sure that is XM enabled in settings. How did you avoided that issue?

In the JS7800 build I omit the YM2151@460 bit in the header but I have XM enabled: 7800 A78 Header Info : 1942j.a78 embedded game name : 1942 rom size : 262144 cart format : SuperGame ram@4000 controllers : 7800joy1 7800joy2 save peripheral : HSC xm/xboard : enabled tv format : NTSC One other thing is that JS7800 does not support the YM timers, so you cannot use them to detect YM presence. In the JS7800 build I let it do the detection, but when it fails I pretend that it was detected! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Thanks. I didn't notice that is XM bit in the header 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
