But in my case, it would be useless since I down any device that can play optical disks. If I could have a choice, I would prefer audio cassette plus a code to download the soundtrack.

_The Doctor__ Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) hmmm no backward compatible devices or old tech to play, the world is fleeting... but those other options sound very good too.

Yup tis great to have the CD but you are right - would have to dig out my CD player. Nice to own it and just play the digital tracks once converted. I definitely would love to have this special edition boxed version in my collection. Great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alortegac Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Totally stuck here. Wondering if I have to start all over again....do the order of collecting items matters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) The order does not matter. You have all the items you need so far (and some that you don't). 🙂 Spoiler The next thing to do is to use the screwdriver somewhere.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm sure this was asked during the stream last night but I was only listening in the background. But will the physical cart work on NTSC consoles? Will the palettes be adjusted for NTSC consoles? It might not matter for me since my VBXE is using PAL palettes anyway, but just curious?

The physical release should work on NTSC systems. Regarding colors, adjusting all of the graphics for NTSC palette would be quite a challenge, with nearly 60 images while most contain dozens of colors and are hard-coded in the game code. If possible, I will try to do some tuning at least to some of the colors where it matters (for example to not have green-ish underground tunnels).

Wilheim Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) I just installed a VBXE on my NTSC machine, and now I’m watching some graphic glitches on my monitor using rgb video on this game.When I switch to svideo or composite (original GTIA) it works fine. also, I don’t have any other issue with VBXE and non-VBXE software. This is the only case. does anyone know what could be the reason? Edited October 9, 2023 by Wilheim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only case. does anyone know what could be the reason? Couple of questions. Can you upload a pic of the screen glitches. I am assuming these are vertical bars? What A8 are we talking about? Is your machine kitted out with both VBXE and u1mb? Are you using side3 to load the game as a mounted car? If you have an atari XE or say an 800xl/600xl and your machine has both VBXE and side3, on some systems I've found it exhibits glitches until you swap out the 74ls08 chip for either a 74f08, it preferably the new o2 fixer chip now available. Also I have found that actually where you think you have a fully working gtia, where VBXE is installed, it turns out sometimes something isn't right with it and swapping it out for another gtia works. So yeah, let us know all the answers to the above as well need to know them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilheim Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I’m using an ntsc with u1mb, VBXE, 74f08 with a subcart. i will try with my original Onescape cartridge as soon as I get back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. Be interested to see. I found that the only things I changed that fixed my glitches was the O2 fixer chip and also swapping out the gtia. Where again the gtia I took out was absolutely fine in another A8 I subsequently put it in with no VBXE or u1mb present. If you could still upload an image of the glitches?

Well, I just tried with an original cartridge and the glitches faded. The graphics behave better. it seems that I need a phi2 fixer. thanks for the advice!

Would be interested to hear if it worked. Can you still post an image of the glitches you see when running the game as before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Definitely looks like you could try the o2 fixer. Also do you see these little glitches if you go into u1mb bios whilst on rgb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
