Theenemy Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Dropzone +6HDG By TheEnemy of TREX 1. Title page converted from Ste86 c64 pic and then touched up on atari 2. Documents added 3. 6 trainers added 4. High saver to disk added (wont save if any trainer on) 5. Bugs have been fixed, ntsc issues have been fixed which includes: *The dropzone logo wouldnt drop and had issues *Garbage was shown on screen after game over Other fixes for both include: *Overscan on the left is now fixed which probably only effects when shown on new tvs. *The colour of the dropzone player is now lighter in cloak mode *Finally I fixed the name entry as it was far too sensitive. Please make sure on new devices such as SIO2SD etc when saving that you give enough time to make sure it has saved before turning the Atari off as on some models we noticed there was a little bit of a delay before this process was complete. Any problems/bugs then let me know and i will look into them. Hope you enjoy it.

Writing the scraper is going to take a while, because I have to determine the extent of where the high scores actually begin, and then re-order the bytes so that they can be written out (at the same time while converting from screen codes to ASCII). This should be interesting (in a, tooth drilling kind of way) -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 There was and NTSC fixed version with most of those fixes done somewhere in the forums. It probably could use a couple more fixes and tweaks as all fixes are not equal but I'd expect it would be a favorable move to work with both of these versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Seems to crash with Altirra in NTSC when exiting the "Crack Intro". Works in PAL. Everything else works in NTSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested it some more and sometimes it doesn't crash, sometimes it does. Here is an Altirra savestate file at a crash point, if that helps any. dropzone crack intro exit - crash.atstate2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as speed patch from ntsc to pal it was something I looked at and spoke to wrathchild about .. if enough interest then I can look into implementing as an option to turn it on or off Btw many thanks for the feedback and friendly comments .. really appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo drop animation seems fine on NTSC to me; but just before the drop animation, there is a short graphical glitch where the graphics flash for an instance. I checked and it doesn't happen when running on PAL. (This is running in Altirra, again. I haven't tested on real hardware yet.) 23 minutes ago, Theenemy said: As far as speed patch from ntsc to pal it was something I looked at and spoke to wrathchild about .. if enough interest then I can look into implementing as an option to turn it on or off Interested. The game is a bit too fast on NTSC; but I like seeing/playing it without the fix sometimes, because it plays really smooth. So, as an option would be nice.

_The Doctor__ Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) properly fixed tweaked it would still be smooth, but a few fixes were done, some might be slightly over zelous because a though of adding a cycle or two might be more safe some how. I used to play it all that time at ludicrous speed so when competing on PAL machine later, mopped the floor quick. Never realized it was supposed to be slower, but that happened a bit with some titles. The never corrected timers etc. Think Elektraglide etc. later quick fixes were done but some adjustment might have been needed. I would have been happy with just having the time to complete extended or adjusted, because fast game play was exciting, it is rough when things ramp up of progression and added enemy games are like kill boxes though.

Theenemy Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Just to let you guys know, I will look at the crash of intro and garbage shown in game when played in ntsc soon. I am just working on some other project that is taking a lot of my time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
