zylon Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) December, our final round of the year, and we'll run the conversion of A8 Caverns Of Mars, on defaults. Use real 5200 systems, and any period era 5200 controls available, without penalty. The only modern exceptions, will be flashcarts/SD loaders. Pics preferred, but not required, except for HSC wins and records. Round ends when month does. Season ends when year does, but the next one is always just around corner. ***This round only- Redemption or similar cx40 adaptor may be used for running the first conversion file, no penalty. However, must be an old style stick, not some arcade gizmo*** Current HSC record- None Final scores- 139,860 RB5200 +11 96,490 DamonicFury +10 49,830 space_dungeon +9 38,910 nitrohepcat +8 31,990 phuzaxeman +7 31,080 rubeon +6 20,170 zylon +5 Current Standings- RB5200 - 124 DamonicFury - 103 rubeon - 82 zylon - 82 nitrohepcat - 47 Mikey50 - 46 jeremiahjt - 38 RangerG - 37 jetset - 31 troff - 23 CentipedeFan - 6 IICCEEMMAANN - 5 Caverns of Mars (XL Conversion).bin Caverns of Mars (Adjusted for CX52).bin Edited January 2 by zylon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 I've added an improved control response version of the game to use, if needed. I'm also going to allow Redemption or similar adaptors for using a cx40 style stick, no penalty, this final round only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubeon Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 31,080 this is not a bad conversion, but I enjoy this more on the 800XL. Might be a case of controller conditioning, but it feels better to me than the 5200 setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
