TheNameOfTheGame Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Hi guys, Been awhile but I have made a lot of HAGA hard drive adapted conversions and adaptations in the time that are available on Ppera's site for download. Since the old thread is locked, here is a new one with updates. New HAGA conversions: Alien Storm Alien Syndrome All Points Bulletin aka APB Axel's Magic Hammer Big Run Blinky's Scary School Bubble Dizzy Bug Bash Buggy Boy Cadaver Chaos Engine - it needs less RAM with STE Chase HQ Chuckie Egg Chuckie Egg 2 Cisco Heat CJ in USA Cloud Kingdoms Corporation Cybernoid Cybernoid 2 Edd the Duck Eliminator Forgotten Worlds (done mostly by Peter- thanks!) Frankenstein Frenetic Gemini Wing Gods Hell Bent Honda RVF Indigo Jim Power Kamikaze Kid Gloves 2 Knightmare Magicland Dizzy Magic Pockets Mega Twins Nebulus Netherworld Outrun Europa Pipe Dream (aka Pipe Mania) Flimbos Quest Prince of the Yolkfolk Dizzy Quartz Rana Rama Rick Dangerous Rick Dangerous 2 Risky Woods Saint Dragon Shinobi Snoopy Spellbound Dizzy Starquake Street Fighter Street Fighter 2 Strider Strider 2 Stunt Car Racer Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: The Coin-Op Top Cat (assist from Peter!) Torvak the Warrior Treasure Island Dizzy Video Kid Xenon New HAGA adaptations: Army Moves Cadaver the Payoff ESWAT: Cyber Police All games have instructions in their zips. If none were available, I typed/OCRed them. And to add to these, Peter has done so many new adaptations also in the meanwhile. Visit the download page for all the files: https://atari.8bitchip.info/fromhd3.php. And the forum thread where Peter's (and mine) new releases are announced: https://forum.8bitchip.info/atari-software/new-game-adaptations/ Edited December 10, 2023 by TheNameOfTheGame 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikro Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) I'm a bit confused - I'm sure Xenon or Stunt Car Racer have been adapted by Ppera before? Or was it you and you just list them for completeness? Edited December 10, 2023 by mikro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Yes, those were GAMEX adaptations though. GAMEX is Peter's oldest system and has some limitations including needing a hard disk driver and therefore can't be run on hatari or steem without an ASCI image w/driver. HAGA is his newest system and can run driver independent i.e. also direct from gemdos drive in hatari. It also allows games to be run on various machines including Falcon. And then it has in-game save states without leaving the running game. Overall a better system. So I've been converting the older GAMEX games over to the new system. Those are the games listed under "New HAGA conversions". Peter has a introduction to HAGA over at his website: https://atari.8bitchip.info/hagaIntr.html. Of course, games I have under "New HAGA adaptations" are new ones, not on GAMEX or HAGA previously. Hope that clears it up a bit. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikro Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Nice, makes much more sense now. I have been often wondering whether / how often the adaptations are updated, i.e. if someone reports a bug which happens to be in the loader itself. With 1000+ games using the same loader... that could be quite a challenge. Now I read HAGA's description, it's a nice system. With its custom TOS it is much closer to WHDLoad on Amiga (which also implements own OS routines, AFAIK). Especially the shared kernel part is pretty cool.

+eebuckeye Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I believe Peter was working on a new menu system awhile back - is he still working that or is this the new version? Looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks awesome! The launcher from the other thread is an alternative launcher that I've been working on. Not related to Peter's launcher.

8bitrocket Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Your launcher and HAGA conversions are excellent. I Have been making little 5MB ASCI hard drive images of the GameX games that I try to use in Hatari, but Haga versions would solve the need for those!

Thanks, that is also one of the reasons I started converting the older GAMEX games. Plus the save state handling is better in HAGA. If there are any specific GAMEX games you are interested in getting conversions for, let me know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
