Would also like to play it on my A7800 & GD7800 👍 I may be wrong, but AFAIK there are no plans to port Tony over to the Atari 7800. Of course I may have just missed this. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/360721-tony-born-for-adventure/page/9/#findComment-5528412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 How often does it get updated on itch.io, please? Apparently v. 1.8 already exists, but 1.7 available for download..

Beeblebrox Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I've downloaded 1.7. It may have already been tweaked in 1.8, but if it hasn't I have a small observation which is just a bit of constructive critisim and tiny request. If it doesn't happen, no big deal. (If ya don't ask ya don't get, right?) I always select the black and white two tone non colour mode when playing. It takes maybe 10 space bar presses to cycle to this option when you start the game. However, when you die and lose all lives, after game over when you restart, the colour scheme reverts back to the two colour colour green hue two tone option. This means you have to cycle through to black and white again. As I say, it's no big deal, but it would be great if it would remember your choice after restarting. Thanks (Maaannn do I feel picky here heh heh!! ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/360721-tony-born-for-adventure/page/9/#findComment-5529113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 @RafalDudek tonygo needs 60 hz adjustment, he goes out of phase blanking in and out periodically, a little stutter on backgrounds every now and again. The normal little tweaks will be needed.

popmilo Posted October 8 Author Share Posted October 8 Fixed version is uploaded on Itch.io page. Sorry for a stupid bug I was testing scoring balance and put in some crazy high numbers to quickly see if getting a life on each 10k points works, and forgot to reset it back to normal ps. I still don't guarantee you won't get glitch if you're crazy good and manage to go full speed for a long time @_The Doctor__ sorry to say it's PAL only for now. I tried version without moving clouds and parallax ground but even without that part it takes too much cpu time to draw all gfx and move screen fast. Would need a totally different approach to work on ntsc... 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/360721-tony-born-for-adventure/page/9/#findComment-5545801 Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) I haven't looked but it's so close to working just fine, don't know if deferred vs immediate vbi or some order of operations changes would get it done, cut a few lines of empty space from the display list, those sorts of things, as it does not miss by much. as far as speed, even if code runs slower in 50 hz is would speed up in 60 hz world so it might not be one program for both systems due to programs implementation. Currently the 50 hz play is definitely slower on 50 as opposed to 60, It's kind of like elektraglide in that respect, except of course as that game becomes insanely fast without glitches, just the timer to complete a level runs out very quick for 60. When finally playing that game after being fixed or at 50 in the emulator- well it was not as difficult a challenge. I just thought it was a good but difficult game until looking into it. Never thought about it, just like dropzone, that played mad fast without issues but it was actually needing a tweak to slow it down. Neither company had given the US release a run through, they just check if the first level or two played Oh, look I got sidetracked, oops! Anyway, the first paragraph above is what we've done for a great number of the games that otherwise would never be 60, The only other tweak for some was sound, in which the tune had to pick a different portion to run in order not to take processor time a critical moments. moving the tune playing so the two intense sections would not overlap, sound vs graphics. I didn't here a song in Go during play, but I didn't check my volume etc, maybe I'll see if there is a sound on off or something to mess with. It really does play (and it can be played since you kind of know where you should be during drop outs).

NTSC 60 further reporting, The faster it goes the less glitching occurs on background and parallel layers, same in mono or color . Great news follows When Tony crouches (ducking down into cart) all glitches disappear! So at all speeds fastest or slowest when TONY ducks or crouches there are zero glitches This is an important piece of information, it is clue to fixing up for NTSC60. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/360721-tony-born-for-adventure/page/9/#findComment-5547039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 @popmilo Not sure if the issue is already addressed, but are you aware of parallax scrolling at the bottom visually stopping at certain speed? You can observe it round 2:55. Not sure if @RafalDudek forwarded this report to you already.

It would possibly be missed. More likely... Is it possible the recording process is making it seem to stall but it's really just a frame rate shuttering effect of capturing and youtube processing?

marauder666 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Tony Go isnt working on my PAL 600XL with U1MB using a AVG Cart. Just garbage on screen. It does work if I switch the AVG into SIDE emulation mode and use the U1MB loader. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/360721-tony-born-for-adventure/page/9/#findComment-5547649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
