+cvga Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Is it even possible to get the patch for Kaboom on the GameBoy? Without the paddle controls, I'm having a tough time clearing even a few levels let alone enough for 3,000 points! I like being able to use the shoulder buttons but they're not a good enough substitute for the paddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Is it even possible to get the patch for Kaboom on the GameBoy? I doubt it. If there is, I don’t have the patience to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I doubt it's possible, as it's hard enough on a real 2600 with paddle controllers that are in pristine condition. I guess it's fortunate that Activision didn't make any other paddle games. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I don't own it but I wonder if they even playtested the patch scores to see if they were possible. Maybe some geek playtested it and actually got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some geek playtested it and actually got it Yes, every single game was playtested by multiple people to ensure that the patches were obtainable, but I'm not sure what happened specifically with Kaboom! I was one of the people involved in this testing and played a large number of the games far enough to get at least one patch. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Without some sort of hack, I doubt anyone will be getting the patch for that one. It just seems way too hard; nearly requiring super human skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph3 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 The only way to get it would have to be with a Game Shark or Action Replay. It is MUCH easier on the PC version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozyr Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I'm curious, would they have been smart enough to have Kaboom work with the analog controllers when playing through the GameBoy adaptor for the GameCube? This at least would be a bit easier to deal with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 From what I have seen, the GB Player just uses the analog stick as digital switch inputs. Makes for a tricky game of Centipede on the Atari Anniv. cart. Cant ever seem to get the little guy lined up right. That would have been a great feature to have the analog stick control. Slightly off topic: Is there any portable that uses analog controls (other than the Microvision )? Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This at least would be a bit easier to deal with... It may not even be possible to access the additional controller features of the full-blown GameCube controller when using the GBA Player. Do any GBA games use the analog stick? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
