StanJr Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 These two hacks do not like StellaX. Don't get hit.... and Defender Vector anybody know why? stellahaters.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Wrong size...4k bins must be exactly 4096 bytes, otherwise the console won't be able to locate the interrupt, start, and init vectors (the last 6 bytes of the binary). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 so will they play on OTHER emus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 If they do, it would be a shortcoming in the emulator Roms are expected to be a specific size (which you can insure by using ORG $fffa just before those vectors in the assembly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 so basically, those ROMS are useless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Nah...they were easily fixed: corrected.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Crap...the freeway hack works, but the Defender hack didn't (it did with Z26 tho). I poked at it a bit, and now I can get it to run, but the colors are messed up Who made this? Neo? He needs to correct his assembly so it compiles to the right size. BTW Neo, Dan Boris has a Defender disassembly file you can work with that has many things already labelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Oops...it was Atarius. From this thread (which also contains a bad rom): http://atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40631 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 wow, so now those two work again? Nukey you totally rock. The Don't Get Hit works great again, but the Defender Vector is incredibly dark and what I can see is a very dark red. Is that the way it is intended to be????

NE146 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Why do you use Stella in the first place? Doesn't the sound suck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vb_master Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Don't get hit... works on PCAE, when I made the final version, I saied, "Why is the BIN over 4kb? It works fine with PCAE, so it should work with everything!" I was wrong I guess, and I was too tired to ask Nukey how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atarius Maximus Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 HaHa... I did that Defender Vector hack in about 10 minutes several months ago, I have no idea what I did to compile it at the wrong size. Thanks for fixing it, Nukey. Hahaha! He got a bit carried away adding mountians! See above. I made some changes, recompiled, and posted...didn't give it much thought. You can never have too many mountains, though, right?

Nukey Shay Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Probably didn't have an ORG statement near the end...so Dasm could warn you that you are going over the 4k limit (Dasm can compile code for other machines as well...so it will just chug merrily along no matter how many extra bytes you had). There were 3 very tall mountians made (exactly 12 bytes)...I guess that you just forgot to erase them when adding new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_of_Gas Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 A Very Sweet hak indeed. Any plans on a cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 Why do you use Stella in the first place? Doesn't the sound suck? Screenshots, baby, screenshots. Otherwise I use z26 for all my emu needs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
