Rybags Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 And to think, Spectrum owners in the UK used to continuously argue with C64 owners over who had the better machine. Fat chance of wiinning such an argument with a piece of crap like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat chance of wiinning such an argument with a piece of crap like that. I also think that way... There are Games and Games!... DEATH CHASE it's better if in Hi-Resoution... SABOTEUR also. But going this way and always count with XXL doesn't seems the best option. Or maybe having a ZX Emulator optimized with that old PMs. colouring that never got anywhere... or XXL does the Emulator (now me wanting XXL to do more , but if anyone asks for him then I am also 'son of God'!...

Heaven/TQA Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 how many hardware sprites does Bubble Bobble use on the c64? the bubbles are soft sprites and the bonus stuff are chars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 A8 have the BUBBLE BOBBLE start/base of code by Tezz. I think he will re-starts it when he finish all the Things he have in Hands... MANIC-MINER, CHIMERA,... (PAC-MANIA help on sprites ) and I think he will get this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Not sure on the C64 version. I know one thing... it'd be a good candidate for some VBXE conversion action. xxl's stuff... I don't think much of it is emulation (if any) - I asked him before and he just takes blocks of the Z80 code and converts to 6502 by hand... pretty hardcore stuff.

José Pereira Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Avram Excellent news about Bubble Bobble! So how about some work-in-progress screenshots.. Well, as requested in the 3D thread, here's some WIP screenshots on Bubble Bobble. It's a bit early in it's development but now that it's been mentioned, here's some shots for you all. What I want to achive is as close to the arcade version as possible (although with the C64 title music) The music is of course WIP too but let me know what you think of it so far. I'm determined to finish this project and not leave it half finished. Any help would be apreciated though !! First Post of this Thread. It's not C64 conversion of Gfxs. I wasn't even 'alive here' you guys are getting older BUBBLE BOBBLE on A8 'The Begining...' Edited June 27, 2011 by José Pereira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosty Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Is this project still alive? I'm looking for a good game for my hardware tests, and BB looks perfect for this... http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/202347-nostys-tomek-cartridge-for-8-bit-atari-great/page__st__25#entry2605112 But I don't want to reproduce Tezz's work. Animation is not a problem for me, but the game's rules seems very complex (many monsters and items) I can't find any source code nor map's source. BB was ported for almost ANY system except Atari XL/XE. Shame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sack-c0s Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 can't the C64 version be fed through IDA to get the logic and map data, and use that to drive custom Atari display code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Hi Nosty, no it's not dead per se but it was put aside with the intention of returning back to it after completing the other games. BB's is the largest single project I've considered undertaking. You're not wrong about it's complexity, there's several things (some subtle, some not so) that most conversions missed and/or didn't quite reproduce correctly from the original. Although saying that they did a very good job over all to get the game out under the usual constraints and commercial deadlines that us homebrewers have the luxury of avoiding I'm coming to the end of some projects now and I'd be happy to work on BB as a team effort if anyone is interested. That proof of concept is intriguing, I've not heard about it, do you know who was behind it? Both Vega and NRV did poc's many years ago but I've not seen this one. EDIT> I didn't look earlier which thread that yt link was in, yes absolutely it would definately benefit taking advantage of the new carts features! I'd be very interested in it.

nosty Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thank you Tezz! So I don't start works on BB. I'll let you know when my cartridge is ready for developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yautja Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Will this game finally see the light of the day in 2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Bump! This looks awesome! I wanted to do a Bubble Bobble port for the Atari Lynx. I've sent you a PM, basically just curious if you've done it in ASM or C or what? The Lynx screen size will be a challenge, and i've already got 1 title that I am actively working on, with 2 more in the pipeline but I might do a Lynx version of Bubble Bobble at some point. Originally I intended to disassemble the NES version and port the code directly to the Lynx, with changes to accommodate interrupts, screen size, sound, palette, graphics, input etc. Works out easier to just write from scratch lol. Keep up the great work =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Such a great game, it's a shame this project didn't get finished. It would be a lot of work for one coder though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
