Trip_Cannon Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I haven't used MESS since a long time ago... I must be an idiot cause I can't get jack to work with it... Have they made it any easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I haven't used MESS since a long time ago... I must be an idiot cause I can't get jack to work with it... Have they made it any easier? Like making packages that auto search and put the files in the right place? Like having a master site that you don't have to go 15 other places first to get the bios for each system? Like actually auto checking the files and only showing stuff for the correct system? Um... ... ...NO In fact I have a weird 7800 bios that flags the emulator to think the 7800 won't run but it will, I get a warning that the game may not work properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted July 5, 2004 Author Share Posted July 5, 2004 I can't get this to work in MESS as well as it comes up as a .bin file and the other ones I have are .a78 files. I don't see what the big difference is but would renaming the file work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get it to work. Personally I think a fella ought to be given some kind of medal for being able to boot up his favorite game and system using MESS. Doing that much is half the battle, I'd say! But if you're intuitive and can figure out complicated programs with little to no documentation (there is documentation, but it won't help much), then by all means, try MESS for 7800 emulation. Otherwise, try a friendlier emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Oh I get MESS to run 7800 games just fine, but not that one. Any suggestions besides a diffrent emulator.... or what emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to need the rom in a78 format. Try this one out for size and see if it doesn't work better. impossible_mission__fixed___a78_signed_.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Ahhhh ....most thanks ...not that it'll matter much. So the fix is that there are no puzzle peices in the computers right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 So far as I can tell, that's the case. But then again I'm still trying to beat the game. I never got to play the game until recently through emulation. Started the C64 version and then found this apparently fixed rom for the 7800 version and I've been playing it now too. But as I mentioned before, I've never really been that good at the game. I'm assuming that, since I haven't really read the intructions for the game I may be just misunderstanding the objective overall. At any rate, yes. This is apparently the fixed rom.

Trip_Cannon Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 So you're playing the game with what? A CC2 or MESS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireTiger Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I can play with MESS now the file is the right type. The 7800 directions are at http://www.atariage.com/manual_thumbs.html...wareLabelID=729 I found all avaliable puzzle peices once .... on the 7800 ... but I like to give those nasty robots big hugs or at least handshakes so I don't usually get that far.
