Shawn Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Why don't they post more pics of the game and the proto? Or made a video of the game in action? I suppose the owner really doesn't care either way if it sells or not so why would they right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Again, I would invest in this project the full amount, I would just like the str8 info. I mean, the man who owns it says its glitches and not complete. In fact he said he KNEW it wasnt complete. My heart wants to believe John Hardie, my wallet wants to believe Joe. Is it possible Joe at DP doesnt know what he has? CV Thought John was the one who owned it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 it's complete!! OMFG!! I need this game!! Not want, NEED!! Now where the hell do I get $5k from? Doubt I can There's no way that game was complete. It was close but it definetly had some graphic glitches. Allan Say it ain't so, Joe. I got really excited when it was stated the game was 100% complete. We need you to sit down and play the game for a couple hours. Then let us know. You never know when someone here may have nothing better to do than buy and release prototypes. (someone, please please please.) Legalwise, we should not have a problem with the name. If we have to change it, why not "MIA". The movie is called "Missing in Action." If there are still name problems why not "MIA/POW"? Missing In Action is the title and so it should be. I would really like to get a fund going to buy this cart. I have some money to start it off, anyone else in to start this build up to $5k? Hi Shawn i would pay some money in a fund too.So let me know.If Bruce can dump it,we should try to buy it.I would invest 200 bucks. greetings Walter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaData Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 If this is the best they could do with a side scrolling beat 'em up, maybe MIA is better left missing.

That's a horrible example of Double Dragon. It looks better than that! Well, you tend to get horrible screenshots from horrible games. Perhaps there's a Nintendo forum out there somewhere with good looking screenshots of the NES port. I've got a TV capture card in this computer. Perhaps I can grab some screenshots for the database. huh...that didn't work out quite right... I guess it won't take still screen shots, then. I don't have a lot of money, but I can commit some. If someone's interested in collecting the funds, I need to know who that is and I'll send 'em what I can.

Well, those screenshots came straight out of an emulator, so unless there is something "off" about the emulation of Double Dragon, they should be fairly representative of the game. That's not to say that better shots couldn't be taken, but I doubt they get much better than what's in the database. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) I think you're right, Al. Those are decent shots. I wanted to get the Volkswagen picture in one of them, but Windows is not able to do screen captures correctly when the TV tuner is running. Besides, the picture was pretty dark. A freind of mine had this same problem with his computer and a different game system. Anyway, I don't wanna go too far off topic. Chuck Norris might be watching.

TheRedEye Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I like Joe, and I like CGE and want it to have money, but holy hell I hope no one buys this for $5k and ups the ante on unreleased games. Prices are retarded as it is, I really don't need someone pointing to some stupid chuck norris game and saying "well THAT one sold for $5,000, so mine is worth that much too!"

The color palette has not changed in MESS for the Atari 7800 since it was added as a playable supported system. If you want colors that come closer to what an actual Atari 7800 produces, you could try what I did. Use the Prosystem emulator. First load a rom, then import a palette, and finally take the screenshot. The Prosystem emulator supports external palettes with the catch that it resorts back to the internal palette (Which appears to be the same as MESS), once a rom is loaded. Hence, the instructions to load a rom first, then import the palette. The palette I use is the one taking from Stella. A much closer representation of what the Atari 7800 displays in terms of hues/tints. I'm attaching it to this post. -Trebor new_stella_NTSC.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to export any frame from a captured video as a .BMP file. Other editing programs might have a similar feature. I've noticed that I also get a dark picture when I hook game systems up to my capture card, unless I use an S-Video connection. It seems to make a world of difference when viewing on a computer monitor. Unfortunately that's not an option with the 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 So are the DP forums back up? I had a question for Joe the other day and after reading this thread I have 2-3 more, but the boards were "down for maintenance." I'm wondering how serious he is about $5K - it would be impossible to make an investment back on repros at that price but if it was negotiable then anything's possible at a more reasonable amount.

jpfalcon2003 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 I would chip in also on funding on this game too if someone starts collecting. I would definitely love to see a completed version of this game in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing carts of the game would be the goal. At least in my view of what should be done with this cart. I want everyone that wants to play MIA to be able to for a reasonable price.
