Shannon Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 I actually ran across a title that does not work properly. It is Fidget on disk 41. The poor little guys feet are missing.. it's a little hard to play when you can't see them. I just grabbed the version from Fandal's site and it works just fine.

pseudografx Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Nicely done conversions! Also replacing the sampled FX is a pity a but certainly better than the distorted sound resulting from use of RastaConverter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 4/26/2023 at 1:55 AM, jvas said: I suppose RastaConverter and RastaConverter + eXtended memory No, they both just require a 130XE to run. The RCX version has different backgrounds than the RC version, updated music, and more basic POKEY sound effects in place of the original sampled sounds. The RC version retains the original music, and the sampled sounds in their somewhat degraded form (due to higher processing requirements for the RasterConverter backgrounds). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Great updates and I am so glad Rastaconverter images were worked into both. With the compromises and tweaks it's all worth it. As an aside I'd love to see more RC used in games. It would work really well for a graphical adventure/interactive novel, and possibly part point and click controlled game, (where the smaller RC image used is kept separately at the top of the screen (as is the case here with IK+ RC and RCX), with text or point and click navigational controls lower half of screen. So nothing need pass over the RC image. Miker has done a great job with the synthesized replacement sound fx in RCX, (where I read and you'll recognise some of the player sound fx are identical to those used in sweity's Doom segment on the excellent Rewind demo last summer. (Read this on Atarionline.pl and sure enough I recognise it)). Whilst I love the original IK digitised sound, it still works here in RCX and I get why it was chosen. One thing, does anyone know if the bouncing balls bonus round made it into either RC or RCX? I've not had a chance to see. This is from the c64 and as a bonus round I always loved it on the ST when many balls were on screen and it got more tricky the more you deflected: C64 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a way to parse out all save times on all files sort and put them into one file updated once every 6 months or whenever to be shared among AA members. Even the best times for all Apple and C64 players. Race against them all. You are in 7th place behind Gung Ho Gunstar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contains eight fields you can compete against.

FujiNet's high-score feature could be used to do this. If someone takes the time to decode the fields' data, @tschak909 might be willing to implement a scraper which parses the sectors and puts the results onto his scoreboard server. As starting point for decoding: The "fields" start on sector 496 and each one contains eight sectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
