kenfused Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 A couple of people requested this one. I dont guarantee I have the fire button handling correctly on a real 5200, so lets give it a try.

CPUWIZ Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Buttons work but the graphics underneith the CBS logo (horizontal line of garbage) are screwed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Buttons work but the graphics underneith the CBS logo (horizontal line of garbage) are screwed up. hmmm. looks fine on on emulator. Maybe a DLI taking too much time on the 5200? Does it play? Does the playfield look ok.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Probably. Yes. Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Man.. I've tried to figure out why Atari800Win+ is so forgiving when emulating the 5200, and so accurate when emulating the A8. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 by the way. Which button does what is determined by which button you press to start the game. One button will cause pulling back to activate shields. The other button used to start the game, will cause it to fire and the other button to activate shields (by other button I mean upper vs. lower). The game already seemed to have support on the 8-bit for using a second button and I tried to keep it intact if I didn't break anything in the process.

CPUWIZ Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Upper = Trigger / Fire Lower = Shield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenfused Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 This should fix the garbage line (which was showing up blank on Atari800Win Plus) (new version in later message) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 I think I have found the cause of the crash on the title screen (and potentially in all other of my ports from Preppie on -- not DK and DK jr). It will occur usually if the game goes into attract mode for a while due to a missing ldx #0 intructiion before callling a subroutine to process a pokey countdown timer (only needed by Preppie but code is probably still enabled on most later ports). Testing fixed version now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Pretty good adaptation. Should have appeared on the 5200 during its heyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfused Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 new version that hopefully will not crash after a while on the title. stnh5200.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 kenfused, I read your file in the zip about reading the 5200 keyboard. You might want to jump over to the ATTENTION PAM PROGRAMMERS (and fans!) thread and check out the documents Curt posted. They might help. BTW, great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
