+therealbountybob Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 OK Folks I've found an XEX version of Desmond's Dungeon that works (well level 11 does!) the kiddie is on atarionline.pl - a great site for keeping all versions and hacks of games - the working one is .XEX (V4) and has "English Software" on the title screen. Also this ATR may be ok! So here's what we'll do - the round will be extended until Tuesday 13th 10am GMT. Places decided on scores as normal. To bag a 1pt bonus (sorry no gold) for the *highest level* reached Start the (v4) game on level 8 (select from title screen) *unless there is another problem level Re the LEVEL 1 BONUS point: Can an NTSC player see if they can get near my 3,010 for level 1 (dungeon & vault) in one man. I did it without getting hit, I think; or maybe once? I'm wondering if the timer means PAL players can score more? The next game will still start on Sunday so Vote Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Way to go Orpheuswaking! I've been testing your .CAS Alternative Software file, and made it to level 12 from dungeon 8 (although it looks like trbb beat me by just a hair..he must have been a busy beaver going through all those atarionline.pl files ) I also did it the old fashioned way (from dungeon 1) and squeaked into Vault 11--boy, it's a real b!t$h . I'll be needing a new custom cart now with the "good" ROM so I can play this on the XEGS...where are you kjmann Starting from 8: 26,730 dungeon 12! from dungeon 1: 76,890 vault 11 Edited March 9, 2012 by atariron82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Wait, so the .CAS level 11 works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Wait, so the .CAS level 11 works? ...like a charm! My pics above are from the .CAS ROM using A800Win+. There is no lv 11 bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 If we all want another week of DD and a do over with the scoring just post - we can still run the next round I'm in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 NOOOOO!!! I don't have time to start over Glad the five minutes I spent making the .CAS wasn't wasted... Although I don't see how they can all be "identical" if that doesnt have the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK we'll stick to TUESDAY morning deadline and make the game straight on points (makes my life easier!). Bonuses for the highest level (you can start on level 8 for this) and level 1 (both screens) in one manstill stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer320i Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Can't seem to get into this one, never grabbed me first time round...anyway, 10,190 for what its worth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Can't seem to get into this one, never grabbed me first time round...anyway, 10,190 for what its worth! ...about 2pts so far Gotta be in the right mood for DD, once you master not getting hit by luring the bomb, hiding in the rooms you've opened from the spiders, watching your head and deliberately dropping bags when you have a long run so if you get hit you don't have to go right back down then the game plays nicely, gets more fun after a few levels so have a crack at the high level bonus Vote for Round 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next game will still start on Sunday so Vote Here I was wondering how you'd managed to get 3k plus on the 1st level. The timer starts at 150 in the version I was playing (Thorn EMI?), this version starts at 200! I guess Orph was playing the same version as me as I couldn't get much more than about 2200 either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
