JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) E-5 has been selected by oyamafamily, and it's the game Astroblast by Mattel. game picked to play by bigbee99. Important Note: If anyone cannot play a paddle controlled shooter, due to emulation, let me know in post or PM before the game starts! Astroblast controls much better/easier with a paddle then with a joystick... emulation may have paddle settings, but I never tested that before...

LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 New record, but the 300k still has to be conquered. 271,162 Oyamafamily, with this name I didn't imagine you're Brazilian too. Now I see you're form Curitiba, this is one beautiful city I must visit someday. Always hear Curitiba is one of the best cities to live in Brazil. I'm from Belo Horizonte and very happy to be in this site of the cyberspace's world. I'm glad to be another Brazilian "member" of the Atari 2600 HSC. But I'm not sure if there is a special member class 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I bought the cart the last time we played Astroblast. I never saw atari paddles. It seems cool. But, is it that bad to play kaboom or astroblast with the keyboared? I tried kaboom, never played it before, and the controls aren't smooth. Astroblast control looks fine to me. I'll try some stella configurations for paddles and test kaboom again. Stella, on my linux system, has these settings: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 345,932 !!!!!! That's probably my personal top score for this week. Comparing to 2007 HSC, this seems to be a very strong week at HSC. I'm glad to participate and looking foward for the next challenge.

+stephena Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 For the posts above referring to using Stella to play Astroblast with paddles. First of all, I wasn't aware that Astroblast uses paddles at all. Perhaps is only certain ROMs that do. Secondly, if you want to enable it in Stella, you have to go into Options -> Game Properties -> Controller and actually change the controller type to Paddles. Without this, it won't matter if you've plugged in real paddles with a Stelladaptor; Stella still thinks that Astroblast uses joysticks and acts accordingly. EDIT: OK, I just looked at the Astroblast manual, and it seems that paddles do work, but only paddle 1, not paddle 0. To set up Stella for this, do the following: Install latest Stella (3.6) Start the ROM Go to Options -> Input Settings -> Devices & Ports Select "Use mouse as controller" -> "By ROM" and then click OK Go to Options -> Game Properties -> Controller For 'P0 Controller', select "Paddles" in "left port" For "Mouse axis mode", select "Specific Axis" Finally, for "X-axis", select "Paddle 1" Click OK to all dialogs, then reload the ROM It seems like a lot, but it's only about 30 seconds or so. And the settings will be saved, so you won't have to enter them again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my A7800s are out being repaired/video modded, so I will be needing my Stelladaptor/paddles to work. Otherwise, this coming week could be my last.
