plee Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I started this last year, but with a new baby it has pretty much sat and collected dust. So I decide to release what I have done and hopefully I can get back and finish it...

plee Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 5200 Version Really don't remember how far along I got with the 5200 version but I know I needed to add trakball support and no individual base support instead the closest base/turret will fire...so consider this a work in progress that I hope to start on again soon - Paul 5200missile.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 WHOO! Add keypad support and it'll be the best dang Missile Command ever. ... Provided the analog sticks still work like in the official 5200 version. I don't have a trackball yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided the analog sticks still work like in the official 5200 version. I don't have a trackball yet. Here's some ideas I played with: Having the controller sideways and having the stick on the right/left (selectable) and the top row be the bases/turrets (might be touch on those keypads ) Using each one of the triggers for the bases/turrets (kinda ackward...)

I had one problem. Using Sparta 3.3 it load fine. In Mydos 4.53 on the MyIDE interface, it just loads and gives me junk on the screen and redraws the Mydos menu. What is the difference with Mydos.

Atariboy2600 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Cool Hack! Well here's my take on the label for the 5200 cart on Missile Command Arcade Edtion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Great hack. It really makes you wonder why Atari 8-bit games so rarely included controller options (coming from an Apple II background, this made no sense to me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Can't get the 5200 version to run on the real thing. It keeps crashing, no matter how I store it in the eprom. (damn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(damn) 1013479[/snapback] Just curious... Where does the crash happen? Is it during the same spot? Which system are you using (2-port or 4-port)?

PacManPlus Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hey Dennis If I try just doubleing the bin (to 32K) it doesn't work at all. I expect that, because it's probably a 2 chip 16K setup (like Pac-Man). When I try doubling the first 8k, and then the last 8k (which works for Pac-Man) it crashes at the title screen, just as the first explosion starts. This also happens on the AtariMax USB 128 5200 Multi-Cart I have a 4 port system. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Today was the first time I played the 5200 version via emulation. How are you all playing this? I can't fire and the joystick movement seems to be digital and not analog I'm using Atari800WinPLus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just now really starting to get into 6502 Assembly programming on the Atari and I was wondering what tool(s) you used to reverse engineer the original? Also, releasing even a portion of the source code for your enhanced version would be great. It would be a great learning tool for people such as myself. Heck, I might even be able to contribute. -tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8isa1 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Paul has just released an A8 cartridge image (16K) of Missile Command+. Works great on both my 800 and 800XL. BTW, Paul's a great guy! I simply asked him if he was considering a cartridge version. A day and half later he had it knocked off! How nice is that? Here's the update. missile.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after making all the necessary changes got it to compile exactly like the 8bit dump. Then, started making all the hacks! Since I really don't have alot of time to make further changes (fix the 5200 version!), I'm gonna attach the current source code. My hope is that group/individual will continue this hack! (Just give me alittle credit ) Enjoy! - Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you got me to do some fun coding for a few minutes than looking/working with crappy code at work. - Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
