Dunno about repositioning...but emulators don't like the collision detection.

Try this tho...the latest edit works in emulators (dunno about real hardware):

You're almost there (finished them all), Nukey. IIRC didn't Kool Aid Man do some funky repositioning that some Atari Jr's didn't like?


Anyhow keep up the good work. You should also consider putting all the latest versions of the roms into one zip file, and then attaching it to the first post of the thread. It would be very convenient.

I will convert all these to WAV once they're finished and I'll post them as Volume II... and yes, please DO put them all in one zip file so I can make the set complete from the first volume.

I still have a ways to go (to check all non-hack/pirate 4k roms)...but I can do that once finished.

Oink!
Due to the palette color change when making a PAL60 version, I dicovered that the wolf's line of breath became the same color as the background...which makes it look better IMO (i.e. less like a tongue shooting out when destroying bricks). So I hacked a change for the NTSC version as well.
Not much I can do about the sunset, tho (this is subtracted values to create the shifting color...which runs in order for NTSC but not for PAL). I just shifted it from blue to green instead.

Spider Fighter
This game doesn't really need a seperate PAL build (it's abstract enough anyway)...but I made one that has corrected fruit colors.

Nightmare:

Original game uses 272 visible scanlines. Timer reduction bumped that down to 264, and I cut the score font down 2 points to get it down to 262. An audio data table (called indirectly) exists on the last page extending all the way to the end of rom...which crashed the Supercharger. A sprite repositioning subroutine was placed just before it (between the font data and audio). Moving the subroutine elsewhere solves that problem.

No PAL version made.

Scuba Diver
Original game ran at 270 or 271 scanlines (fluctuating when turtles moved to the far right or when the player is inside the sunken ship). Timers were reduced to correct to a steady 262.

NTSC and PAL versions here:

Strategy X

Another jumpy game...displaying 266 scanlines when the logo is up, and losing 2 scanlines when it switches to the score. Pressing reset also messed up the timers (since it reinitialized all ram). All of these issues corrected for a steady 262 scanline display...but the lower portion of the screen still bumps around a bit.

NTSC and PAL60 versions:

Harbor Escape-
The last pirate game that I needed to do (only because it appears on the Stella CDs). NTSC, PAL and PAL60:

G.I.Joe

Original game uses near-identical repositioning routines near the end of ROM. 9 bytes were saved just by using a branch to jump from one to the other following those differences.

NTSC only


BTW from what I can see...Missile Control, Video Reflex, and Zoo Fun off the Stella CD should not crash the Supercharger...correct?

Marauder:
Timers adjusted for scanline correction (jitter between levels also removed). A duplicate data table existed at the end of rom, removed to clear the the hotspots.

Frankenstein's Monster & Fire Fighter
Some graphic glitches cleaned up in both. PAL is a little discolored (due to invalid values being used in NTSC), but the games play the same.

I lost track of this one:

Raft Rider - NTSC/PAL/PAL60

Scanlines have been corrected to 262/312..however, the ground may shift when crashing into stuff. I don't know how to fix that...but this should not garble the display (the scanline count remains constant).

Great work shay...!

I was thinking buying a Harmony card then I found this thread, It looks that with ALL the great work from shay It covers 99 percent of my favorite games...

I am using an old iRiver mp3 player (128 MB) as a source I have already about 120 games converted with lame to 320 bit rate (can I use lower ?)

where can I find a complete compatibility list for not modded supercharger ?

Thanks,

I.G

[Nukey Shay]

All of them are here IIRC ("all" meaning non-hack, pirate, or homebrew). I only did a few pirates, since they were on the SGANB CD. I can't recall if I missed any originals that are non-compatable. But I no longer have any free time to do them if there are.

[israelg]

OK,

Thanks again...!
