[WIP] King & Balloon conversion

[DanyPPC]

Tested successfully on:

- WinUAE 040/Jit OS 3.9
- Amiga 1200/030 OS 3.2
- Amiga 1200/060/PPC OS 3.9
- MiST Minimig AGA core OS 3.2

It doesn't work on Apollo V4SA, like Frogger 500.

Tested successfully too on My :

- A500 Rev.6A (512+512) and a ACA500Plus 68000 @28MHz 7MB Fast OS HYP. 3.1.4.1
- A1200 GVP A1230 Turbo+II 68030 @40 Mhz 32 MB Fast OS HYP. 3.1.4.1

There will be a different solution for the problem

[Seiya]

one things about version:
ADF version in itchio is indicated 0.9, but in the game is 0.8
WHDLoad version is corrected (0.9)

[jotd]

Too many unfinished projects. If HOL had an entry for each of them it would be a mess.

That one will be completed for sure!

@JoeJoe

Great job! Looks promising!

[jotd]

Tested it on the real machine and got access fault after a while (whdload).

Too bad as it seemed smooth and super playable. I recognized the same swarm sound loop as Galaxian. They really didn't bother with sfx

[JoeJoe]

I ripped every SFX from MAME and converted it with Audacity to finally create the samples in ProTracker.

Same here with a Blizzard 1260

The droning sound loop probably changes frequency like in Galaxian. I've handled that by using the same sample, but with different length parameters depending on the phase of the game. It's not perfect as it clicks and length should be adjusted on zeroes.

I'll get hold of the exact error if you're interested.

[JoeJoe]

I'm interested in errors.

Is the demo available for download?

[jotd]

yes on https://rmjoejoe.itch.io/kingandballoon500

[Retroplay]

There doesn't seem to be a download link there, not anymore.
v0.9 used to be there, though.

Unless, it requires logging in to itch, Idk.

[ransom1122]

logged in but still no link, i did have the old previous link

[JoeJoe]

First of all, I have to apologize for this. I'm currently having big problems with the SFX. The code looks clean and good, but unfortunately the result is not satisfactory. The last debugging sessions were unfortunately unsuccessful. And I can't find this sporadic bug!!
I don't want to release this version. The QM department didn't do its job, oh well, that's me.

NOCACHE and EXPCHIP tooltypes don't make a difference.

[JoeJoe]

I have just released a new beta v0.92. I hope most of the bugs are now fixed.
I am also happy to receive error logs.

[DanyPPC]

Thanks JoeJoe, time to test.
