B.C. Kid new slave (beta)

[jotd]

Can people test my B.C. Kid update?

The game is super hard and super long. I have added trainer/level skip/level select/68k quitkey but there are sometimes strange effects, so I'd like your input.

Good progress on your slave.

On a similar note, I was working on a megatrainer for the floppy version and there isn't much free RAM to do much for 512KB systems. I need to implement a different level skipper logic to do this.

I played some time until end of game while sometimes using level skip and didn`t noticed strange effects on my A1200 040 with WHDLoad 18.3.

Did you see the end sequence? because skipping the last boss seems to lockup. maybe it's not possible to skip the last boss;

@demoniac: levelskipper is quite simple. add 1 to $644.W and write "DONE" to $636.L

I'm working on a better skip, because currently it skips too much at a time.

Yes, I reached end sequence by defeat end boss (no skip used here).

If I start the game with level "Ending" then an access fault happens. Access Fault happens also when last boss is skiped. If you need the access fault output, please let me know.

@daxb: I disabled the level skip on last boss because it crashed. Slave sent to whdload page. Thanks for your testing. Such a tough game!!

Actually, this is the problem -- that code will skip menus and bonus levels. I'll PM you my code.

Hello, i tried to use your new slave. basically, there is a disk access not removed. Once installed on hard drive, my A1200 tries to access the floppy drive, and everything gets stuck.

Whats the custom= to get unlimited lives?

[jotd]

CUSTOM2=1 or set number of lives with CUSTOM3

[Shatterhand]

You really found this long and hard? I don't remember it being long, and I remember it being actually very much on the easy side. I remember the boss rush before the last boss being a really cheap way to make the game longer and a lot annoying but ,other than that, I remember finishing this game without much effort. Yet a very nice game.

But good job on the new slave, always good to see slaves being updated

I thought it was just cd32load not liking it, but adding CUSTOM2=1 to whdload after the factor 5 logo the screen goes black and you get white flickering of im guessing parts of sprites or something but either way its not working with that.
