Apidya - Inaccessible bonus stage (Speed of Light) FOUND! - Page 6

Retro-Nerd · 25 February 2008, 16:34

There is currently a little paranoia in Germany, because a lot of lawyers here earns their money with warnings. Sad but true.

Retroplay · 25 February 2008, 18:15

Do you still need a test of v2.01 ?
I'm sorry but I haven't had the time to test it yet.

girv · 25 February 2008, 18:30

Yep I still need 2.01 and 2.03b1 tested for entry into the 2-2 and 4-2 bonus rounds as above. 2.01 with no invulnerability cheat; 2.03b1 with and without the invulnerability cheat. This is necessary to confirm what I think about the 4-2 bonus round.

Cheers

Could you ask Peter for demo/beta version of "Miss Honeybee" game?

girv · 26 February 2008, 16:19

What's the story with that game?

[edit: post number 700!]

I seen some screenshots only, but demo version or maybe even beta
version can exist, I think. This is unpublished/unfinished game from Kaiko.
Better ask Peter for more/full info. Maybe he can give you "Miss Honeybee"
source code?

Sorry for not posting back, but life's a bitch these days unfortunately.
My mum died a week ago and my dad is in hospital, so I'm left alone with all the stuff (court, funeral etc.) there has to be done under these circumstances.
So as you probably can understand, I've not been up to much these days.

girv · 08 March 2008, 20:49

No problem mate, sorry to hear about your bad times. It sucks now but they do pass.

Look forward to seeing you back in action!

In Retroplay's absence, can someone else step up and test the above please?

Something else has come up as well: has anyone experienced screen corruption on WinUAE like the attached screenshots? I've had one report of it but have been unable to reproduce it myself.

Shoonay · 09 March 2008, 13:36

Funny enough, I've missed this thread, being too occupied with cats, prolly...

Thanks you guys, awesome works you guys!
Girv, can I haz that above mentioned patch? It be not in TheZone! anymore...

girv · 09 March 2008, 13:51

2.03b3 slave in the Zone again.

Shoonay · 09 March 2008, 13:58

good one and thanks, will test it out

girv · 17 March 2008, 02:02

That is actually my cat in that picture, and my old monitor

Anyone had any success with testing?

Also, see this thread. One person is seeing screen corruption using WinUAE, but I can only reproduce it if I use his own configuration file, not even mine changed to match his settings. Weird!

MethodGit · 17 March 2008, 03:30

Always great to see hidden gems newly discovered after a long period of obscurity! Cheers for all your work, Girv.

Just one question..... is it still possible for ADF/IPF users to access this bonus stage somehow (say without using invulnerability)? Or would it have to be newly patched like with the WHDLoad version?

girv · 17 March 2008, 10:17

No, the stage should be accessible from the normal floppy/IPF/ADF game, provided you're not invulnerable or using an invulnerability trainer.

There is a small bug in the game where you can't enter the speed stage if your bee is flashing & invulnerable, like after you've just lost a life. Also, all the invulnerability trainers I've seen on crack ADFs make it impossible to enter the stage. These problems also apply to the 2-2 bonus stage.

The upcoming 2.03 release of the Apidya WHDLoad slave fixes the game bug and has an invulnerability trainer that still lets you enter the affected bonus stages when it's active.
