Unofficial CD32 conversions project - Page 20

@earok and all others. The reason for asking for a Unofficial CD32 conversion of Tetris, well you all can read this on Wikipedia and see for yourself. Take a note of the date and year.

Hi, earok, long time no see

I've not even thought that you made so much projects for this time. Great job, man.

Recently tried Bombeman Collection - in Dyna Blaster still can't blow remote controlled bombs

It's possible to map this function on gamepad?

About Cannon Fodder Collection - is there any slaves that can provide joypad only contols for Cannon Fodder 2 and addons?

Next - Alien Breed Collection. Tried Killing Ground, and the game gives me a message "If playing from disk, please insert levels disk in drive... press mouse button when ready... bla-bla". Tried Alien Breed 3D - game didn't load and bring me back at main screen of compilation. Same with Tower Assault.

Hi Blaze, welcome back.

Re: Dynablaster, there doesn't appear to be any way to activate the remote bomb without a keyboard at the moment. I'll leave a request on the Mantis page for the WHDLoad slave.

Re: Cannon Fodder, unfortunately not. My recommendation would be either to look into getting an Amiga mouse or the PSX to DB9 adapter (http://www.kipper2k.com/PSX-Adapter.pdf), which will let you use the thumbstick on a regular PS2 controller as a mouse.

Re: Alien Breed. Use a pad in the other port to get past the levels disk screen. Not sure what the issue with the other games is though :S it could be a random glitch, have you left the console off for a few minutes before trying again?

Too late. I packed my console and brought it back in my locker

Anyway i have official standalone releases of Tower Assault and Alien Breed 3D for CD32 on CD-R. If my memory serves me right, Alien Breed 3D is almost unplayable on CD32 because of terrible framerate.

earok · 27 October 2014, 21:46

That's unfortunately true, and true of most first person shooters on CD32. I think it helps a little if you turn the floor and ceiling textures off but not much.

IMO Gloom is by far the best FPS for playing on a stock CD32.

Great work, earok!

I love your releases, unfortunately my cd32 blew away...
...still playing 'em on fs-uae.

Naturally we're going to look at adding the NVRAM save feature to other games too

http://unofficial-cd32-ports.blogspo...reathless.html

Any more news or updates about games with NVRAM save feature?

Still working on it. As soon as we work out something usable and reliable, you will know,

@ziovax cheers. Sorry to hear about your cd32!

Ditto. @random1122 are there any games in particular you'd like to see with NVRam save support? Not every game is doable (we've only got 1kb to work with, so Flight of the Amazon Queen for example we can't do anything with the 40kb or so save files the game produces) but we can certainly look at it.

FOL · 28 October 2014, 16:17

Basically, it should work exactly like real saving aslong as you can get file into NV. It will be erased if something bigger comes along (unless ofcourse you lock it).

ransom1122 · 28 October 2014, 21:03

I was just generally asking as it was mentioned by FOL earlier on. Good luck with it..

Ebster · 29 October 2014, 21:10

is it only me or does worms cd32 version of the collection crash when started in german language? any chance for a fix?

thanks in advance, earok & the others involved.

(you made me actually buy a new laser printer, 50 cdr-r's, a lot of dvd-cases etc. etc. FOR REAL!)

earok · 29 October 2014, 21:44

Hi Ebster, where does it crash? (When it tries to load the menu screen, Worms CD32, Worms DC, or anywhere else?)

Ebster · 29 October 2014, 21:59

i select "deutsch", then "game start", "friendly", select two teams and then "game start", screen fades black and drive/power led's start blinking immediately. reset.

EDIT: it's the standart cd32 version

i have burnt two cd's - always the same issue. english and french work fine.

earok · 30 October 2014, 05:18

Ah ok, I'll investigate it soon (doing a major patch for one of the other releases right now)

Michael Sykes · 30 October 2014, 23:54

Wow that goes on and on.
Feels like we had more CD32 games released, this year, than in the systems best times.
