Exolon (Hewson)

[Dunny]

Spectrum version spanks all the others, as is the norm for Raf's games.

I tested in Winuae 5.0 and the A500 configuration and it works very well.

dlfrsilver, You could publish ATR dump from my disks. It was dump from new copy.



Exolon works from IPF written to disk but both original disk and copy show graphical garbage on my A500. This game does not like Kickstart 1.3 or fastRAM ?

Hi haynor666,

Only Official SPS 0015 give a correct graphical introduction on my A500 ECS PAL

I tried all IPF official or UnOfficial IPF(s) on my real A500 PAL Rev. 6A ECS 512k+512k (KS1.2 & K1.3).

All test were made in HFEv3 Files on my Gotek HXC With differents config :

KS 1.2 512k Only , KS1.2 512k+512k, KS1.3 512K Only, KS1.3 512k+512k

All with the same way ONLY SPS WILL GIVE YOU a correct introduction.

All files for thsi test are in The Zone

Best regards,

Pascal

Exolon Amiga is very shitty and picky about the configuration used.....

Regarding your ATR dump, can you redo it in kryoflux heavy format please ?
I'll push then the IPF set from it in the zone.

In the zone

this game likes only likes original chipset, don't like ECS agnus or AGA

so in other words will work with correct gfx only in the ancients A500s from 1987 and 1988 with the old Agnus, those who are PAL only or NTSC only

The CPC one is very good though, as well...

edit: sorry, didn't read the discussion on the last page...

[haynor666]

While Exolon might be good for CPC, C64 standards it's inferior on amiga, even for Atari ST.

Lack of scrolling (which I generally hate in games) and poor very limited palette combined with choppy movement - desaster.

Yes. But half..... the graphics on Amiga suggests the graphist came from the C64 world. No one coming from any other machine would have used such a depressive palette on a 16 bits machine.

[stx2199]

also this game lacks soundFX there is just such horrible music
even the hero walk like a duck

I give it 1/10 and I'm being generous, I would have to give it a 0
