I can create a A500 version. It works with an A1200 board inside the A500 casing, 4MB fast and a CF card

This must be that French humor that I never quite understand

I get the humour and as an AGA Amiga convert from the ST I agree with the sentiment. In summary, the game already works on AGA compatible A500s including THEA500 Mini!

hi Muzza

THANKS! fantastic, wonderful

played with a friend of mine the past few days, beautiful It works very well in all our AGA amigas, the only problem we encountered in level number 4 (the first with the spaceship) and level number 6 (the third and last with the spaceship) where the video keeps moving from the right on the left, using the SiDi FPGA (it has the latest firmware and latest Amiga core version), if we send you a video, is there any possibility to find a fix?

Well... if this problem isn't present in real Amigas, then it's the FPGA core that needs a fix, right?

[Muzza]

Yes the FPGA core needs a fix.
Even if I had the hardware to test myself, it is unlikely I could work around bugs in the system like this. You need to press the authors to fix it. The Vampire V4 had similar problems but there has been a core update to fix it.

[DanyPPC]

I played the ship level on my MiST with latest minimig AGA core without problems.

What kind of problem with SiDi ?

@Thread

Has anyone had the problem with the save states not working properly on THEA500 Mini Pal version of the game? I've had to resort to playing the game through Pandory but it feel much slower with music slowdown, some graphics glitches and messed up controls compared to the 'optismised' RGL Carousel way of playing (after amending the games database file).

I'm only playing it through Pandory because it means that I can use the retroarch save state system rather than the buggy RGL one and make progress with my limited free time! This is the only game that I have issues with on the RGL Carousel for save states!

Just played it all the way through on normal difficulty after completing it on easy and loved every minute of it again. It’s gorgeous. It’s amazing. It’s bloody brilliant.

Love it.

Is there a way to configure the system settings in pandory?
You need to turn immediate blits on, fast copper on, and sprites/playfield collision off. I don't understand why the Carousel version has two configurations that overlap each other but here are the most important settings:

From the UAE file:
blitter_cycle_exact=false
immediate_blits=true
waiting_blits=disabled
fast_copper=true
cycle_exact=false

From the XML file:
FAST_COPPER=TRUE
BLITTER=IMMEDIATE
SPRITES=NONE

Still considering implementing my own saved games for the update which would hopefully fix your problem.

[john4p]

Sounds like perfection now. Can't wait to play this at the weekend.

Thank you for the update What does New Game+ do?

It is a mode where the game never ends. Completing the game returns you to the first level, with all your lives carrying over. But, the game gets harder on each round. You play until you run out of lives. Hardcore players only I think.

Sounds good Harder meaning faster enemies with more health or even more enemies?

It alternates between increasing enemy health, and decreasing player health.

Thank you for the answer
