Blockhead - get stuck in level 9

[vulture]

Hi moonlight49,

DamienD has also created an .ADF for "Blockhead II" that works on KS 1.3:



Note that the game runs on 2MB Chip RAM, but this .ADF has also been tested with the 1MB Chip & 1MB Fast RAM

File now in The Zone! Enjoy.

Thanks!

I tried mkick, prepared bootable disk for 1.3 in emulator, it works on UAE, but it doesn't start on real A500 saying that KS 1.x required. I'm running KS1.3 but it fixed for IDE boot, so custom kickstart. Do you know how can I grab ROM from real A500 (the next steps will be the same for mkick build)?

Heya moonlight49,

The "Blockhead" disk has been updated one last time...

The reason is this is as follows. Previously I had to "LHA" up the game EXE & trainer, then extract to RAM as it wouldn't fit on disk. If I crunched the game EXE, then the trainer wouldn't work at all

So had to do the above instead of crunching... but there was one small issue though... if the trainer is run from either hard drive or RAM, then the ingame key to skip levels i.e. <DEL>, didn't work

Tried everything under the sun to fix but no joy...

As per usual, I asked the main man ross to see if he could work out why. He did his magic / sorcery, the game EXE is now crunched, fits on disk (so no need to LHA anything up), and of course all trainer options work as intended ;-)

File now in The Zone! Enjoy

Thanks everyone.

To answer the question if level 30 is possible, it is. I didn't even take extra time. However I didn't go for all the secrets.
