Release id #81924 : Scramble 2010 preview
I've done a version of the preview with fallback kernal loading enabled - you can get it here
If the screen turns purple momentarily at startup it means the loader has fallen back to kernal loading.
I don't have the equipment to quickly transfer d64 images to various c64 setups, so i'd be happy if some of you could try this on your setups :)
Cheers!
P.S. When testing, don't throw any bombs... i know of one bug where i'm not properly handling any $01 changes |

It must become the bestest SEU in the world for having had a whopping 10 years development ;)
Eagerly waiting for it since 2009 |

One eagerly non-paying customer is good enough for me. Thanks iAN :) |

It's nearly done. I started work on this again last friday, inspired by the work done by Andreas on the Eye of the beholder port, and it's now at 90% finished instead of 50% finished :)
I'll be talking to Krill and Jammer soon, I suppose.

*BOAH*
Played this the very first time now.
This is a pure "AUGENWEIDE"(german)! Don't know the right word in english! Please finish this asap... <3
EDIT: What kind of graphic mode do you use? |

Eye candy? A feast for the eyes?
Comments on one of the previews mentions VSP, and it does look like a multicolour bitmap… Challenging timing when sprites cross the VSP area, nice work debugging that one, Mirage.

Yes, plain bitmap and VSP. The whole colourmem is fixed to mid-gray, though, so I don't have to copy that when it's time to switch double buffer.
WVL helped me with the 63-$dc04-cycle-timer-IRQ to make sure I could have the missiles cross the VSP area without messing up the critical timing.
Not sure if he came up with that method or if it had been around longer. |

Kjer and/or Bagder used the CIA clock slide 'trick' in Xplosion! (1989), so it's at least that old. |

Ofcourse I didn't invent it. I just helped Mirage with it. |

Just providing some historical perspective. I remember looking at the code of some Horizon demos (back in 1989) and coming across JMP ($DC03). I had no clue what was going on. Only relatively recently I could make sense of it, thanks to the internet.
Edit: And I would really like to see the finished project, remember seeing the preview many years ago, wowzers :) |
