Berzek for C64
Hello... I recently recieved assembler source code for Berzerk video game. I was told that I would have to use CCS65 to compile it. However, I am quickly realizing that I have no idea how to do this in CCS65. Can some one help me our compile this for me with CCS65 if I sent the source code? All help is appreciated, I'd love to get a port of this classic on the C64.

The charset is in rom 5c-5 but it is nine pixels high. :) Not a surprise considering how the arcade's hardware works.

Glad you like it Marauder. I was a bit hesitant making a true conversion to begin with because I wasn't sure how people would accept the simplistic graphics. But of course game play and nostalgia win in the end. ;)
I was playing the preview a bit last night and a thought came into my head that the scoring mechanism might possibly be better with something like a "shot bonus", I'll explain. At the moment each robot is 50 points. However lets say I shoot one robot and then without missing with my next show I kill another I could get a bonus of 10 points, so the second robot is 60 points. If I then kill a third robot without missing a shot I would get 70 points. Maybe the shot bonus can be capped at 100 points meaning that I have not missed a robot kill for 11 robots.
Do you all think that kind of score bonus would add something to the game? If yes I can add it.

sure I like it! well, better simplistic grafix and a nice gameplay then having stunning grafix and a bad game like it's often these days. I prefer the first one... nostalgia rulez!
The score-idea isn't bad, why not give it a try... and after finishing a level, the screen should move like the original (just watch the stern on youtube or so), hehe and a highscore table with 10 entries would be nice... :)
did you read that about Berzerk - arcade-history? guess so...
anway, your conversion definitly rocks! |

Quote: V0.4 is now a D64 with a hi-score saver. The 1541 disk routine is quite a lot of newish code so it'll need testing for a while.
The title screen also looks much better now. Thank you Zeldin. :)

May I be so bold as to suggest using tried and tested drive code?

what magervalp said :) i also strongly recommend aiming for a onefiled release, unless you want to see some halfassed "cracked" version =P |

I looked at it but I want to be able to have sprites, NMI samples and raster effects active while loading and that code breaks with any of those three active. ;)

i have ripped the charset and shrunk it to fit into 8 pixel height.... god its butt ugly (but imho fits the feeling of the whole thing quite well....) http://hitmen.c02.at/temp/berzerk.chr
its still in its original order, what order would you prefer? i'll fix some more pixels then too, and try to align it better.... is it a problem that it now uses all 8 pixels in height? (will look shitty if you print text in consecutive lines, else it wont matter much)
edit: apropos, did you rip the other gfx from the roms too or did you draw them with screenshots as reference? i could rip them aswell if not (maybe improves the anim of the humanoid? =P) |

Oooh cheers!
When I get home I'll post up the charset with the char ordering I'm using at the moment. Plus the sprites. I copied the sprites from the Mame version pixel by pixel so the humanoid sprite running animation is fixed now. :)
