Bonjour, J'ai reçu une cartouche custom pour profiter du jeu sur une vrai GX4000 mais le vendeur ne m'a jamais répondu sur la version de la rom. Il y a moyen de connaitre la version du jeu ingame?
Non c’est une version qui cependant connait de nombreux bugs sur les armes et sur des easters egg qui sont inaccessibles.
Et vu que gens se servent du jeu pour se faire de l’argent et d’autre ont le culot de réclamer une version avec le déboggage en question, il n’y aura donc plus aucune mise a jour futur, même si a ce jour le bug de l’Alkorak est résolut et de petit golgoth ajouté in game.
Et ce sera également la dernière fois que je produirai un jeu gratuit License ou pas.
Voilà tu sais tout, même ce que tu n’as pas demandé ;)
Mince, je suis navré d'apprendre ça. Je ne pensais pas mal faire. La carte que j'ai acheté ne doit pas rapporter beaucoup au vendeur, il vend surtout la pcb à 16€. Je n'ai pas les moyen technique de fabriquer une cartouche et je voulais absolument jouer sur GX4000 et pas en emulateur pour profiter completement de ton jeu sur le matos original.
Very good shooter with incredibly good graphics and smooth scrolling for this machine. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 02:47:24. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
C'mon people, do not blame the author of the game for inaccurate emulators! The game works on real machine, file bug reports to emulator authors. Great game, thank you for publishing it!
Allow me to elaborate :
sorry i didnt see the emu you linked there but i get different results, the flashing in the sideborders remains so i'll assume thats on purpose tho not sure if its supposed to be only a few scanlines or if the intent was to flash the whole border, that persists on both emulators , it wont run on a mister so i cant test and i definitely dont have a real machine.
On the java emulator my ship looks like the one in the screenshots to the side here, on the emulator you linked it looks different.
On the java emulator i dont have sound, on the one you linked my bullets look different (lol) ... goldorak is pure nostalgia to me from when i was a real little kid (even smaller than the guy in the picture) so i cant help but like it but im hoping this isnt "the final version" yet ...
also if i put the java emu on gx4000 the joystick wont work and i cant get past the title screen ...
fyi
(o : i definitely like your style, shame theres no mister core to feel the real thing :: -- thanks for the assets btw who know we get a jaguar port by 2030)
Hello :) border flashing display when your ship take damage, it's normal. I don't know about Java emulator, I make tests on the original machine. The ship in the last preview is when you have finished the game, you can play it again with the Alcorak. Well I don't know about java emu but it doesn't work very well ? There are manyother emulator like WinAPE, ACEDL, SugarBox or RVM, you may try with these ones.
i will, thanks , and thanks for the fast reply . You put up literally all media assets for the game on Amstradmuseum, does that mean you are inviting ppl to port your game to their platforms ?
Nice game!
thank you :) did you see that you could use fire B to select the weapon you have bought ?
