Re: Subcategories for Games

Added a few games to the "Platform" category. Would also have to enter the two "Software Projects" titles (i.e. "Manic Miner" & "Jet Set Willy"), based on the information from my original tapes. I should also be able to add a few more games in this category (such as "Hunchback" - only "The Bells" cu...

Re: Subcategories for Games

... Sometimes, I feel like, the deeper I get into this, the less I understand it! I created a "basic" page for "Beanstalker". After validating it, I discovered the description page was back!? :o No idea why it worked this way. But I'm glad the data is now back. [Edit] There's still one thing that re...

Re: Subcategories for Games

Wow you have been busy.... Yes... but I might have been a bit too busy as well. I tried to edit the list of publishers to re-list "Microvision" as "Micro Vision (Software)", which is how the company's name is listed on my copy of "Beanstalker". By doing so, I lost the link with the game (and I now ...

Re: Subcategories for Games

Ok, looks like I've been greatly improving today! I also created the "Simulation" category, then a "Platform" sub-category, with a definition retrieved from the Wiki entry (part of it). Please note that whatever I've been doing, or will be doing, in the Dragon Wiki is there for you to add to/amend, ...

Re: Subcategories for Games

Sorry, but I really don't get it. Just tried again with "3D Space Wars", i.e. moving it to a new "Arcade|Shoot'em up" genre by entering similar information as found in the entry for an adventure game. And it did not have any visible impact. I mean the game's individual page was updated: http://archi...

Re: XRoar 0.24 released

So far I've failed to reproduce this. So have I! My mistake: I was actually referring to Microdeal's "Rommel 3D", and not to the game from Design Design . Both games are very similar, as far as gameplay/graphics are concerned. But the former uses a PMODE4 display, and the latter, a PMODE3 one. So I...

Re: XRoar 0.24 released

Hang on, you have a problem playing it? ;) Yes I do. The game will run for a while, then will end up "freezing": this can happen after two minutes, or at the third game in a row. The emulation suddenly gets stuck on the current display (i.e. no crashing of XRoar). There's one thing, though: I could...

Re: XRoar 0.24 released

... so unless you hit the "won't load Rommel's Revenge" bug I rolled back before releasing this, there shouldn't be any specific need to upgrade if you have one of those. Thank you very much for this new release of yours! I didn't know about the issue with that game. So I've just tried to run it un...

Re: Subcategories for Games

I guess there are a few people who would be willing to help there... And you may count me in! As far as the categories are concerned, this would be fine with me, and I do believe there are enough standard genres to fit most of Dragon software. Fantastic - you should be able to Login to the Wiki wit...

Re: Loading binaries created by asm6809.pl

The "ORG" compiling directive may not be enough to get a proper result. You also need to use "PUT" most of the time. "ORG addr" will generate the executable code as if starting from memory location addr. This is mandatory in case the code is position dependant. And "PUT addr" will actually compile i...
