Christos, try it on a RGB monitor (50Hz!) - if you got one, that is.
It might just make the difference with your score...

I appreciate you don't really do requests, but I thought I'd post my updated want list anyway (I've removed these from earlier posts to avoid duplication)

Eliminator (Hewson)
Oids (FTL)
Slayer (Hewson)
Thrust
Stardust (Bloodhouse/Aggression)
Magic Boy
James Pond
Skweek
Sabotage (I believe SHW has already filed this one...)
Jim Power
Rubicon
Exile
Zero-5

These are the games currently in my diskbox that I'd like to eventually see on HD.

Note for non-Falcon users...  The Superior cracks of Magic Boy and Exile run from HD (well RAMdisk actually - you don't need their FFLS disk driver for these) with no probs on a 2MB+ Atari.  Google for 'Atari Superior Disks' and you'll find a list of contents, then go to PlanetEMU for the disk images you want.

Some of the others work too, but you'll need to install the FFLS driver for them, and I don't like that so I'll patiently wait for a DBug crack.

The crack of Magic Boy I have here isn't filed (IIRC)...  I do generally try copying files over to HD before posting requests here ya know

Oh - and I found a load of game manuals last night (as text files).  Most of your patches here are covered (1st Samurai, Awesome, Devious Designs, and many others) - do you want me to email them over?  They are typed by various people, but I don't see the problem with including them in your game zips... Could help a few people out there who (like me) haven't played some of these games before.

OK - will do tonight.

Just so you know the source...  I did a search on LemonAmiga for game entries with manuals that came out on the ST & Amiga.  There's pages of matches there, and I think about 75% of your patches have docs.

Have a happy easter, and I'll probably speak to you again on MSN next week.  I'll email the docs over to your Dbug address.

More double requests

Definitely

• Oids
• Captive
• Dungeon Master - yes I know there is a 'HD' version of this but it's a pain in the butt to run - easier going off floppy ... hmm on second thought let me check the AL version.
• Cosmic Pirate

Now I just have to put a new clock in my Falcon ....

cheers

(12 hours later...)

I still think that if you've managed to half-fix a game so it runs fine from HD on an ST/STE but *can't* falcon fix it then you should still release it (for people like me who don't have falcons)...  Perhaps under a WIP heading on the list page?

Oh, and is there any chance of getting No Second Prize to save data to a floppy disk?

Sorry for being an annoying requester!

Oids rules BTW...

Well, if we did a "HD but not Falcon" page, it would have instantly (I'd guess at) around 40-50 titles on it.

The problem with such a page is that once something is gets a "release" from us, we tend to forget about it and move on. I'll talk with the others and we will see what comes of that.

As for the Goldrunner original - 100% not needed, its on an early Was Not Was menu as a single part file. Should be a simple fix. Unless the Falcon gets in the way of course.

Yeah, the same could be said with Sabotage. 100% HD now , just need to fix some 030 bits (sample player)

Shw

Ahh, damn Falcon!

Thanks for the Infos and i wish you good luck with all your troubles with those games.
But i know you are the best there is, so there will surely be a release sooner or later!

Good point, all censored words are now wiped, people can fucking cuss away now

So, 2 out of 3 games passed the quality test in the end

*Cough* International Karate + *Cough*

Which I have all-TOS fixed (Including TOS 4.x) and is in my WIP folder awaiting cleaning up for Falcon before release (It runs, but the screen is a bit messed up)

Hello folks,

I'd love to see twinworld made HD version It's one of the best ST title out there !

Please ??

PS : The viking child too is a good pretendant to be 'HD made'

Thank you !

Ok I'll start work on Viking Child (other ULSers take note),

I ripped the music from Twinworld recently, so I'm aware of the game code so I might do this one too.

DGen - SHW
Viking Child - SHW
Twinword - SHW

D-Buggers, perhaps we should create an internal thread similar to the advent calendar with stuff we're working on, to avoid duplication.
