There I was, wondering what had happened to the November fixpack...and instead D-Bug are releasing 25 games in December!  Really looking forward to seeing what the other days will be

Fantastic work as always guys!

hi,just clicked the news link and what a nice surprise i got

Opened my first pressie....but wont divulge on here What a fantastic idea!.....looking forward and have a merry christmas guys!

Nice  fun chiptune btw

X tra C L !! Thanks D-Bug !!...and joyfull Xmas to You All !!

Hold your horses there, the month has just started

The D-Bug engine is still running at full speed! I'm almost tempted to reveal the game list for you all, but I'm afraid that the others will kill me . We're all very excited because we have a beautiful line up of games (even we are astonished at their quality) and we're just as happy as you to see them playing on our 16/32 machines.

Place your bets now for the games you predict to see this month

And what a nice release Dec 4 is

Nope, it was here just in time

Escape from the planet of the robot monsters......what a great game! real good B-movie fun and the first time i have played it It really made me laugh

-PS.  Not had a chance to try it on real HW, but STEEM (4MB+TOS2.06) crashes and burns when you try to run the *game* intro (from the options in the cracktro).

Will report later if the same happens on my real STE (but won't have a chance to try till the weekend).

The game seems fine though.  It was one of my favourites when I was a young'un

Don't sweat it GGN - with all the top quality work you've been doing a few *minor* slip ups are bound to happen.  You D-Buggers are only human after all.  I have my doubts about CJ though... I hear rumours that he's some sort of cyborg cracking machine sent from the future to ressurect the Atari Falcon... 

Wow!  Golden Axe?!  This advent calendar is all-killer no-filler!    Superb.

Hi there,

Ok, my head was simply mashed last night, so I forgot to add any comments to the release. Firstly it doesn't work on my machine at all with cache on. Why is the option there then? Simply because if I took off the cache question then it refused to run on my TT! (yes, I must have assembled 20-30 versions last night to figure that out).

Try this: start with a cold boot (I'd disable NVDI too), then choose 16mhz, no cache. The most probable reason that it didn't work in that configuration in your machine is that you did a warm boot after trying the game with any configuration and then resetting. This all has to do with the TT compatibility I wrote above, maybe I will release 2 separate versions for Falcon and TT, because no matter how I tried to fix the game for one machine, for unknown (to me) reasons it failed on the other.

That's easy: I simply forgot to remove the cache on/off question . So what you see there with cache on is absolutely normal! Thanks for reporting it, I'll fix that ASAP.

Hi Saviour,

Sorry you are having problems with Golden Axe - unfortunatly none of us can recreate your problem on any of our Falcons (We have access to 6 different Falcons, with various memory/CPU/HD driver options)

So, unfortunatly, I don't think we can help with that right now - are you *sure* you don't load anything strange from AUTO?

Ok, 2 news items from me:

a) Interphase is re-uploaded with cache options gone
b) I managed to recreate the problem on my 4mb Falcon. Apparently it seems that if the game is loaded low in memory then it doesn't work!!!! ATM I'm baffled as to why this is happening, but if you can ensure that the game is loading high (make your hddriver caches bigger) then it will work I gather! Of course this is just a suggestion to get it working, I'll find a fix for this ASAP! (it's late in the night for me )

Because we are D-Bug

(And we've had a *lot* of practice)

Try that, see if it helps.

HDDriver isnt the most friendly of things to use, but it does unfortunatly seem to be the standard.  I personally prefer ICDTools (Which I use on the MSTe), but both my Falcons have HDDriver running on them
