Ole, toro :/

Nice game! Though I don't see the point of having lives. This doesn't seem to feature the rewind function of the Game Boy game so I guess it's closer to the original Sharp MZ-700 version. Maybe that's something you could add in the future?

Correct! Yes, a bit short, but a fun little game.

Nice. Let's go with this one then..

Adventureland

The cutscene that plays when the pumpkin falls down from one of the high towers in Cauldron 2, it's missing some frames when compared to the c64 version, but it's neat nonetheless. The witch's cackle after the fall or when you lose a life also adds something.

a bootleg power pellet (or dot rather).

Let's go with this one then...

Hungry Horace?

Congratulations on the Italia 1944 release Alessandro! Always refreshing to see and play something different, and this genuinely is something else. The icon based user-interface is very intuitive, so while being a game with quite some depth, it's rather easy to get into. There are many hours of game...

Correct!

nope.

Good pick Juan!

How about this one then...

Cauldron II?

To produce a middle A note (440Hz) you need to be toggling the speaker 440 times a second, with 50 frames a second, that requires 8 changes per 50 Hz frame. Wouldn't the speaker need to be turned on then off for a complete cycle, meaning that you need to toggle the speaker 880 times a second for a ...

No problem!

Done! I also verified that the mod works using the other pokes.

I tried it in Spectaculator just now. Started a fresh game, loaded the POK file and ticked these: Allow escape from pirate controlled system, Force pirate controlled system next jump, Enable pirate controlled systems in Galaxy 1. Made the jump to Leesti, pirates had taken over the station and it was...

If I remember correctly... it doesn't enable pirates in the first galaxy, it's just a dirty hack that sets the galaxy number to 1 (galaxy 2). It doesn't twist the seed, but the game will think you're in galaxy 2. Only made that quick poke so people could check out the pirates straight away from a fr...

I had some time, so I replaced the font and indicators, this also fixes the 'encounter indicator light' so those pokes aren't needed any more. The flickering radar pixel fix isn't included, so that and any other pokes will need to be added if preferred. You can snag the TAP here: https://www.dropbox...

No problem! The original font isn't present at all in the 128k data. I could modify the TAP to use the original font and E/S indicators tomorrow if you'd like. Also how easy is it to convert these POKEs to patch the TAP file? Do I take an export of the RAM and look for similar byte sequences in the ...

I just made a fix for the Encounter Indicator Light on the 128k version. The flickering pixel is a little more complicated, but as an option I made a quick fix that removes it altogether.

Someone posted a FUSE libretro bounty a while back and that seems to have sparked some interest. See here: https://github.com/libretro/fuse-libretro

I haven't tried it yet, but a 1.6.0 version of the core is currently available in the nightlies.

3-3 hunchback?

Yay! I'll pass this time, anyone else up for it?

That's Pud Pud isn't it?
