Atari ST version definitely has AY/YM sound, I guess there's some ST sound archive if you want to analize it.
btw, here's an excellent custom loading screen for Moon Patrol.
Looks really impressive, maybe you can contact the author and ask for permission to use in your game.

The MSX version of Moon Patrol had a nice version of the theme, I believe it's AY based?

There's also this site of VG Music rips, it looks like the original arcade machine used an AY chip? It looks like the format is VGZ, not sure if that can be used?

It would be great to get the music in there! Keep up the good work!

Hi Gabriele, I love your games! This looks great, way better than the official conversion!

The music is very simple and I was able to recreate it very quickly in AY. Sample here:

If you wish I can continue and do all the music, in any format you like. (I would also be happy to "improve" the music a little!) Get in touch!

this sounds great! but i need pt3 files... also: music tracks should be in separate files (begin, in game, victory, game over)

I got a Pm from goodboy offering to help. So maybe you guys can share the work? it could be useful to have those fx (alien ship approaching, bullts, explosions) in pt3 format as well..

Yes, of course. That was only a demo to show you I can do it. I will send you those two tunes in pt3 format.

Ah I'm glad you already had an offer from Goodboy For a project this small, I don't think sharing is necessary. I would be happy to do the whole thing, including sound effects, quite quickly. But it depends how Goodboy feels. He offered first and he might be very keen to do this - or he might be a little busy and happy to let me do it. Or you can toss a coin!

Unfortunately I can't help your your music request as I'm not a musician, just wanted to say that your Moon Patrol port looks fantastic and with the proper music it will be ace!!!

Lee Bee, I am not a musician (only hacker),
but I have a lot of experience in creating remixes (adding music/effects from other computers on zx)
you can make your version and then I will add a music module from MSX and show the author

great! tnx so much!

[gabriele amore]

just to keep you update on the project
here is another WIP
I added a "zone timer" (or whatever you call that thing that keep track of where you are in the game)

Hi gabriele,

this looks really nice, with plenty of colour. Though I'm wondering about the purple mountains in the background and the grey rocks at the bottom - isn't it possible to make them scroll smoother to make it look even better (unless there are some limitations to AGDx mini that forbid this)? Even updating them only on every 2nd or 3rd frame would suffice, after all it's the kind of animation one would likely have a couple of pre-shifts of to put onto the screen with the PUSH command quickly.

[gabriele amore]

Sorry but this is the best i can do up to now ... the purple mountains shift 2 pixels but for some reason the scroll is not as smooth as i would like it to be ...
The gray rocks shift 8 pix at the time but that is because i run out of gfx .. so i could not preshift them (also: if i did they would go slower than the green mountains... )

anyway:

Moon Ranger 2021 first release

Make sure you have the 128K machine on the emulator

PS i find it is more fun to run it at 110% of the speed

Thank you. Note to Downloaders: File should be added extension .TAP if Extension is missing.

Thank you. Note to Downloaders: File should be added extension .TAP if Extension is missing.

Should be renamed to extension .TZX as remarked here: viewtopic.php?p=80015#p80015

If .TAP is used, you may discover this error-message:

Spectaculator cannot open moon ranger 2021.tap.

The file is not valid or is corrupt.

[gabriele amore]

ok this is a better version of the game (i removed the gray rocks in the bottom... there are some issues with the graphics sometimes but if you can live with that, this is a better game experience i think)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tg3ismmakkw2j ... 2.tap?dl=0

try it and let me know what you think
