Re: Space Invaders / Connect-4

Wow, further new improvements! I have to apologise for not having tried the improved versions yet, but unfortunately I am still having problems of dizziness/vertigo and I'm trying to avoid fast moving and flashing things, videogames included, whenever I can. Still I can't wait to try it out, and jud...

Re: Space Invaders / Connect-4

highinfidelity - Presentation screen is now run in a loop - ALien replacing the 'Y' now moves at bit level. I have also included invaders 'arm' when moving the letter (as it happens in the Arcade) Perhaps never before any of my suggestions have been taken is such high consideration... :D Thanks onc...

Re: FE3 issue with FE3 "software packs".

There is newer firmware from last year available from https://www.sd2iec.de/ (the file named sd2iec-current-binaries.zip ), but I'm unsure if it wise to try it. It sounds from the freeze during $ that the file system is corrupt, you are ejecting the SD cleanly, right? If you run CHKDSK (or whatever...

Re: Space Invaders / Connect-4

I have to agree in full with the above: this is by far the all times' best port (and not emulation!) of Space Invaders I've seen on any classic system! 8) Standing ovation! The gameplay is indeed excellent, and you did a terrific work with the mother ship! I only have the impression that it comes ou...

Re: FE3 issue with FE3 "software packs".

I tried to update the firmware. As usual the repository mentioned on the user's manual is long time gone and only a japanese (chinese?) writing appears. I then searched and found this other page which hopingly is not a mock-up: https://ops.github.io/FE3-Firmware/ Apparently the firmare has been inde...

Re: Space Invaders / Connect-4

Thanks a lot for taking in consideration what I have written! Can't wait to try out the new improved 8K version! 8) The missiles' speed is a tricky point, as the screen ratio of the arcade and the VIC is radically different, almost 90° rotated. So it's really hard to tell, but as a "general fee...

Re: FE3 issue with FE3 "software packs".

Why should it be so? It works perfectly with the "roms" directory. I have also (coincidentally) checked if it loads a single isolated program (invader.prg) which also needs adding 3K ram, and everything worked as a breeze.

Re: Space Invaders / Connect-4

Being a *huge* Space Invaders fanatic (all times' best game in my opinion - despite its simplicity) this is great news indeed! If you're currently upgrading it to 8K RAM, you may have already addressed these points, however here they are... - when the player sweeps the "base" across the sc...

Re: FE3 issue with FE3 "software packs".

The OS is Windows 10, supposing that this may have any effect (I strongly doubt it). The SD card is indeed an old one with 256 Mb memory, but I've also tried with even older ones featuring 32 Mb (in this case with only sub-portions of the software packets, as the whole packet won't fit these ones) w...

Re: Space Invaders / Connect-4

Hello again Lechuck! Positive: the program runs perfectly on the FE3 by following Mike's hints. :D Do you consider the game still "under developement", or are you on new projects? In case, I'd have a pair of comments to share, but I'll keep them for myself if the invaders project is defini...

Re: FE3 issue with FE3 "software packs".

No, no... I have tried with one at a time. There is either "collection A" or "collection B" alone on the SD card.

Each of them doesn't work.

Is there something I am missing? It was described as an operation as easy as to copy all the files and directories to the SD card.

FE3 issue with FE3 "software packs".

Good morning everybody, please excuse the new dumb question and please think also to the most obvious answers, as I'm really not deep into these things. I own a FE3 and I tried to copy on its SD memory card two different "complete packets" of cart dumps, programs etc. built up by two diffe...
