My game Carling The Spider is soon to be released on the Psytronik label, and I've just finished fixing the game to work in NTSC (I hope!) so I was wondering if someone would offer to try the game out on a real NTSC VIC-20 and confirm to me that it works ok, as I've only been able to test NTSC on VICE so far. I'd also be interested in getting someone to have a play of the PAL version on real hardware too, as my own VIC isn't in great shape in the sound department
Really just looking for one person to test on each type at the moment since it'll be commercially available for a while, so I guess it'll be whoever responds first!The two main things that need checked are:
1 - That NTSC works.
2 - That the game 'sounds' okay on your hardware, in your opinion.
The reason for point 2 is, as I've said, the audio malfunctions a bit on my VIC-20, it sounds distorted (saturated) and it gets worse the longer the machine has been switched on. It sounds lovely in the emulator, so I guess I want to know whether it sounds acceptable on a VIC in reasonable condition. I have the option of halfing the volume in-game to reduce the distortion but it would seem silly to work around a problem that might only exist on my damaged hardware!
Send me a message if you're interested
