Would have to use a higher sampling rate for the bings to make it bearable, I guess. Disk version is just not ready yet.
I noticed the keys to test the extras do not work any more (I was trying to see if the "Break"-sound now works).
Just download again. Should be fine now.
What memory does the game use now? Still +24K? I would think +32K would be fair game, maybe even +35K. Limiting yourself to +24K makes no sense really. Even in the old days, you either had +3K, +8K, +16K or +32K.
With the sounds it's 32K. Should also load with +24K (and broken audio).
+35K has only been made popular recently and just a few apps use it, I can only think of Doom, the Infocom-adventure interpreters and Mike's CGA-viewer.
It's scanning for patches at startup, so there should be some space left in the end.
If you want to make an Ultimem-version you can also use the 2K I/O-block at $9800. When plugging in the Ultimem this should be fair game.
Really don't need it all at the moment.
Well, let's see with the intro/outro animations...
Thanks a gazillion! But there's a catch: am still 300 miles away from the machine and the keyboard kicked it anyway. As a workaround I just ported the game to shadowVIC, which should support paddle emulation via an analog joystick. Not finished yet. Was busy witting out a bunch of doctors. Guess their dogs are doing that on a regular basis.
