Hi All,
Sorry it's been a while, but it was going to be a dual release with the hybrid :)
Here's Jetpac, for Hybrid ( of course ), Proto/demo board, and Hydra.
 
 
 
 
Enjoy...
 
feedback welcome.
 
PS, ProtoDemo users use keyboard, as I doubt you'll have bit shifters in your setup :).
 
Instructions.
 
menu screen,
press "1" to set 1 player game
press "2" to set 2 player game
press "5" to start
cursor keys move left, right, and up=thrust
Control key = fire
P = Pause
 
Baggers.

Thank you Baggers for this wonderful conversion, you've done a great job!

I can vouch for the fact that it plays just like the original.

It just shows what this great chip is capable of, I've not been this enthused for years!

Thanks Parallax, you've done us proud.

Regards,

Coley

Thanks Baggers!

Especially for letting us protoboard people be part of the fun!
...any chance for a PAL-Version? :-)

Clemens, yeah I'll knock up a pall version over the weekend when I have some spare time.

Baggers.

( I'll swap it with my own spectrum TV display driver, which is hot swappable with PAL and NTSC )
 
Edit: I'll always make Proto/Demo versions, as it's what I had originally, and it's best to be compatible with multiple machines, that way, more people get to play it.

Excellent job Jim! I never played in on the Speccy, but I remember the ads that Ultimate used to run on the back pages of the computer magazines. And Jetpac was one of those I remember wanting to play. So thanks for giving me the chance after all these years.

Hard game. High score: 3940.

Haven't tried it yet, but...

Is it still possible to position yourself on the righthand platform, facing to the right and just lock the trigger and go for lunch?
(I think that was the trick my brother used. )

It was our first game, and still the most popular on the Speccy.
(Sabre Wulf, Jet Set Willy, Manic Miner and Rogue Trooper were also fun... )

Don't visit my new website...

Glad you're all enjoyiing it, and it's bringing back memories, or giving you the chance to play if you've never played it and wanted to CG.

It's a classic not to be missed, which is why I chose to remake it ;)

I really, really want to play JETPAC but my Propeller is running on 96 MHz(6*16) and I dont have
a 5 MHz crystal at home so Im wondering if its possible to make a 96 MHz version of JetPacProtoDemo?

Baggers,

I have played a little with JETPAC on my Hydra. Very nice Speccy feeling on the Propeller. Thanks for your great work.
What I was missing is the sound of the rocket. Perhaps you could add it in the final version.

what I mean is,
You've made no extra additions to the board, pinout wise
Eg.
TV is pin12-14 ( 15 for broadcast )
Keyboard is 26,27
Mouse 24,25

Hi Alberto,

I've just successfully downloaded and played Jetpac on my Demo board, without any problems. cool

Is you keyboard starting up when you power up the demo board?

My keyboard LED's flash and the Numlock LED stays on when I boot it up...

Best regards,


Coley

My site isn't down, but if you still can't get it, try the attached file ( I've put all three versions on incase anyone else has difficulties smile )
 
Edit: I've re-attached the fixed hydra version to this post.

Well I grabbed it from the link from your site now, it could very well be the PC that I have the Hydra hooked up to, it is kinda flakey.
 
Holy F, was the Specrtrum version that hard? Nice job tho :-)
 
Here are a few things I have noticed while playing
 
When the jet takes off, it looks like the thrust blast is too far from the ship, there is a gap between the ship and the thrust blast.
 
I have seen fuel drop at the far end of the screen, which makes it tough because it gives you no chance to avoid or kill the aliens things.
 
I see what look like bonuses, but have clue what they are/do, some instructions would be nice (either in game or a text file)
 
On the hydra version it shows the option for either keyboard or joystick, with keyboard flashing, but joystick is just selectable by hitting the joystick buttons.
 
The keyboard for the Hydra version does not work(at least not for me) and I just double checked it with another keyboard app

JT Cook, glad you finally got it ;)

There's a gap between the ship and the thrust on the spectrum version, it's because of the infamous attribute clash.

The fuel also falls on the edge of the screen on the spectrum, the bonus's ie the gems that drop down, are just bonus points, as per the original, they don't do anything special, just give you something extra to boost your high score.

The keyboard / joystick part of the menu, doesn't really do anything, I kept it in to keep it similar to the spectrum menu, Either joypad or keyboard work all the time. :)

As for the keyboard version not working on Hydra, I used Andy Green's comboKeyboard.spin, and started it with key.start(3) which is what I thought was the correct way to start the comboKeyboard object for Hydra setup, correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll upload a fixed version :)

Baggers,

I've not modified the demo board, I also haven't any added to the proto zone....but a detail...some times, I get out of syncro in my TV (NTSC mode).

JT Cook, I've uploaded a key.start(13) version on the hydra forum, and updated my website with it, can you try that and let me know if it works?

Cheers,
Jim.
