    bypassing emulator frontends

    Hi there, So I've been using my pandora for a while, and I've realized my usage pattern is typically to be engrossed in *one* game for days or weeks at a time. During that period, I seldom switch games, and I find that the frontends get in my way: I want to start that one game but I find...

    intro guide to making 2d platformers

    I just stumbled across this article, which I thought was quite a nice intro to the topic (with nice retro-game examples): http://higherorderfu...2d-platformers/

    Bad films that are actually good

    I can't agree with that. I hate Alien 4. It threw away the serious tone of the franchise by introducing that band of ridiculous space pirates and shoot-on-the-ceiling-do-2-rebounds-on-pipes-and-kill-the-guard-behind-me nonsense. please.

    supaboy & co: looking nice

    Hey there, I just stumbled upon this pretty cool looking system: It's probably already known, but since a search in the forums for "supaboy" didn't yield anything, I thought I'd share: http://hyperkin.com/supaboy-portable-pocket-snes-console.html/ Although, I would probably not buy it (2.5...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    Found it at last! The Pengo-clone game I used to play was called "Ice Strad". I found it on cpc-power's website (they have a "style: pengo" group :) ). It was indeed a type-in published in Amstrad Magazine #23 (June 1987).

    gmuinput.pandora.conf

    Looks like XX in the "Button-XX" entries are only meant to be continuous indexes, I changed the file to this: Button-73=280,(Y) Button-74=281,(X) Button-75=279,( Button-76=278,(A) Button-77=9,Tab Button-78=303,(L) Button-79=305,(R) [/CODE] And now (A) works to play a file in...

    gmuinput.pandora.conf

    Hi there, I'm running gmu 0.8.0beta1as a music player and I'm very happy with it. I have a slight problem with the Play File In Browser mode key (A), pandora.keymap correctly shows: FileBrowserPlayFile=(A) so I went to check gmuinput.pandora.conf, which looks suspicious at the end...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    I'm obviously biased, but I do like it. I must say the dpad control is not ideal on the pandora for this game btw, I wish the dpad and the ABXY buttons could both be configured to act as the direction arrows in caprice32, now THAT would make it rock :) Indeed! and I realized I was being...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    Cool! I hope you have good fun :) Yup, unfortunately, that pengo-type game is not it either :( , but then again "4 spiele 1 diskette", means there are 4 games on that disk, there should be 4 screenshots to be exhaustive, maybe I should check the rest. gusanin is a snake game, but I'm not...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    Thanks prometheus! The game is unfortunately not "Penggy", nor is it "Penguins". I've checked these 2, but the way I remember that pengo clone, was that the stage was much bigger, meaning the sprites (penguins, bears, ice and diamonds) were smaller. BTW, one problem I had with the cpc archive...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    Found the snake game!! It's called Meynaupede, and can be played online here: http://www.comeplay....upede-game.html The game ... errr ... doesn't quite match my description above :P ... I swear in my memory the body units were '@'! :lol: Anyway just to correct my initial description...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    Thanks I just did the same. Some of the disk images are not on that wiki at all, which means some could be lost forever :( . That wiki site is awesome btw! Boy, do I remember the bad experience I had with tomahawk with this horrible piracy control device: http://cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Lenslok...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    yes! Yes!!! YES!!!!!! That *IS* the one! :) Many thanks! Now, I'll check the other issues of AA and ACU for my other games, thanks again! PS: back then, my dad purchased our amstrad 6128 second hand, and the seller already had a whole bunch of floppies and games. I had no idea where these...

    pls help to identify cpc6128 games

    Hi there, I managed to identify most of the games I used to play in my cpc6128 days by browsing various cpc archive and screenshot sites, but there are a few I cannot find again :( . These were clearly not the best of the platform, but I did spend significant amount of time on them. If...

    Perfect! 7za extracted to /usr/local/bin, I'm a happy camper :) Many thanks!

    where's 7zip?

    Hi there, Where could I find and install the 7zip command line utility for pandora ( http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/ ) ? It does not look like it's in the angstrom repo: http://www.angstrom-.../?pkgsearch=zip :/ Thanks, Tim

    retro-games for the little ones?

    Indeed they are. LOL! Is that your recommendation because they are half-asian? Or is that your recommendation for 4-year-olds in general? :D

    retro-games for the little ones?

    Thanks for all the suggestions, much appreciated! I'll install these and let the kids have a go. My kids love Chip and Dale, hopefully they'll enjoy the game on nes. That being said, after seeing them play a couple of times, I think most platformers will be too advanced for them, especially...
