Some other games you should try: The first 18-sprites demo that John Seager posted to this list. This version would show 18 sprites in a row on some VCSs, while only showing 17 sprites on others. Later demos were changed to work on all 2600s, so this first version might be a good compatibility test. Kool Aide Man has problems on some 2600 Jrs and on some 7800s. The numbers for the score would get positioned on top of each other, so that the collition detection would constandly be triggered. This makes the game unplayable. The wierd positioning happens due to the game messing around with the positioning registers too much during a HMOVE. Also you should ask Thomas Jentzsch for a copy of the first unpublished version of Robot City. In this version he also accessed HMCLR too early after a HMOVE, but he gets totally wierd position errors, probably because he changes a NUSIZ register inbetween. And if your TIA passes all of these tests and shows the same positioning errors as the original TIA, it would be nice, if you could explain us how exactly object positioning works on the TIA, especially during HMOVE. ;-) Ciao, Eckhard Stolberg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
