SillyPack 2k18 released
von Jac » Do 21. Feb 2019, 01:22Hallo,
wie auch in den letzt Jahren habe ich mich gegen besseres Wissen blauäugig dafür entschieden alle Demos, Musiken und Grafiken der SillyVenture 2k18 für den Atari 8-bit auf mit einem Menü zu versehen und alles so ans Laufen zu bringen, dass man es gemütlich auf der echen Hardware (oder Emulation) anschauen kann. Und das ohne sich alles aus dem Netz zusammenzusuchen und rum zu probieren ... denn Vieles war wie immer mit heißer Nadel gestrickt und lief nur an genau dem Tag auf genau dem Rechner
. Und schupps nach 3 Monaten Arbeit war ich ruck zuck fertig. Viel Spaß damit!
Weiter mit dem englischen Originaltext:
SILLY VENTURE 2018 - 8-BIT RESULTS PACK
15 bonuses - 5 musics - 15 graphics - 13 intros - 6 demos - 4 games - 2 wilds
This pack contains a disk image in MyDos format with all Atari 8-bit releases
of SillyVenture 2k18. I felt they deserve a good presentation, especially
the graphics and music releases for which no art pack/music disk exists.
This pack comes with results viewer which also acts as a menu from where you
can directly start all releases and read the readmes.
The menu remains memory resident, so you don't have to load it again every
time. This makes watching the graphics entries and listening to the music
entries much more fun, especially on the real machine.
If you use loadable speeders, you have to use the memory area $500-$5ff.
For "SIO2SD TURBO" for example press "OPTION+START" at the boot screen.
These are the controls for the menu:
* Pressing any key while the menu is loading takes you to the DOS shell.
* Pressing RESET in the menu performs a cold start.
* Pressing RESET in while a release is running returns to the menu, if possible.
* Further controls are displayed in the menu itself.
The following releases have been patched by me for your seamless pleasure:
* 16394 - Now without graphics errors and performs cold start upon RESET
* Burn! - Now loads from DOS 2.5
* Fimbo's Quest - Now loads with BASIC enabled
* No Bank Skank - Fixed after party version
* Onedimensional - Now performs cold start upon RESET
* RainboWomit - Now loads from DOS 2.5
* Seaxteen - Now performs cold start upon RESET
* Pop'n'Drop - Now performs cold start upon RESET
* Rolpower 256b - Now loads from DOS 2.5 and DUP menu
* Silly Venture 2k18 Invitation - Now loads from DOS 2.5
* Sillyvitro 256b - Now runs under Altirra OS
* Truemaze - Now runs under Altirra OS
* We Invite You to Compusphere - Now loads from DOS 2.5
Original ASCII artwork by NE7, Music "Disse" by 505, menu by JAC!
This download also contains a pre-configured Altirra installation.
Just extract the archive to a folder and run "SillyPack2k18.bat".
For the Rapidus demos run "SillyPack2k18-Rapidus.bat".
