Re: New game - Driar
I tried for about 10 mins after, I don't really know how to get it to happen. I just waited and started moving and that happened. I'm trying now to do it again, but can't get it. I'll let you know if I get it again.
Re: New game - Driar
When you say "went all weird", what do you mean? Do you mean it scribbled bits of the star/spike animations everywhere? Palette changes? Something else?
My best guess right now is something scribbled over the unrolled code; if you can manage to tickle it again, you could try setting an execution breakpoint at $0896, for when it runs past the end.

Sure, I'll do that and see if anything touches the unrolled code. I didn't get it to trigger, but the game froze and it seemed the background was replaced with just striped tiles, they don't look like any I see in the PPU viewer. The game also froze it seemed. The sprites all displayed fine, although I don't know if anything was written over. But if I can get it to trigger I'll save state it and then keep messing with how to get it to work.

Better to just record a movie while playing it. This way you only need to trigger it once, and can give the movie file for debugging.3gengames wrote:But if I can get it to trigger I'll save state it and then keep messing with how to get it to work.

Re: New game - Driar
I don't know, I was trying to play the game so instinctively with my own projects I press CTRL+R quick. But I tried for 10 minutes last night to re-trigger with savestates, couldn't get it, I'll keep trying soon.

Re: New game - Driar
3gengames hasn't been able to reproduce his bug, but I think this build will fix it. For it to trigger, it really required a particularly perfect combination of events. This build also doesn't assume CHR-ROM is read-only, so it can work in the Streemerz bundle. (Instead it scribbles over the unused nametable)

Re: New game - Driar
Wow, I'm impressed the game was cut down from 128K UNROM to 64K and then down the NROM! Pretty crazy.
Re: New game - Driar
To be horrifically pedantic, the original was SGROM. I think they might have originally planned on having the world scroll around Driar and him fixed, hence using MMC1's single-screen mirroring.
Re: New game - Driar
Nice little game. A minor quibble I have is that like lives might as well have been hearts or something and dying should just be losing a heart with a bit of recovery time. The reset to start of level kinda hampers the flow a bit.
There could also be a lot more gameplay elements, like conveyors, barriers, switches, and so on. Driar 2?
