Tiny Quest

Hi Guys!!!

In the latest 3 weeks I’ve learned how to convert, from original source, games for these systems that haven’t so much new stuff available:

Sam Coupe’

Einstein 256

Timex 2068

Sinclair QL

And I’ve made more that 30 conversions.

One of them was Tiny Quest that the author, Andrea Schincaglia, sent me gently the C64 source code.

So I ported to CPC too!

Joystick + Q A O P SPACE + CURSORS as Keyboard.

Enjoy!!!

Why not attach it here? :slightly_smiling_face:

(Hope you don’t mind that I did, if you don’t want it available here let me know and I’ll remove it)

Because I’ve just update the version on my Dropbox, please cancel your DSK, there is a new one too now with better menu timings :slight_smile:

Enjoy!

Ok, removed.

(Which post in the General category btw?)

This is a great little game, but I noticed during my testing that it doesn’t load on CPC464 and CPC664 machines, even with 128KB or more of RAM, because you’re using a firmware call to &BD5B to switch memory banks, and the call isn’t present on these machines.

The fully compatible way to switch banks is to use the code below (as an example to map bank &C4 to &4000-&7FFF):

LD BC,&7FC4
OUT (C),C

I’ve setted for use it on CPC 6128 only.

So is normal.

I will try to set that switch too and update it.

Try the new version linked :slight_smile:

I tested it in WinAPE and it works on the CPC464 and CPC664 configuration with 128KB of RAM. :+1: Thanks for fixing it!

Hi there. I haven’t been able to try the game. The file isn’t active. Best regards.

Do to download at the buttom of screen and click Download.

DB doesn’t recognize DSK files, now is ZIPPED so more easy, check the new link upside.

What a smooth, playable game with cool music! I now wonder how other versions sound, look and play. I’m sure it will be a nice journey of discovery :ghost:
