Wow, just wow! Awesome stuff! Very well done, especially the lower part is very informative. Do you plan to offer a cartridge version?

Already downloadable?

Ok, I finally found time to delete MANAGER.BAS and AUTOSTART works in Caprice emulator. Would it be possible for you to convert MANAGER.BAS into a .BIN file instead and release an updated version or is that too much to ask? Other than that ... you know Bomb Jack Extra Sugar is by far the best home computer conversion. Cheers

I can tell you, sound and music is my weakest point as well, though I must admit I only experimented on the TI99/4A in Extended Basic with it. My Assembler knowledge on the C64 is very limited and in total beginner status, as I have absolutely no time to get deeper into it (hopefully one day when I retire), but I managed to code and finish system utilites in pure Assembler on the Amiga in a very advanced status. That's what I am still proud of. You know there are so many racing games in multi-color mode on the 64. If I had enough time, I would really try to code a racing game in hi-res mode. It would be so different to all those 80ies games, which are multi-color lo-res mode, though some of them made really fun. As long as you have time and fun to code, it might be a pleasure for you. Good luck

First of all congratulations for achieving your goals. I really appreciate your efforts, as new racing games are rarely released. When thinking about the old racing games of the C64, always Pole Position, Super Cycle and The Great American Cross Country Road Race come into my mind. I loved all of these games and they showed, how smooth racing games can be on the C64. I always dreamt about a new racing game, that crosses the boundaries of those old games, as so many new games show, what's possible on the original hardware, despite using a whole floppy disk or a complete EasyFlash cartridge. Keep it on and maybe hi-res mode might give you more opportunites as well. Just a thought. I will keep tracking you, promised. Cheers

Great. Appreciated.

Excellent. Thank you.

Hello, looks very promising. Do you mind releasing a *.dsk version as well? Thank you

Wow, very neat! Can't wait to play this, as this looks very appealing. OCS games are always welcome, GFX looks beautiful. Thank you

Very nice game, very hard sprite collission detection.

You were monitoring the wrong cracking group ;)

Thank you sir.

Hi, interesting game. Would you mind supplying a fully bootable ADF-file?

Ok, here is the answer from the author of CaPriCe Forever ...

Caprice will check the content of the catalog to find a visible single file with BAS, BIN or no extension.
In that DSK, there are several visible BAS files. Caprice is not able to know which one to launch.
But, there are something to do.
If you open the Files Manager window, and hide the file "MANAGER.BAS".
Now, the autostart should work by launching "BJES.BAS".

I don't know if that's a final solutions or if you can somehow manage to rename MANAGER.BAS, so that only BJES.BAS is left? In this case AUTOSTART would work.

Cheers

Excellent, much appreciated!

Looks neat and awesome!

Could you share a *.dsk file instead of the *.cdt as well? Thank you

Looks really awesome! Congrats!

Could you please upload a real *.tap file for the game? Thank you

Hello, could you please upload a real *.tap file version for the game? Thank you

Thank you so much.

Awesome

Awesome

Awesome!

How cool is this game! Like like!

Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome game! Plays like the original back in the days! Superb! You know what people are waiting for now :P

And it runs on Hoxs64 emulator as well ;) Nice one!

Hey Corso, ok Vulkan is not available. Not a real prob. I plan to upgrade to Windows 11 in the near future and around this time a new gfx card will enter my system as well. So, I thank you for the info and good luck with that awesome stuff mate.

Allrighty! I only have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620, pretty old, but that driver is the latest available. Any additional software necessary, like Visual C++ or Net Framework?

Doesn't work here in Windows 10. Will have another try soon. Any plans for an Raspberry Pi build?

Constant first class releases Luca. Superb

Very good question. I tried to find out how to make specific files to autostart when inserted. It looks like a special CaPriCe Forever feature. As soon as I have found out how to do it, I will let you know, unless someone else finds out. Thanks

Hello Anthony, what an awesome conversion of this arcade classic. It is by far the best conversion and IMO 1:1 to the original arcade game. I would be very glad, if you could update 'Bomb Jack Extra Sugar' and add AUTOSTART to the file 'BJES.BAS'. In CaPriCe Forever emulator, you need to select the file from the catalogue. Otherwise you did an excellent job and beat the developers of 'Bomb Jack DX C64'.

Maybe in an updated version. Would that be possible?

Ok, one question. Is it possible to get in full screen somehow or maybe you can add this option in an update?

The SID tune in Mike Mech was nice enough ;)

Maybe, it has been cancelled?

Thanks for the *.dsk version! Appreciated!
