Zombeaver Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 15 minutes ago, Pixelpiper said: Not simply selection of an arbitrary year, but setting parameters/limits to keep things easier to manage. I've already done that. The parameter is "Is it good?" I have to dig through piles of shit in order to determine what passes that parameter check. By saying "I don't care about anything from the 90's for C64 no matter how good." you are quite literally doing it on the basis of an arbitrary year. Game = Good + Year > 1989 = Don't care Game = Good + Year </= 1989 = Super interested There are C64 games that came out after 1989 that, surprisingly enough, are actually quite good. There are C64 games that came out in the 80s that, shockingly enough, are actually quite awful. It's almost as if there are good and bad games that came out both before and after an arbitrary year. If you want to be arbitrary about [insert random variable], by all means go for it! That is your prerogative. But don't tell me that it's not arbitrary.

Zombeaver Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 "based on or determined by individual preference or convenience rather than by necessity or the intrinsic nature of something" I think that actually sums it up just fine. You're making a choice on the basis of a specific criteria that has no inherent impact on the determination of value or quality of the games in question. It's not based on any other intrinsic value, it's not even based on a value that anyone but you would care about. The fact that the 80s is when you were active has no relevance to literally anyone but you. That's what makes it arbitrary. You can define or refer to that with whatever word you want though. Feel free to replace with "silly" if arbitrary offends your sensibilities. 1 hour ago, Pixelpiper said: It's no more arbitrary than the decision to call a game good/bad based on one's opinion. Whether or not something is "good" is obviously going to come down to a certain matter of taste. I never said anything to the contrary. I don't know of any game critic that would ever say anything to the contrary. I'm making the determination based on how playable a game is (in 2020), which is based on yes, my opinion, and on a "fun factor" again based on my opinion, avoiding the hundreds of Boulderdash hacks/clones (or equivalents for other games), avoiding non-English versions of games where relevant, and avoiding stuff that... just looks like complete garbage. Nobody's going to agree with 100% of my decisions, but 99.9% of them aren't going to care enough (or know) one way or the other anyway. I am willing to go out on a limb and say that my (admittedly debatable) rationale is more relevant to 99.999% of the target audience here than yours is though. For someone with such limited time, you certainly seem to have plenty enough to come in here, dragging this increasingly ridiculous conversation along. If you have anything actually relevant to contribute to this project, feel free, but I'm not going to waste any more of my limited time on this. In the time that we've been having some kind of inane semantics debate, I could have gotten more work on this done. This is not your personal sounding board to talk about your projects, talk about your golden years in the scene, your bartop, your graphical or programming skills, or the undoubtedly numerous other fantastic qualities of you. None of that is relevant to this thread. There's plenty of space on the forums for that kind of thing. This isn't it. If you have a specific game request, a specific feature request (that I'm able to accommodate), or have some issue (that's within my ability to resolve), I am happy to oblige. Otherwise, it needs to go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 As I said, it's not just to post updates. It's so people can report issues or requests, which are actually relevant and perfectly fine. I am sorry you're offended. Be that as it may I, like you, value my time. And this discussion about basically nothing is increasingly wasting it. My point wasn't to insult you. My point was that you're being arbitrary. Which is your prerogative! I said that more than once even. But if it's going to devolve into a tedious semantics debate, which is literally what was happening, it just becomes a waste of everyone's time at that point. This is not the place. Do whatever you want. Care or don't care about whatever you want, nobody's stopping you. But I'm not gonna get into a debate about "that depends on what the definition of 'is' is" or have this thread turn into a quagmire about stuff that frankly doesn't have anything to do with the project, which you seem to have the penchant for repeatedly injecting into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombeaver Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 For whatever it's worth, I am sorry if I upset you @Pixelpiper (or anyone else for that matter). This project is my baby. I've spent well over a thousand hours on this thing at this point, with a long way to go. I'm married, have a full time job, have a mortgage, etc. but I spend significant amounts of my free time on this and a few other projects here, in no small part for the benefit of others. So when you say something like "I don't care about any C64 games from the 90s", something that, you may not realize, but describes actually a pretty sizeable chunk of the library here, maybe you can understand why that might upset me. That's tantamount, in my mind, to saying the thing I'm spending all this time on doesn't have value. This is something I've poured a lot of time and energy into, so I take that kind of thing kinda personally. If you did some C64 artwork that you'd spent a lot of time on and wanted to show it to someone and they said "I don't care about C64 artwork, no matter how good it is," you probably wouldn't like that either, even though they're under no obligation to care or like it. I hope you (and everyone else) get whatever it is you want out of the project, even if significant portions of it aren't of interest to you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Version 0.20 of C64 Dreams is now available. It features 300 new games and a number of other improvements and changes. DOWNLOAD HERE The magazine module (optional) for the local (.cbr) versions can be found here. The game details spreadsheet has been updated accordingly. New: Added virtual keyboard function to controller - accessible by pressing Y (on a 360/XB1 controller) Created a configurator (C64 Dreams\C64 Dreams\Configurator.exe) for quickly changing overlays, shaders, and the base config Added a new shader preset called Esper C64 (requires dedicated video card - not integrated - and a fast-ish PC) - this is not the default, but can be quickly selected through the configurator Updated core to newest version as of 3/9/20 - brings new SID engine ReSID-3.3 which improves audio quality (updated all option files accordingly to use it) and new zoom features Converted from using custom screen cropping for everything to using new zoom settings in core options, this eliminates the need for per-resolution base settings and even eliminates the need for game-specific cropping in many instances (though not all) if you are using a 16:9 display. If it's 4:3, 5:4, etc. it will need some adjustment (it would have anyway, in the past). The remaining games that still need resolution-specific cropping are as follows: Alien Syndrome Ballblazer Brainway Draconus Forgotten Forest Frogger Arcade Gemini Wing Genesia Tiger Claw Turbo Outrun Zolyx Created new bezels to accommodate for adjusted dimensions of new zoom settings, both for normal (PAL) and NTSC games - options are Bruce Lee (default), Project Firestart, Retrograde, Times of Lore, Ultima III, X-Out, and blank (empty first overlay image, second is the controls image) Added Blast From the Past volumes 16-25 Added 64 games to Best Of Vol. 4 Added custom controls to Renegade Version updates: 8bit-Slicks -

it was on a multi-game disk and was starting a game called Bomb Squad instead Disabled unified menu controls to make navigating the RA UI a little easier for those that want to Enabled Protovision adapter for 8bit-Slicks to allow up to 4 simultaneous players (now supported in 2020 update) Removed second disk from Aliens - The Computer Game (Electric Dreams) because it wasn't necessary Corrected Defender, Donkey Kong (Atari), Head Over Heels, The Heist, P.O.D., Realm of Impossibility, and Target Renegade to use joystick port 1 Created single .d81 disk images for a few multi-disk games so disk-swapping is no longer necessary - games included are Chester Field, Dark Lord, Metal Warrior 4, Out Run Europa, and Take Down; backups of the multi-disk .d64 versions are available in Games\!Backups\!D81 Conversion Backups as a precaution Added virtual keyboard mapping to controller layout reference sheet and overlays Changed Donkey Kong (Atari) to NTSC and adjusted cropping accordingly Added custom control for a few games that need you to press ` (tilde) to leave docs/trainer screens which sets this to the start button - games included are Border Blast 2, Dante's Department Store, Dizzy - Prince of the Yolkfolk, Hopping Mad, IO, Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator, Super G-Man, Up'n Down, Warp, and Wheel of Fortune Added map as third overlay screen for Times of Lore Cleared emumovies and retroachievements fields in LB Renamed Fistfull of Bucks, A to Fistful of Bucks, A, The Magic Candle to Magic Candle, The, Realms of Impossibility to Realm of Impossibility, and Sword of Honor to Sword of Honour and updated LB paths Deleted old (unused) files for Operation Wolf, Rolling Ronny, Shadow of the Beast, and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - The Coin-Op Changed default frame delay value from 3 to 1 (making it a little less hardware intensive by default). I do recommend changing it to 3+ if your PC can handle it though. The higher the value, the lower the input latency. You can quickly adjust this by using the Configurator, using the "Config Editor" function, and changing the value for video_frame_delay = Miscellaneous: Removed about 4000 unnecessary files from Retroarch folder New games with multitap (3-4 controller) support: 8bit-Slicks Hat Trick 2020 Zatacka New custom note overlays: Beyond Castle Wolfenstein Big Mac Blue Max 2001 Cybernoid II Cyborg Dalek Attack Dan Dare 3 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Dragonriders of Pern Emlyn Hughes International Soccer Fighter Bomber Fire and Forget II Fungus II Galactic Gardener Gameboy Tetris Gates of Dawn Gauntlet II Gemstone Healer Gemstone Warrior Geo-Matrix Hawkeye Ice Cold Beer Icicle Works Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road Joe Gunn Jumpman Karateka Lily Lander Lords of Chaos Lords of Chaos II Mad Doctor Magnetoball Memory Mission Moon Night Racer North & South Ole!

bundangdon Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @Zombeaver not sure what i'm doing wrong, but I did a fresh install with this and I can't get past the launchbox "initializing" prompt. Did I miss a step somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm not sure what you mean. By fresh install do you mean you're trying to import this into an existing collection or you mean you're getting an error using the included LB? If it's the former then something's been pasted into the platforms/parents .xmls wrong. The parents xml actually hasn't changed from the last one, so you wouldn't need to change that from the last version. The platforms xml has though. If it's the latter... well I have no idea what would cause that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundangdon Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Actually, it's the latter. I'll try rebooting and see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bundangdon Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I figured it out. I had not unzipped the contents with its original main folder "C64 Dreams" which caused the problem. Perhaps it won't work without that original folder. Anyways, problem solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3R0B4NG Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Hate to be the guy that points out the first error but you were too fast for me to play around with the test version ? ... big TMNT fan, so first thing i click on is of course: "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" it is supposed to be this game https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/57129 (i did not know there was C64 port of this) but it actually is the Coin-Op https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/24845 which is already in the collection, both TMNT game icons effectively start the same game, you just used a different hack for it with some trainer cheat thing in front for the new one. the Coin-op is the first and only C64 game i ever bought retail myself, my C64 (along with a big box of pirated copies) was a hand me down from Dad when he got his first 386 PC, i had it sitting next to my SNES... i bought the game when i was a 3rd grader, i only remember i bought it on the way to school in that one local small computer shop, i saw it and i just NEEDED to have it, i couldn't afford it right away and needed to save up for a few weeks, i checked every day if the Box was still there to the point where the shop owner kicked me out ...a week later i had the money and finally bought it!, ...i also lend that game to a friend, the bastard never gave me back the instruction manual, wich meant i couldn't get past the copy protection because there were codes printed in the manual that you needed to start the game. It is probably the worst version of the game (you can't even walk straight up or down like in every other version of it) but it totally triggers my Nostalgia bone. (yet somehow i never had Turtles in Time for the SNES, i only played that one at another friends house every time i had the chance). btw. Can you point me to where the instructions are to import this to my own Launchbox, it's time now that i get that done.

You need the LB folder and then the C64 Dreams subfolder. The LB folder is also named "C64 Dreams" by default but it can be named anything. The subfolder does need to stay as "C64 Dreams" but the base folder name doesn't matter. 5 minutes ago, Z3R0B4NG said: Hate to be the guy that points out the first error but you were too fast for me to play around with the test version ? ... big TMNT fan, so first thing i click on is of course: "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" it is supposed to be this game https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/57129 (i did not know there was C64 port of this) but it actually is the Coin-Op https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/24845 which is already in the collection, both TMNT game icons effectively start the same game, you just used a different hack for it with some trainer cheat thing in front for the new one. Yep, you're right. Delete the C64 Dreams\C64 Dreams\Games\Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles folder and replace it with the attached, then you'll be set. It'll be in the next update.
