Circus Calacticus (22-12-2008) (r2) (A2600 Game)

Circus Calcticus, which was known as “DUEL” for a short time, has been updated. It’s a futuristic gladiator tournament, where combatants duel each other to the death for the pleasure of the galactic empire. The game will comprise the player’s fighting career, with the difficulty and rewards ramping up with each new match. A match ends when one gladiator loses all of his shields, and is fried by his opponents laser beam. The player begins a match with three shields, while each new opponent gains more shields up to a maximum of five.

Release notes:

New Update:

Here’s a reworked version of the laser beam sound behavior. For player beams, I’ve added a “charge-up” sound effect for when you are charging your gun, so that you know when it is charged and primed for full range. I also modified the sound progression of the beam for a more brassy feel, and altered sound collision events so that the beam produces different tones based on how far away the target was, and whether or not it hit your opponent. I kept the original enemy beam sounds in so players could compare and contrast. As always, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Jarod.

NESemu v0.2.2 (Beta) (NES emu for PS2)

NESemu is an extremly portable Nintendo Entertainment System emulator for various systems, such as PS2.

Changes:

Fixed ROM loading, tested with .nes, .unf/.unif, and .fds files. Also tried them all GZipped. All IRX’s and BIOS files should be placed in the “nesemu” folder on the first memory card. (ex: mc0:/nesemu/ with uLaunchelf, you will need to copy the files and create the directory on your own.). No longer requires two controllers to start up. No longer requires a hard disk, but hard drive support is flaky, and doesn’t support GZip. ROMs on the hard drive should be stored in the “+NES” partition. USB loading is still unsupported. PS2 NESEMU installer coming shortly, based upon the Wii “NESEMU Channel” installer.

This build is a TEST build, if you expirience problems with it running on real hardware, please let the author know!

Release notes:

New Update:

I’ve taken a whack at a 30hz title screen, but found I could only jam 14 letters comfortably into 4 sprites. Therefore, the title screen reads “Circus Galactus” instead of “Circus Galacticus.” It might be a happy accident, actually… I almost feel like the title rolls off the tongue a little smoother minus the extra syllable. Any opinions?

Cheers,
Jarod
