Re: Boulderdash conversion

Thanks, I found most of it. In the BDGB database the download link for "Demalion Dash 02-Yosh" point to the remix version, but I found it on another place. Still missing: - "Rockford's Tale" -> only .BD file is available - "Tutorial" -> made by Marek Roth - may be you c...

Re: Boulderdash conversion

Hi, I convert available .d64 files from Tosec. Doing this, an issue comes up: The convert table for crli caves are wrong. I tested this with the editor and the real game and additionally in debug mode. Some old .Bd files which are delivered with gdash have wrong interpreted butterflies. Here a list ...

Re: Boulderdash conversion

Many thanks for this retrospective. Information about this deep connections are very interesting. We would like more of it. :) I only compare the (resulting) map. Colors are not compared. Not even the times or diamond values or the other properties. It may be that the caves are more difficult, but i...

Re: Boulderdash conversion

Hi, I modifiy the gdash source a little to get out some checksums for each cave. A 16-bit Adler checksum - which is not usable for comparision, because we have over 33000 caves and 16-bit only have 65.536 possible values. A 32-bit Adler checksum - better but not good enough. (Adler don't consider po...

Re: Boulderdash conversion

Re: Boulderdash conversion

That's interesting! Did you check your converted cave sets in the game (R'n'D or GDash)? None of them. I compare the levelinfo.conf. I load it with an C64-Emulator (VICE). Cave can be choose up to 44, the next 4 caves are intermissions. Do a memory dump and use one of my readers (it's in CAV/INT fo...

Boulderdash conversion

Hi, I'm converted all Boulderdash games from Tosec. Without knowing that "any2gds" exists. Write my own readers. And I compare the level sets from "gdash-levels-0.9.1.zip" (which artsoft used for RnD) with my list. First compare in this direction. Result: some of my extracted lev...

Re: Gdash

GDash (respectively any2gdash) can not convert games from C64 memory dumps where the title screen says "same game Y/N" and "number of screens:" - no idea which kit creates this. It simply does not find the caves in the dump. Does anybody have a solution for this? Maybe I can hel...
