Ok separate thread, anyone got/has the VCS version ?

[EricR442]

Hum .. "last time I checked they were not like that" .. must be said after that "last time" I kept working on a smaller monitor ..

I'll have to re-check that story ..

Anyway I hope soon "to get a certain API from Atari" I'd love to fix all the rest too.

If there is anything I can help with, it would be my pleasure (although asking me with my decrepit skills to get to a decent level may be too much )

Ooh! How about this one? "Unity? We don't need no stinkin' Unity!" (Not sure if the Mel Brooks comedy, "Blazing Saddles" is as much a classic in the UK as it is in the US (and for those film buffs, yes I know the reference was originally from "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"))

Any updates on a patch?

Any updates on a patch?

For the "immediate moment" no, let's say "things are going a bit slow from certain sides" .. I'd love to do certain things, well not immediately now but I'd love to do "one patch to fix them all" but at the moment I still can't ..

Thanks for the update Giles, even if it is disappointing. Anything I can do to help?

No the thing is "technical", I could make at some point a patch "the only thing I can patch" which is trying to sort/give a "small config screen" for the rotary control ( and not sure what else - ah yes the naming of the buttons (*) ) ..

The story of the naming, heck I'll never do anything else like that in my life, lesson learn to me is a MASSIVE PAIN IN THE ARSE to fix cause the way strings are semi-harcoded in the code.

So to have a thing like "IF controller == spinner write "PRess X button to" ELSE write "Press A button to " " .. multiply by 5 languages it's "a supermassive pain in the arse".

I have in part some "translation tables" but still need to be checked in many menus, for all the languages, etc.

About online score boards .. nothing can do so far, I just "repoked" in the "developer's forum" about but sounds like "there's no quick ending" to that story ..

Thank you again for the comprehensive response.

Thank you again for the comprehensive response.

Just to say : yesterday I did send another email to Atari asking for some stuff in regards to some of this.

I'll keep trying ...

Thanks. I wonder why they aren't responsive.

Some of them are very responsive and really helpful HAS to be said

It's "some other side of the things" that so far seems .. "inaccessible" .. it seems it's one of those "it's a complex story" things

Hi Giles, any update you can share on the status of the VCS patch?
