MSXdev'04 entry: Factory infection

Come on, GuyveR800.

I didn't see it as something too offensive, but a little joke (maybe you saw my words too offensive) Chill out, everything's OK ... don't be a bad boy ;-)

He,he. I also got that one.

It's like talking to a little child, saying to him: "Come on, don't be a bad boy". Points to make clear, especially for GuyveR800 (I'm sure the rest didn't take my 'Come on, GuyveR800" offensive):

1-I don't mind 'child' as you were a fool or something pejorative.
2-I didn't say "don't be such an ***". You put those words in my mouth.
3-I have always respected you as a person and as a good coder. I remember having told you so before.
4-My words never tried to be offensive in any way, even if I didn't put any smiley in my message.

If it's not clear in your mind, just tell me and I'll try to explain it again, don't worry.

Come on (again). Just relax. I can't believe we are talking so much about this. Just for saying "Come on, GuyveR800". I can't believe it! I reapeat it, I think you took it too seriously.

I understand that. Don't worry. Everything is OK for me.

Pitpan, your contest is a great success ... It gives you much work . .. It gives me also some work to update the blueMSX rom database !

This time, the magic line to add in the file romdb.dat is :

43F31061 mirrored Factory Infection (2004)(Karoshi Corp.)[43F31061]

Another cool MSXdev'04 entry, I like it!

mars2000you, could you just tell the blueMSX users to check the database file for changes instead of advertising about every change? Maybe you could add a news post at blueMSX site if you see it necessary...

I agree with ccfg that you are advertising blueMSX too much. Sometimes you write several reactions on the same newspost, I think it's better to post these database lines on the blueMSX homepage.

blueMSX users will know where to look for them, and that way people that do not use blueMSX are not bothered with all these useless messages about it.

That said, I think an emulator is BROKEN if it needs a CRC entry in a database to run a MSX game, really...

If you want to continue your discussion about blueMSX, please do so in the forum. These reactions are meant to have your say about the latest MSXdev'04 entry

{mod....} I agree with G on the coloredMSX emu having to update a file with ROM CRC data.. what up with that? (not negative, i love the emu mars!) It's good to see MSXdv having more entries on the faultline..

to be complete; we're talking about runing the ROM to start BLUe, not using BLUE to open a ROM (get it?)

You guys have trouble reading? Latok already asked you to seize the BlueMSX discussion in this MSXDev'04 topic. Please respect his kind question.

Mars2000you - First of all it's indeed quite easy to write a routine where you can split discussions on the forum in two different discussion (deciding when that should be done and when not is in fact the hard part), we might add that functionality in the future though. As for getting discussions started as reactions to the forums, that's a tad more difficult (damn those legacy limitations ;P). I tried to integrate the forums and the reactions in the past, but got too confused somewhere along the line. I might give it another go some other day.

As for people considering your forum posts about BlueMSX (whether you start them or not) as advertising: to a certain extent you are free to advertise on the MRC forums. The memers of Team Bomba can talk about Bombaman, Sunrise about their hardware, webmasters about their websites and emulator developers about their emulators. BlueMSX is no exception in that, we'll let you know when we think things are getting over the top though .

Finally, I think it's wrong to stop posting on the MRC just because there are a few people that you can't get along with. Doing that, you give them what they want, don't you think? Besides, I personallly have the feeling a lot has changed on the MRC recently. The atmosphere on the forums certainly has had more agressive times. Either way, euhm... lets keep any further reactions to this newspost on the MSXdev entry called Factory Infection. If you (and with ' you' I mean everybody reading this) feel the need to discuss things any further, contact us or start a discussion on our forums ;)

And btw when you think this is all about some numbers and letters on a screen !
If some info isn't of any interest for you please disregard it, letters and numbers on a screen aren't harmful and won't hurt or cause severe diseases... i hope...

Factory Infection is a simply game, with a game&watch gameplay. I created the concept years ago, but never worked on it, since a couple of weeks, when I made the entire engine of the game in BASIC. One day working with Robsy in Soukoban, I show him my progress, and he decided to code it in asm for the MSXdev'04. Cool!

The graphics are quite simple: 2 color per character, and cute objects using only one sprite for each one. But the last stages are VERY DIFFICULT, and this is the best thing of the game. If anyone beats the 25 stages, he'll find a graphical ending!!!.

Well, that is my little review about it. Perhaps someday I publish the MSXBasic early version (it was extreeemely slooow). If anyone play this game, your reactions will be appreciated (the good and the bad ones :-D).

Thnx to all.

After this long discussion, I thougt lets try the game (it has to be special if so many people react on it) And I have to say it's addicted ) Allready made it till level 3, and still playing.

I just played the game, and I think it's awesome!
Very good game idea, professional looking graphics and sounds! Keep it up!

Thanx all of you for your reactions!. We will work hard in the rest of MSXdev entries we are working right now for you to enjoy them!. And again, thnx!
