I posted on Lemon64.com

Noone seems to care right now.

They're probably still trying to figure out how to install a PCE Emulator.

Right after they are done googling what a PC Engine is.

Indubitably.

Its the one thing that the C64 scene has going against it.

They're all pretty smart, but are a bit willfully ignorant/doofy about anything that doesn't have a big stupid C= or Amiga boingyball slapped on it.

yeah but you have to know what a PC Engine is to get that fired up.  :D

I've actually had a few C= dudes tell me the C64 is superior to the PCE because of various nonsense details.   

Crazed, blind loyalty! :D

Yay, a diskmag for PCE! Do you plan for future issues? This one is full of great information; I certainly hope for more  =P~

The special effects are perfect. That title sequence is so cool! And I love the copper bars overlap--nice touch. Not to mention the,  ah, "Courageous" easter egg, which made me grin like a kid again when I finally figured out what I was seeing on my tiny TV screen. Hehe

Fine quality, as usual, Mr. Covell :clap: Well done, indeed!

Hi Chris

Great work on the diskmag :-)  Just having a look at it now and I like what I see so far.

Brings back some memories of diskmags on the Amiga, especially Grapevine.

Can anyone tell me if they got my demo running on Gameofyou's flash card, either my 1st release ROM, or the one padded to 2M ( http://www.chrismcovell.com/data/CMC_Courage_2M.zip )?

Cabbage, Superplay: thanks for your comments!

I got the initial ROM working on gameofyou's flashcard fine.
Second time I started it up I had to switch off and on a couple of times, but no issues beyond that.

Hey Chris, I downloaded the 2M version and at first I couldn't get it to work, but I checked the "bit swap" box in the Flashcard app and played it in my region-modded TG16 with the switch set to "Japan" and it started right up.  I don't have the time to tinker with it, but maybe the issue I'm running into has to do with the card or the software or the gremlin in my console. 

Regardless, I was able to get it to run and it's awesome!  The rotating-looking graphics along the top are sweet, as is the hidden Keith Courage level.

The font is kind of hard to read, but some color combinations definitely make it easier.  I can't wait for the next episode!
