Aldynes Enhancement
« on: October 26, 2016, 08:57:35 AM »

I'm sure not too many people know of this since it was hardly broadcasted, but MIJET has/is working on a bugfix patch of sorts for Aldynes and is looking for feedback.

Incidentally, he's looking for other buggy games to work on to improve them. If anyone knows of any, feel free to let him know.

I've never encountered freezing in Aldynes myself, and he doesn't specify exactly where the enhancements are and what to look for.  I don't think he'll have much success with collecting reports from people at this rate.

Before we bombard him with lots of random stuff, we should compile a list of candidates:

(1) Order of the Griffon: music stops playing during battles

(2) MotoRoader MC --double-tapping direction PAD is lame mechanic for special items/weapons

I'd be interested in trying this. I get no freezing with a real Hucard, but frequent (once an hour?) freezing with a TED 1.0. If this claims to address that particular problem, it would give me a great excuse to play the game again, which I honestly think is one of the best horizontal shooters ever. :D

Wow! MIJET working outside a 68k based system. Never thought I'd see the day.

I can't say I've ever experienced any freezing in Aldynes when I played through the real Hucard a few years back.  I haven't tried loading it on the TED though.  I'd be interested to know specifically where freezing might occur.

Back 10-15 years ago, I never experienced any freezing for any of the SuperGrafx games.

I played Aldynes *A LOT* because I couldn't beat the final boss (lightning?)... I got really good at dodging lighting plus missiles...

As much as I love that game; totally agree. The graphics are Genesis gritty.

If they changed that awful title screen I would have been happy. Why can't the logo at least be like the box art?

To be honest, I thought one of the messages of the intro was that the planet got attacked/damaged/destroyed, so the blackness is thick smoke, with a polluted sky above it.  I think that light grey and blue sky is out of place and far too cheerful for what I assume happened in the storyline.
