 Escape from Raka-Tua +4

This is my proper first C64 conversion. Csabo missed one adventure from Mountain Valley Software

Just got a chance to have a quick look at it now. Nice one again and the window GFX is neat. Good use of the chars and colours. happy

Wonder if C128 has anything to offer, I mean anything basic language on 264 will run on a C128 without too much trouble, like wise around the other way as long as it's coded in BASIC.

...Wonder if C128 has anything to offer, I mean anything basic language on 264 will run on a C128 without too much trouble, like wise around the other way as long as it's coded in BASIC...

Since Sixteen Plus converted the game from C64 to Plus/4, it's original C64 code will run on any C128, probably in C64 mode. There's nothing to do to play "Escape from..." on a C128

Any Commodore basic code certainly will run on a C128 machine, excepted the typical 264 basic commands which are related to sound and graphics. Lots of PEEKs and POKEs will be necessary to colour & sound-convert anything coded for a 264 machine to run on a C64/C128.

The more colours and sound effects exceeding primitive "beeps" are to be converted, the better a straight conversion in ASM will be.

Reg's,
Hans.

Running a C64 game on a C128 via C64 mode is not the point I was getting at. happy

The Commodore C128 BASIC 7.0 comes partly from 264 BASIC 3.5 and a number of commands are shared that will not work on a C64. If the code is basic enough, simple, it will run on either a C128 or Plus4 without doing anything. wink


Here are my very words and download file I put together for C16/Plus4 ClassiX many, many years ago. The programs will run on both 264's and a C128 in 128 mode.

Very nice! I added it to the database and to the series.

I think when I converted those #11 wasn't available, or it wasn't listed on whichever site I found. Mine are compiled with AustroSpeed (you can see this under the "Code Type" field, instead of "BASIC" or "Machine Code" it says "AustroSpeed").

Cheers Csabo, but happy to say that you can update it now.

I had some headaches with some of the code last night and this morning, but now it's finally done. You can check to see what fixes I did in the link below

I'll amend the link at the top too.

I realised earlier it was Austrospeed so I downloaded it. Great utility.

Looking at the code, it appears to me that it converted BASIC to plain ML.
Also a little bit confused. Does austrospeed compile or decompile?
