      XPost: comp.sys.cbm, rec.games.video.classic       From: rbernardo@iglou.com               Hurrah! I got back to testing out the PAL DTV from the U.K., and       I can now reliably get into the second "secret" screen of the unit.       Thanks to all who have advised me on the various ways to access the secret       screen. I've found that revolving the joystick handle clockwise or       counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise) nearly always gets me into that screen.        As mentioned before in a previous e-mail, the Basic Prompt, Minima       Reloaded, Splatform, DWCave, Cliff Diving, and Tinyrinth are listed on the       second screen. I've tried them out, and they work fine, just as in the       NTSC version. (Ah, nice to have the Basic Prompt with its virtual       keyboard.)        Now that I'm able to get into the second screen, I will see       whether or not the Easter eggs of the NTSC version are present in the PAL       version.              On Fri, 30 Sep 2005, MagerValp wrote:              > Try holding down a combination of A-D buttons instead.               I tried various combinations but never got into the second screen       by that method. However, by holding down the A and the D button, I got       into a "test" screen, which displayed the 16 colors on the left with a       kind of joystick grid on the right with which to test the various       joystick directions and firebuttons (hey, sound effects!).               Truly,        Robert Bernardo        Fresno Commodore User Group        http://videocam.net.au/fcug              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
