Home Page Forums MAME MAME how to run CoCo games

Crazy Painter.CAS seems to work for me with the cocoe (Extended BASIC 1.0) driver
But I am not a expert and Robert can give you more details, I think.

About the cartridges, did you read the softwarelist (coco_cart.xml)?

As Anna stated, Crazy Painter runs with cocoe emulation. It does not with coco emulation messui .135b.
I don't have an owner's manual for this game but expect that it makes use of the Extended Basic ROM for some video routines.

In any case, you should not be getting I/O errors unless you have a bad tape copy. Indicate where you obtained your copy of Crazy Painter.

==========
There are several versions of this game available. One is for the Model I or III and one or two for the Coco.
Apparently one Coco version is auto starting (with a CLOADM) while the one I have is not and requires a CLOADM:EXEC. I have been able to get a good initial screen with coco emulation by reducing memory to 16k, however the game will not play.

Yeah, actually, don't tell us where you got it or I'll be forced to ban you (and Robert for inviting it). But the size and checksum would be useful.

When you say MESSUI .135b, do you mean 0.135? or do you mean 0.153? I'm confused (as usual).

My tested "Crazy Painter.CAS" version.

SHA1: 32c0986f552879bf915e41d5013fd0d73ae3a572
CRC: 38d7c2b8

It seems to work on the dragon32/64 driver too with different mapped buttons to control the game play.

Robbert, my mistake. I should have typed 0.153 .

I have the same SHA1 and CRC(32) as Anna.

OK, I now know I have been trying to run a bunch of bad-dumps, which don't work.
