Tracker Hero AGA Beta released

[Megaboz]

Excellent!! Great thanks!

I will make another build today supporting the PSX64. The only info left is what signal is sent to the Amiga when strumming, is it Fire 2? or what?

Strum signals are sent to the Pot X register on Paula.  Also, because of the variable nature of the resistance, I usually program in a +- 10 range for reading the values, so 80-100 is rest, 37-57 is strum up, and 11-31 is strum down.  Hope that helps -

Hi Dave, you have the new Tracker Hero release with PSX64 support in your email

[Megaboz]

Let me know too if I can help test it with a PSX64, I can try it out on my A4000 when I get home in a few hours

I tried it out - first off, game looks great, nice job!  The PSX64 support looks like its almost there - in keyboard mode it works fine (e.g. button ordering is correct), but in guitar mode the strum isn't working.  I verified the adapter was putting out the expected pot values and it was.  Let me know if I can do anything else.

Thanks a lot for trying! I made a new build, please download and try it. I hope the strum works now

Yes, I'm using a blizzard 060 to play it. What graphics are affected? Is corruption always present or there are flashes of it?

THIS ADAPTER DOES NOT WORK WITH TRACKER HERO!!!

This adapter ONLY works as a 1-button joystick when used with an Amiga. DO NOT BUY IT FOR TRACKER HERO.

It works with Shredz64 on the Commodore 64, but WILL NOT WORK WITH A GUITAR CONTROLLER ON THE AMIGA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry if I seem a bit upset by this but I've had to put up with so many people telling me that this Shredz64 adapter should work with Tracker Hero, only to have to explain to them that it doesn't sent CD32 signals, only a proper PS2-CD32 adapter like Paul Willingham's or the Appe project on Aminet will work.

If you would like to build the adapter yourself, here are the instructions - http://aminet.net/package/docs/hard/appe_v32

Heh, Amiga_Nut, you went too far back! This is more of a case of Amigans! If you read the whole thread, you get the full picture of what Amigans can do when they act positivly to a situation. Alow me to explain in a wrap up...
 
Cammy: PSX64 doesn't work for this game!
 
Zener: It doesn't?
 
Megaboz : It doesn't?
 
Cammy: No! Several have tried and it deosn't work correctly, please stop telling people to buy it for this game.
 
Zener: Wow! didn't know that, thanks. Hey Megaboz, can you send me the specs for your adapter?
 
Megaboz: Sure! check your PMs.
 
(a few hours later)
Zener: ok, Megaboz, try this build.
 
Megaboz: works except the strum.
 
Zener: Ok. I'm on it.

And all this for a PD game! So thanks all y'all for being so proactive and working together. THIS is what makes the Amiga community so great...

yes the corruption is always present until the game starts.  I attached a photo of the menu screen.

I have the same issue! I get that corruption. I am using a Blizzard 1260 with 040 cpu and a mediator LT4.

[Zener]

Wow, I've seen this issue before. At first sight it looks like a problem setting the display in the menus, I have to take a loot at the code. Seems fixable

The good news is that the strum with PSX64 is already working. It works fine ingame but not on the menus yet.

And more stuff, some videos of the game being played with the PS2 Dance Mat (Paul Willingham adapter)
