Is it anygood? Has anyone played it?
Err what the hell is an FDS? Sounds rare?

I can't get it up and running because I don't have a FDS bios or whatever?

Plz discuss thnx

[jajaja]

FDS stands for Famicom Disk System. Im pretty sure the NES emulator "FCEultra" can play FDS games, check it out :)

The game also looks kinda cool, atleast with 2 player.

THNX very much jajaja I still think I need the bios though. :D

[jajaja]

Ye it seems so hehe. I tried a FDS image now and the gfx was fucked up and it said battery error.

[Ackman]

I hope it isn't a fake? Site is kinda dodgy? Try another emu then maybe?

:(

[jajaja]

Where is the ROM btw? I didnt find it on the site.

[Ackman]

Right on the end of that web page it should say resurection, click on that you should dl a patonkun.zip file.....

Erm you don't know where to get the bios huh? plz?


Keep me updated, thnx ;)

[jajaja]

Tnx, found it now :)

Here is the BIOS btw: Link (http://gbaemu.dcemu.co.uk/unnfamicom.shtml) (file is called disksys)

This game kinda reminds me of Armor Battle for the Intellivision. LoL

Tnx, found it now :)

Thnx Boss so what do you think?

4 players WHOO, HOO this is going to be great.

I didnt try it earlier because i didnt find out how to flip the disk in FCEultra hehe. I found out now and i tried both FCEultra and NESten. GFX seems alittle fucked up most likely because its running more than 8 colors on 1 line. The controllers are wierd (atleast with keyboard). The concept is pretty funny tho :) Its like Tank Bomberman.

[rbudrick]

So what peripheral did the Japanese folks use to get the other two controllers connected, since the FC controllers were hardwired. I assume they had to use the 15 pin front expansion port?

I came across this game in my emulation performance testing. If you know how to compile NESterDC v7.1 for the Dreamcast, and know how to get FDS games working with it, it plays nicely on the Dreamcast. (Do NOT PM me about this, I will not help you, I don't have the time right now) Never thought this was an official release though so it never became part of my testing archives.
