Converted GX4000 .cpr - The topic (repository link in first post)

[iXien]

What about a race game this time, with controls perfectly adapted to the GX4000 2-button joypad by @Urusergi :

750cc GRAND PRIX from Codemasters

Controls:
J1LEFT/RIGHT = Steer left/right
J1B1 = Accelerate
J1B2 = Brake
Pause button = Pause game
Pause button twice = Quit game

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - Patched controls.

The new patch from @Urusergi is for a classic we all played (or tried to play) in a compilation or another :

CRITICAL MASS from Durell

Controls:
J1LEFT/RIGHT = Rotate left/right.
J1UP = Accelerate
J1DOWN = Slow down
J1B1 = Fire

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - Colours on title screen fixed,
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - Modified main menu including difficulty level selection,
    - A version with inverted colours (darkest colour as background)
    - Pokes: Unlimited energy and time.

Cheers everyone!

This week a surprise I found some weeks ago, while strolling through the pages of CPC-Power. Many thanks to @Urusergi for patching this one:

SHUTDOWN from Video Images

Controls:
d-pad = Move
J1B2 = Pause game
Pause button = Quit game

Modifications for this GX4000 version:
    - Wait for fire on title screen
    - Patched keys
    - Pokes: No rise in temperature and unlimited air

Shutdown is a little unreleased game revealed in 2020 in near to total anonymity by its creator. It's fabulous to highlight this kind of hidden gem. More informations about this one (and even a scan of a nice article previously published in CPC-Fanzine) on the CPC-Power page : https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=10012

Ok dudes, another weekend, another game from the magic fingers of @Urusergi  :

SHADOW SKIMMER from The Edge

Controls:
J1B2 = Flip Craft
Pause button = Quit game

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - All keys patched (I/O instead of O/P to keep the game playable with keyboard on PLUS computers) 
    - Green colour display bug fixed,
    - Pokes: Unlimited lives and energy.

A very little one this week-end  :

PLATEFORME from MBC Informatique

Controls:
d-pad = Move your character
J1B1 = Take/Use

No modification required for such a little title. I spent some time on it after its launch, nothing unforgettable but maybe a nice remember for some of us. And you need to ear this music from Charles CALLET

Tenis - Centre Court - conversion by Shacpc

Gamepad version of the GX4000/CPC+ and Spanish translation


The author says that he made this conversion because he found the option of two players with two joysticks interesting, more than anything.

Maybe I make a mistake, but on my GX4000 and on CPCEC, pressing Pause button ("p") doesn't start the demo. And if I launch a 2 player game, I can't control the second player with joypad 2.

Hi, Access to the demo has been corrected. I also realized when reviewing the game again that to exit the demo or the screen you had to use TAB with keyboard: I have changed to J1F1+J1F2. I cannot check the second joystick, since I do not have real equipment now and I work with an emulator that only supports 1 joystick. I have reviewed the lines of code and in principle it should work. The game for 1 player is operational at 100x100. If anyone wants to review this error, I can privately provide you with the .dsk to review the program internally. Thank you very much iXien.

Hi everyone. I have been converting quite a few games to GX4000/CPC+ format in 64k for my personal LiliCPC project that have not yet been posted here on CPR. I'm going to try to add them all little by little and I appreciate that possible errors are pointed out.   :

STRIP POKER ANIMADO from Avila Soft / Knightsoft

Controls:
d-pad = Place your bet
J1B1 = Accept/confirm
J1-Left (1) / J1-Up (2) / J1-Down (3) / J1-Right (4) / J1B1 (5) : Card change election (card number in parentheses)


They are quick conversions, nothing compared to the professional ones carried out by Usergi, for example. But I understand that they are better here than collecting dust on my PC's hard drive

Nice one

Just a suggestion: When you make a poked version, what about a menu to select pokes like we do with Urusergi. Because if some how the text file I insert in the archives Remax upload on the page is lost, we don't exactly know that it is a poked version and what it is offering in details.

Maybe you can quickly convert the original version in French?

The game remains broken sadly   J1F1+J1F2 doesn't work to exit demo mode and you can't control the second player with joypad 2.

@iXien

I will look into doing that, no problem. 

I did include trainer menu's in the past, however I remembered that you wanted them without it, as wanted a clean look to the cprs.
I also included poked versions hidden in a few games to keep them with a clean look, one being " kung fu master " and another " Bug's Quest for Tapes ". 

I fully understand what you mean about not knowing what the poked version is as I came across " Subterranean Stryker " by yourself on the GX4000 converted games page, that includes a normal cpr and a poked version with no description. 

I've also noticed that no keys had been remapped on it, so pause and quit do not work, maybe you could do a trainer menu for that and remap the keys whilst having to do the trainer menu.
