Wow, it looks really cool. Now the only thing I need is a 83+SE....

O_O  Wow, that looks even faster than before.  Congrats xlibman and CDI!

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 26, 2006, 09:27:00 am
this is SE speed btw, I captured at that speed because if I captured at 83 speed since in the file description it says its SE only ppl would think the game would run very slow even on SE X_X

Would you mind if I redirected some people from a metroid site to here?  I know people who would be clamoring to see this.  (I could also give you the site if you wanted.)

Keep in mind this game wouldnt have happened if it wasn't for CDI's metroid, which inspired me a lot to revive my old Diortem project, and some stuff that were in metroid are in metroid II: Evolution :)smile.gif

and without your support I doubt it would have survived very long

I tried to run this, but I got an error.  After loading all the programs in, and installing xlib, I ran program A.

Goto points to the Asm(prgmXTEMP000 line, but I checked the RAM, and that program does exist.  I've tried clearing the RAM and reinstalling the ram files and xlib, but the same error happens.  Any idea what's wrong? :huh:huh.gif

I was using the xlib version that you included in the download here.  And I had nothing other than this program in the RAM.

please specify the calc OS as well, the game has only been tested on TI-83+ OS 1.12, 1.14 and TI-83+SE 1.14 and 1.18

wow, great game Xlibman! I am very impressed by the speed, it even runs fast enough to be playable on a black 83+, great job :thumb:thumb.gif btw, i think that you should make a walkthrough like in Zelda:Dark Link Quest, :Ptongue.gif i'm havin a hard time on the game as it is, lol,  i can't even get past the first are, hint? :Ptongue.gif

Edit:btw the game works perfectly on 83+ OS 1.17 :)smile.gif Compwiz, make sure you have the right xlib, the one that saids "v 0.601b" on the top left corner of the screen. Also that you installed all the files. Also xlibmam, in the game, if you don't have a saved file, and try to load one it'll crash  ;)wink.gif

Thanks for the support, I dunno about a walkthrough for now tho, I might work on one and have the entire map included but that may be more a side Omnimaga forum project, as it would be a forum section dedicated to calc games walkthroughs, and it would require a minimum amount of posts to be accessed, the post amount would depend of the game. :)smile.gif The way I would set it would exempt all staff and elite members from the minimum post count tho, it would be only required for the regular members and guest would need to register to see the categories

yeah I saw in his IRC channel topic he put that here at top of page good to hear at least. CompWiz must have problems with his calc. maybe he should reset all archive memory as well in case something messed up his calc

The wait is well worth the effort, as it will be continuelessly downloaded for years to come. I believe this is a great thing you have completed, as I was one who was really sadden by the death of diortem. But all is good, as you have come back and revived a game of such into greatness. I hope to see only more powerful and wonderess things from you Kevin for years to come.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 04, 2006, 01:00:00 am
I must admit it's CDI's metroid xLIB which inspired me again to revive diortem. However I was too depressed at that time, which is why it took me several months before restarting working on the game, I must admit I also wanted to wait at my work vacations before working on such project. I'm glad I finished it tho XDsmiley.gif and I hope lot of ppl will like it ^^

and nice to see you again kalan_vod ^^ btw as you have been a great supporter in the past year even though you havent been here during the time I worked on the game you still made it to the credit section of the readme and the game itself ;)wink.gif

It is summer time, many still have school or work. So we just have to be patient for a little while longer.
Title: Metroid 2: Evolution finished
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 04, 2006, 09:53:00 am
yeah, plus some ppl might be away for the entire summer. I still think if a staff neeeded to be aweay for a long while he should warn the admin or the other staff so someone else can replace him during that time and the others know what happened >.<
