I have seen that before.
Never played it and can't wait  8)
Your wait is nearly over, Conversion is complete and tested on the GX4000. but I just noticed that the Continue needs you to press c... will see if I can patch that before uploading

IK+ is a dodgy format and the trainer has lots of Keyboard options. That one will remain unconverted by me. My target is GX4000 compatibility.


However Buggy boy is done and uploaded.

Sorry about IK+ but it looks like is has been available for awhile, I didn't know that, I normally only check CPC-Power.
I was trying to check what games could be started with the joystick to try and help.  ;D

Cheers for Buggy Boy though.  8)

IK+ has already been dumped to .CPR version a long time ago, look: CPCRULEZ &#9733 AMSTRAD CPC &#9733 GAMESLIST &#9733 INTERNATIONAL KARATE PLUS

Cheers for that, I didn't know.  :)

OK I cannot see how to remap the C to Continue, so you need to complete the game in 1 credit (3 lives)


uploaded anyway.

That IK+ was converted with No$Cart (I guess) and as such does not actually work on a GX4000, so unless @arnoldemu can patch the CPR we are no closer. It does have a lovely loading screen tho.

I play too many games these days with infinite lives or that can't be not finished.
About time I went back to the 80s.

Woot I just did my first disk to cpr and without a gui  8)

It's for the 6128 Plus computer, it's " Chase HQ " it had to be the first game I tried to convert.  ;D

I've just also done " Target Renegade " for 6128 Plus users.  :)

I have also done a couple more games that I hope will also work on the GX4000, these are WEC le Mans and Way of the Exploding Fist  :D

WEC le Mans can be started and played with the joystick no problem  :) just completed the game, no sign of a highscore table.

Way of the Exploding Fist  can be started and played with the joystick no problem, but only 1 player as I believe 2nd player needs keyboard, not sure if there is a highscore table etc.

I hope all these work ok, hopefully I can make more cpr's later now.  ;D

I made a new tool:

http://cpctech.cpc-live.com/download/makesys.zip

Source code included, can build on windows with visual studio 2013. I will build windows exes soon.

Use this tool if you want to make a system/basic cartridge.

Choose your combination of firmware/os, basic and dos and make a cart that can be used on 464plus and 6128plus.
This will save craig catting and splitting files ;)

generated cart doesn't include burning rubber.

so you could choose fw3.1, basic 1.0 and parados if you wanted ;)

I hope the games I uploaded work ok, I can only try in emulation at the moment but they all worked fine with that, hardware should be here any day now  ;D

Do we have to add them to Converted GX4000 games - CPCWiki ourselves or will someone do it?  :)

Also will there be a new section for converted 6128 Plus games with the same sort of layout, like Name, Year, Author, Converted by etc.  :)

I've done a couple more, I hope these work too, they do in emulation, the first is " Paperboy 128k version (music hack) " for the 6128 PLUS.

The second game is " International Karate Plus " hopefully it will work on the GX4000, works on the 464 plus in emulation.

I hope all these get added if they work ok, enjoy  ;D

Would be better if you add them yourself. It's really easy.

When i can i add them, but there are some moments when i will not have the time at all and then they'll be at the risk of being lost in the topic (evenmore if you don't post them in the GX4000 topic when you believe they work on it).

I've never added them before, so will have to look into it, I'd prefer them to be tested first if possible, like I said I should have hardware soon, then I could hopefully just test new stuff and add it myself.

Just an idea, maybe someone could add them whilst we are busy looking for games that can be started and played with just the joystick, as that takes a lot of time, looking at instructions and loading the game to see if it can be started with the joystick, then you have to find a disk that can be converted ok, all takes time.  :o   ;D

Been busy finding another, it can be started with the joystick and you can enter your name in the highscore table, it's " Sorcery " I think you only need the joystick for this game, I've heard it's good but I haven't played it yet.  :D

lol, thought I'd better had, just In case it didn't get done and the games got lost in this thread like you said.  ;)

Not sure where to upload the 6128 plus games though!  ??? you can add them if you know where people want them, cheers  :)

Well, if someone wants to create a page, do it. I don't want to be involved.

But like HFE files, nearly every game for the CPC will make a good cartdrige for the 6128plus, so i think it will be hard to track and store them all, and i think it would be wiser to let the conversion to the users, as soon as arnoldemu will have released his GUI version.

is there a sort of "tutorial" on how to make Cpr files? i could help making some conversion in my spare times

We should add a short manual to the first post of the GX4000 conversions thread.
