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

[iXien]

As we don't have a new .cpr conversion this week, here is a conversion of a nice Christmas game "Haggie" by A. Chapman and with graphics: R.A. Waddilove, published in Spain in the magazine Microhobby Amstrad Semanal. It is a game that could have been distributed commercially and it is worth playing a few games.

HAGGIE (Santas Grotty) from Hobby Press

Controls:
d-pad left/right = Move
J1B1 = Float

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - The table of records now no longer needs the keyboard,
    - With the joystick we can move around in the presentations and instructions,
    - All game keys patched,
    - Arranged the text on the screen,
    - Cheats: selector of: unlimited lives & time.

I made this game available a while ago in some group, but yesterday I fixed a small bug with the infinite time.

Yes, I was very bussy this weekend. When you are in holidays with kids, don't forget to make the difference between rest and holidays  News will come soon from us. But I love when I discover new conversions too

For this long week-end, here is an Ocean game that was missing on GX4000 and that lot of us played back in the days, in France most often in the compilation "La Collection" :

COSMO POLICE GALIVAN from Ocean

Controls:
d-pad = Move Galivan
J1B1 = Fire
Pause button = Pause/unpause game

Modifications for the GX4000 version :
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - Music on title screen (rather than on a black screen),
    - All game keys patched,
    - Poke: infinite energy.

Many thanks to @Urusergi for this clever patch, particularly concerning the music that don't play on a black screen anymore

And here is a new patch from @Urusergi of a game from Hewson surprisingly never converted before:

MAZE MANIA from Hewson

This is a simple spaceship and shooting game from prolific programmer Ángel García Delgado, who recently participated in the Amstrad Eterno fair.:

And here is a new patch from master @Urusergi. I don't know about you, but personally I never saw this one outside of different compilations from Ubi Soft, here in France, but I love the music and the game is fun to play  :

THE MUNSTERS from Again Again

I converted the title screen from the C64 to replace the awful mode 1 screen inherited from the Spectrum version

Controls:
J1B1 = Fire
Pause button = Pause game

While game is in pause:
    - J1B1 = Resume game
    - J1B2 = Quit game
    - Pause button = Turn on/off music

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - New title screen based on the C64 one
    - All game keys patched,
    - Pokes : infinite energy.

A very little one I found working on GX4000 :

KRISTAL from C.O.R.E.

An nice conversion (clearly a plagiarism, to be honest ) of a game created for the TI-99, named Dark Crystal. I like the idea that remembers the addiction for a simple but effective concept of the arcade games of the second generation .

Here is a new one, coming from the Atari 8bit systems if I'm correct. Many thanks to @Urusergi that patched it smartly, even managing to patch the ingame cheat mode. This little gem is:

JET-BOOT JACK from English Software

Controls:
J1B1 or J1B2 = Crouch
Pause button = Quit game

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - All game keys patched,
    - Main menu instructions modified
    - Original cheat mode : infinite live pressing up+left simultaneously on main menu

A new weekend is, as usual, time for a new patch from @Urusergi :

TERMINUS from Mastertronic

Controls:
Pause button = Quit game

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - 7 colours title screen from the original ZX-Spectrum game,
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - All game keys patched,

Yes, once again we added a new titlescreen that was missing, using color breaks to display more than 4 colours on screen

Wahoooooooo!!!!!!... Ahem, I was just saying: It was really a nice idea 

[Egg Master]

Amazing idea!

What is this yellow cartridge inside the GX4000? (hum... nice CD32... and CDTV)

Amazing idea!

What is this yellow cartridge inside the GX4000? (hum... nice CD32... and CDTV)

The yellow cartridge is my C4CPC. At the beginning the shell was white

As you can see, I love all these unloved consoles. In a gaming room, the CDTV is the best Amiga ever. And the CD32 is perfect for the few nice AGA games on CD. Beneath the CDTV is a CDi  And of course the GX4000 is the new way for me to play CPC games

Hi guys, just to remember to everyone that the "Converted GX4000 Software" page on CPC Wiki has been created and is maintained by @remax . Many thanks not to add games by yourself on the page, we make updates one time a year to be sure to maintain the layout, text rules, compressed file format, etc.

Ok, so we continue with another one from @Urusergi :

I, BALL from Firebird

Controls:
d-pad = Move your ship
J1B1 = Fire
J1B2 = Smart bomb
Pause button = quit game

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - Title screen from the C64 version of the game, recolored by iXien,
    - Wait for fire on title screen,
    - All game keys patched,

And if we patched I, BALL, of course master @Urusergi patched :

I, BALL II from Firebird

Controls:
J1LEFT/RIGHT = Move your ship
J1UP = Bounce
J1B1 = Fire
J1B2 = Smart bombs
Pause button = Pause/unpause game

Originally, down direction on the joystick was used to fly, what was a terrible decision that partially ruined the gameplay. We hope you'll enjoy that this function has been moved to fire button 1 after moving the smart bomb release on fire button 2.

Modifications for the GX4000 version:
    - Unuseful options removed from main screen,
    - All game keys patched,
    - Pokes : Infinite lives and time, super bounce feature
