Pinball Magic 2024 (WIP)

[Jean-Marie]

I found a way to make it work correctly with AMSPIRIT emulator. You need to edit the AmspiriT_Config.txt file.
Search for the line MAPPING_CLAVIER=1; and replace its value with 0. This will allow us to use the SHIFT key.
Search for the line PROTECTED_DISK=1;  and replace its value with 0. So that the redefined keys can be saved to disc.

Hello and thanks for the game.
I will try it this week on real machine.
I see a great effort has been made on music and I want to tell how much I appreciate that.

I only play Pinball Magic on Atari ST a long time ago. I just remember I liked the sampled sounds of real pinball machine used in this game.
I don't owne the GX4000 cartridge so I've never played with + version.
I tested this CPC version yesterday and it's very nice. I like to have music and sound FX as it's really well managed.

I just wonder if Titan would like to add one of his wonderful splash screens to push the enhancement to the max.

Thank you for your feedback! To be fair, credits should go to CNGsoft who patiently convert musics to his CHP format. Although I did the SFX, and I'm quite happy with them It took me some time to get to grips with CHIPNSFX tracker, but all in all that was quite fun.
I thought about a loading screen, still the main program quickly blackens the screen as it sets up the game palette at the very start. But I could probably change that I guess.

Latest version (v4) featuring various optimizations in Collision detection.
