New Zealand Story, The [NON-PC]

[quatroking]

Can some body give me the link of this game?

It's got an utter and total lackage of a PC-version without an emulator. Already got the Z80 ASM code of it and will be studying up on it in order to port it over to Dos after my exams. Let's just hope it'll work :whistle:

if it would be any easier, the 68000 amiga version is pretty close to the original, although how you got the code for the arcade version ive no idea!

[Kon-Tiki]

The original Rom (took the Japanese one), then ran it through a disassembler in a Z80 simulator. Arcade version uses a Z80 CPU, hence the code's Z80 too... in this case Z80 ASM, not Basic, thanks to the disassembler. If I had it in Z80 Basic, it'd be easier to port, I guess (or at least easier to read)

ouch! these are the chips in the arcade version
cpu Z80 @ 6MHz
cpu Z80 @ 6MHz
cpu I8X41 @ 0.4MHz <- no idea what that one is, mame doesnt mention it in the screen, but its on MAWS. could be wrong
audio YM2203 @ 3MHz

i dont think there existed a basic that could use 2 z80s?
i dont really understand programming
but i do know z80 is one of the nicer ones for assembler. ive been tempted to try and learn it but i need to find some books

I'll empty my bookmarks for this project here, so you can have a look ;)

The Unofficial TNZS Page (http://www.dei.unipd.it/~epitropo/nzs/) <- This one's got some things wrong on the files

cool thanks!
the kiwi on the flyer from the unofficial tnzs page might end up as my often-threatened kiwi tattoo. if i ever get one ;)
its strange but asm makes more sense to my poor brain than stuff like C ... c is like chinese to me

[Kon-Tiki]

C/C++ makes more sense to me than ASM. Maybe you could translate the ASM to English for me and I translate the English to C/C++? :D

what i really want is a programming language thats as easy as commodore basic 3.5 but compiles for windows xp ;)

Visual Basic :ph34r:

it doesnt have numbered lines :D

10 print "bbc b basic!"
20 goto 10

[Kon-Tiki]

Just did a quick test.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Counter As Integer
Dim Again As String
10 For Counter = 0 To 10
20 * MsgBox ("POO!")
30 Next
40 Again = InputBox("Again?", , Yes)
50 If Again = "Yes" Then
60 *GoTo 10
70 End If
End Sub

This works fine under VB. If you don't believe me, I can always make this thing into a .exe-file, but you'd have a program which exists solely out of a giant button which says Poo, clicking it giving a messagebox saying Poo 11 times.

Still working on creating the possibility to link to it :ok:

[quatroking]

So you have the link?

[Kon-Tiki]

Care to read the posts? Already said twice that there's no such thing as a PC version of The Newzealand Story, yet you keep asking for the link...

[quatroking]

oh, sorry.
but is there not a link to the mame file?!?
(if that so, please give me a link to a emulator too)
