Hello all,

I managed to get my A.D. running a few weeks ago and during that time playing it, I've come to the conclusion that my game has the harder A.D. roms I've read about. It is impossible for me to get past round 3. The mother ship that breaks into the other smaller ships is so fast they're on me before I can turn around!

Anyone know where I might be able to get a burned copy of the easier A.D. revision roms for my game? I looked at Hobbyroms.com but did not see anything on there about A.D.

Thx for any info.
Tom

Did you email Steph at hobby roms? I'd bet he can hook you up ;)
 
I didn't even know there was easy or hard roms - this should have a difficulty setting on the dip switches, have you checked those?

Yep, sure did. Even so, I would think it would have been the later revision boards that would have been selectable since the hard roms came first, and the easier roms came later. Mine has the more difficult roms - probably an earlier boardset.

Thx though.

Mine is dip switchable from easy to hard and vice versa. Mine was originally on hard. Let me find the bulletin on this...

I have included the PDF for ASTEROIDS DELUXE, that's what I am talking about.

Ignore that first thing I posted, that was wrong. The PDF is right.

Understood. I have blocked it from my memory, much like the time I walked in on Fritz singing karaoke into a Mr. Microphone made of skin and hair. His song choice was terrible.

I checked mine and my test mode doesn't have the five digits above the ship display, so it looks like I have the early "harder" roms. I guess I'll just have to take Lyons advice and play until I rock! ;)
 
I had one a while back that had the updated roms. The guy I got it from said you could switch it with a dip switch. I never messed with the dips, didnt have the machine very long.
 
Well, looks like that is what I'll have to do - non-switchable original roms.


I've sent a message to hobbyroms to see what he says about whether he can supply them.
