Yodajr, there is a bug in one of the first menu screens:

When there's a saved game, I get the choice of a new game or continue the saved game. When I go down to mark "continuer" I cannot select up again, i.e. I am locked with "continuer"...

Also, a couple of minor requests regarding the key assignments:

At the first menu screen I have to press Start to continue to the next screen. Could you change the control (not the graphics), so that it's possible to press either Start or A to continue? (similar to most other GBA games. It's more natural to many users to press A)

Also, in the two next menu screens (new game/continue, and normal/easy), could you make it possible to select the menu items with either Start (as it is now) and A. Again, this would make it similar to most other GBA games, and it's more natural to many users to press A.

Finally, I realize that you spent a lot of time making the intro screen. However, as it plays each time you start a new game, it gets a bit annoying to wait for it to finish each time! I know that you can press A to speed up the text plotter, but could you also define the Start key to skip the rest of the entire intro, to go to the game? Same as in many other GBA games.

Thank you in advance

Ok CoNS, can you download again the game ?

L+START while pausing, i'm in love now, thanks soOo meutch yoda

Ok, I finally got the cheats to work! For future reference, here's how: Go to the options/pause screen by pressing Start inside the game. Press Select+R to enable passage to the next level (to the right at the screen), or Press Select+L to get an extra life.

Thanks very much, yodajr.

Found two small bugs, though:

1. It is no longer possible to select "Continuer". Could you assign Start and A for this, like the other menu choices?

2. When pressing Start in the intro screen 1 it stops and starts writing intro screen 2 text on top of the first text. Actually, I kinda liked the way it was before, when you could speed up the text plotter function by pressing A. But what I said in my post above was that it would be very nice also to be able to skip the intro with a single click (could then be Start key, instead of A key as it is now?).

Also, I have to requests regarding the save function:

1. Currently you are saving level number and number of lives left. Could you also save the score?

2. I would really love if you could change the way the saving works in general. It would be great to have an option in the pause/options screen simply saying "Save game". And then no auto-saving should be done when winning a level, and no auto-cleaning of save game should be done when game is over. The continue game function in the first menu should be left the way it is now.

Finally, if you get bored some time you *could* consider adding a highscore screen, with the 10 or 5 highest scores. Thus, you could reserve a part of the save game to be dedicated to highscores. But I realize that this would require some new code for the user to enter his name or initials, A-Z and 0-9, which you may not want to code...

[Yodajr]

For the bugs, I fixed them (I hope)
I did my best, I can't change more the code of intro without restart all the thing, and I don't really want to...

For the save, it's a choice. It don't save the score, you cannot choice when you want to save, and the save is erased at "game over"&"continue", I wanted these things. Sorry, I will never change that

Finally, for the "hall of flame", like you said, I don't really want to code new things for this game... when you spend 10 months on the same things, you want to move on...

PS : for your mail, please try to understand my post above, it isn't a translation problem (of course, because the originals texts was in english) but a programmation problem

[CoNS]

Thanks for fixing the bugs. It works fine now. I will send you a copy of the fixed rom patched for EZ4 by mail.

I can understand your position about the saving and highscore.

However, about the "translation": I had a look at the source code and I understood your point in the first post above. That's why I gave it a try with the "programming" of the text, cf. the .txt file I sent to you by mail last Tuesday. Did you check if it worked?

What I meant was that if my attempt of "translation" or "programming" of the intro and end text worked, I could do the same to the menu texts for you.

Like "FACILE" in the third menu screen should be changed from:

ham_SetMapTile(1,11,11,0);
ham_SetMapTile(1,12,11,6); //FACILE
ham_SetMapTile(1,13,11,1);
ham_SetMapTile(1,14,11,3);
ham_SetMapTile(1,15,11,9);
ham_SetMapTile(1,16,11,12);
ham_SetMapTile(1,17,11,5);
ham_SetMapTile(1,18,11,0);
ham_SetMapTile(1,19,11,0);

to:

ham_SetMapTile(1,11,11,0);
ham_SetMapTile(1,12,11,5); //EASY
ham_SetMapTile(1,13,11,1);
ham_SetMapTile(1,14,11,19);
ham_SetMapTile(1,15,11,25);
ham_SetMapTile(1,16,11,0);
ham_SetMapTile(1,17,11,0);
ham_SetMapTile(1,18,11,0);
ham_SetMapTile(1,19,11,0);

and so on... I don't know how to compile the code into a working .gba rom, and so I can't really do the changes myself.

[Yodajr]

Hoo sorry, I didn't see that you had already do ALL the job !
I thank that you had just translated the text in a .txt, sorry again

So yes, your intro/end work great !
It only missing the "in-game" text and you will have your full english version of Arkanoid Advance

[CoNS]

Just in case someone else comes along in the future looking for an English version, I am happy to inform you that Yodajr has now compiled a fully translated English version of this nice homebrew game.

Dunno if he's gonna update the first post with links for it...

Je trouve ce jeu et ce portage EXTRAORDINAIRE !

Une question me brûle les lèvres :

A quand Arkanoid II "the revenge of doh"

[Yodajr]

Merci

Par contre, à ta question : jamais (en tout cas pas par moi )

[Arcadia]

Ce serait un excellent projet pour la DS en tout cas, en exploitant les deux écrans pour redonner toute sa dimention à ce jeu, et pour controler la souris avec le stylet.

[Yodajr]

Vi c'est une idée, exploitez la
J'ai encore moins envie de coder sur DS

[Famicom]

Dommage, ça m'aurait donné enfin une occasion d'acheter la DS

[Arcadia]

La DS, j'ai eu du mal à m'y faire, mais j'avoue que je trouve cette console excellente depuis que je l'ai (1 mois ), et c'est pas les homebrews dignes d'intêret qui manquent. Mais en ce qui concerne le codage, je suis comme toi Yodajr, je n'arrive pas à me passer de la GBA.

A mes temps perdus je suis DJ (mon pseud' est David Guild) et Il y a quelque temps j'avais remixé la musique du tableau des scores du jeu ARKANOID (version C64) agrémenté de Crazy-frog, de Da-Mutz et d'un soupçon d'Ann lee.

Ce mix avait eu son petit succés sur Radio-Flam 90.6 FM

Bonne écoute
