Hi. Please may I buy a rom of the other Rocket Panda game – I tried contacting Mega Cat Studios – and was told to contact you for a rom. I really want to play this game in particular. I don’t have any original hardware but wish to play the game. Please tell me how I can buy a rom of that game (the 'luna lander type game sold physically under Mega Cat Studios.
Please reply – waiting to buy that rom.
Any chance for another physical release? XD
Not for this one.. hopefully others coming soon though.
Okay, I have a request, so forgive me if I am asking a big favor, but I promise I mean well. My wife and I were enjoying the bit jam version of this game on our MegaSD cart and it was working great. Since releasing versions 2 and 3, we can't load the rom anymore. We are getting an "invalid header" warning. So, I reached out to the MegaSD support and they had this to say: "I kinda doubt changing the header will fix it. Likely a mapper thing." So, if you could take a look and see if there is something you can do, and we can play this on our MegaSD cart again, I'll definitely drop $20 for it. Thanks and sorry for the long post.
Argh, that's crazy :) This is very strange. I think that the updated version worked for some people, when it didn't work before.. and both worked for me on my hardware.
I will try to fix this, of course. I don't understand the mapper thing at all, there's nothing about it in the ROM headers, as far as I can see. Could you try the latest version of Gun Slugs and see if that works for you? https://spacepantsgames.itch.io/gun-slugs
Will do. I don't understand the "invalid header" error either. I messed with the rom with a couple of utilities but I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand the code. I can say that the MegaSD (with updated firmware) has a very good reputation for compatibility. I have about 465 games on there, not counting Sega CD and I rarely have an issue. Otherwise I wouldn't be bugging you. :) That said, I really appreciate you taking one more look at it. And congratulation on winning first place in the jam.
Hi!
I updated this one again, if you'd like to try it out. Same fixes that I did on the other games. Really hope this one works :)
awesome. I'll test it out right away.
Space panda is now working perfectly on the MegaSD, so as promised, I bought it! :D I'm curious what you did to all three of your games to fix them? Maybe it's too technical to go into detail, but I'm glad you found a fix.
Nice game !
