I just want to say,

If anyone finds a major bug now - II will go looby loo...
and
If anyone keeps quite about a bug - I will go looby loo...

We are close...

Yeah, English is really a funny language ;) I've already read this sentence more than once but I really don't get it.
My question now is: should I still write here if I find a bug? BTW I'll be testing the release version from this evening on.

p.s. Congratulations to you all :)

Two minor bugs spotted in the Eddie's Forest level of the released version.
First: there's an empty (black) tile behind the apple in the lower right corner of the screen. Second: the second branch on the left (from top) of the tree is longer than what it appears, so it looks like Willy is walking on air when going at the end of it...

I'll be going on playing from this evening... well, at least I learnt how to play this game, finally! :D

I gonna think that empty tile was by design rather than a bug, due the apple?

And lucky you normally not jump on that second branch, so that bug is really minor and not effect gameplay at all.

A another little really minor "bug" spotted is on the gameover screen (the screen after Willy got splatted), where there is few black pixels on the top.... But that is soo minor as can get.

Now the game is released these bugs found is soo minor it does NOT effect the gameplay or enjoy of the game at all!

That it :-D

Who ever said I'm a normal player? :D

... btw I do believe even all this minor glitches should be corrected so that when (if) a serious bug would require a new release, these little fixes gets in the final too :)

Of course I enjoy the game enough as it is now :) ... is it possible to have a copy of the double-decker used in the game over screen? SF, did you notice we're sharing and advertising panel there? :D :D (it was so funny to see it, really! :) Thanks!!! )

Ok, the apple was fixed earlier (Stu got there first :) )

The branch is fixed.

There are a couple of other things being done, one is to add a seal to the title screen so that you can see when a level still has a hidden bonus.

hey! yes nice double-decker, did not notice it first time I saw that one. Its many funny objects on that screen too. Only missing is a TV :-D, but can live without that.

I have seen one object started on toe bottom screen (did not reset), and then Willy ran into then and sudddent the object dissappered so it could fall down. I do only see that one once from about 50-60 gameover screens. So again very minor.

You might need to notice for eventuelly very last release the save games might been lost and none of the bugs fixed here would effect gameplay itself.

A great piece of Lobo art..

It should really say "Headsoft" rather than "HK soft", I don't think there was enough room though?

Thanks to 256 tile limit that bus is exactly that much so headsoft couldn't fit, you can't even read 'infectuous' or retrobytes properly due to that.

'Old people' glasses, with bits of hair caught in the hinges and a dried up ring of tears on the lens from when them nasty men cut the Gas off when the bill was not paid.

Almost, but in Tortoise shell and with a dried ring of salt on the lower part of the lens, but pretty close.

downloaded version 1.02 (not seen the firt ones...), EFS, then FAT : neither works on my M3 Real !!!!!
Quite surprising as I played (and am still playing EFS version of Warhawk.)

What have I forgot to do ?!?

You need to grab the latest firmware version, I can state that it works on m3.

In the download page, it has a link for the latest DSTT firmware, this also has firmware for all cards.

Neither FAT or EFS worked on my firmware.
Same thing on latest official firmware, either the one I took on the m3 official page or the one I took on the link you talked about.

With all three of those firmwares, Warhawk, other homebrews and commercial games work just fine.
I'm stuck then !

All I can think of is that the filesize has slipped fractionally over the maximum that the m3 supports.

We have had this with a couple of cards, but firmware updates have sorted that out. So, at the moment, apart from emulation, there is no answer. Sorry!
