Just found an old link to first XRick port for Smartphone. It runs fine in my Mio 8380. Good luck guys! :wink:

This works ace on the MPX200 as well - no more screen flipping or loss of gun/crawl. Use the '1' key instead of toggling the 'volume up' control. It is very fast and there is no sound but according to BIGORNO, this gets around the blue jewel bug and besides, who wants sound in the middle of the team meeting anyway?

:)

after playing I've not yet found any way to save the game...now where is the last developer?

[Guest JPo_23]

Seeing as the SPV E200 rom update has come out and it hasn't solved the stick issue - any chance of an update to allow us E200 users to crawl in this game. I can't get past about the 3rd screen. All it needs is duck assigning to one of the unused keypad buttons...

There's a new version for MPX200 & E200 here :

Thanks for this version. I am using the O2 xPhone (also an HTC phone) which has the same 4-way controller problem. This version solves that. However, the 'portrait' graphics are not as nice as the landscape version, so it would be nice to be able to play the game in landscape mode with the 'crawl' button. However, you can't 'bake your cake and eat it' :-)

So thanks for the hard work, now I can also start playing rather than being stuck on the 3rd screen.

Cheers

The PC version by BIGORNIO is portrait too. It makes for a more interesting game, as you do not know what is around the corner! :D

[Guest steeevc]

wee finaly managed to get throug the castle, but this misile level is really hard.

//Mobile NederSoren

Arghh.. I've just arrived at the first level of the castle and I keep getting shot by the first blokey you come across - whats the trick to getting down the ladder before the bullet hits you?

[Guest DingsDaT]

Does it run on an 8390?

[Guest skyline_gtr]

uhhh does this game run on the mio 8380?

i isntalled it and it loads fine but i cant get anywhere from the main menu

i tried pressing all the keys but only the * key works but it exits the game....any thoughts?

thx

[Guest ronswens]

Look at my post above. It has a link to a version that run on Mio8380

[Guest nirvanafan1982]

Maybe I'm missing something, but after installing the cab and running the game, none of the buttons work except for the * key, so all I can do is look at the homescreen and see the high scores.

Can someone offer some help? I'm playing the game on a samsung i600 (unlocked)

[Guest astuermer]

XRick doesn't run on a ARM PXA262 CPU with WM2003 SE... will it be fixed?

[Guest spark-x]

Runs on a C500 but can't move beyond the opening screen - up voume doesn't seem to start the game -- any one got any ideas? this game looks great !

Ditto...

# flips the screen, * quits the game - that's about all the fun you'll have trying to get it working on a C500 :)

[Guest Jakster]

Same here :) would love to show the c500 off with this game

Anybody working on this one?

[Guest Arisme]

Yup, I wanted to use it on the C500 for a demo too, that's why I modified it :wink:

Here are the new exe and the modified source code (not much to do, basically the main problem was with the event code which was going too fast on the C500 thus missing keys and of course our marvelous joystick :roll:)

New keys to solve the multi-keypress problem

4 : up

6 : down

8 : left

2 : right

5 : fire (same key combos as volume-up before)

I don't think I'll update it anymore as I just need it for a demo, don't hesitate to play with it if you want (even if you're not French 8))

[Guest euphoria3k]

Arisme where's the link for xrick to run on c500! im in desperate need to play this game!!!

Cheers

[Guest spud693]

forgive me if this is a stupid question but is there any way to change the key bindings?

[Guest Raven001]

Wow, thank you so much Arisme. Now I can play on my 5600 ! :)

euphoria3k, use the original XRickV3 cab file found at the beginning of this thread. Then, replace the files in the StorageProgram FilesXRick Dangerous folder with those in Arisme's ZIP file. Hope it helps...

[Guest nutter]

I too have problems playing on my c500. I installed the original XRickV3 cab and replaced it with Arisme's files and was able to get past the first screen.

Only problem is when playing the game laying dynamite or firing the gun is pretty much impossible, at least if you want to actually hit somebody. Holding vol up + 4 only makes rick jump and vol up + 6 just duck. Its possible to fire gun/lay dynamite but only if I keep pressing the buttons repeatedly for some time. So I've yet to get past the second guy, which takes out some of the fun.

It seems like a great game but it would be nice if the c500 bugs could be fixed.

[Guest MPXtricky]

...grab the source, install the free MS SDK and change the key settings in the source yourself to whatever you like. Then just click to compile and link the thing into an executable. It's really easy - even I managed to do a 'keys how I like 'em' version for my Moto and I don't even code in embedded VC++ - only mainframe PL1 and Cobol - anyone remember them? :))

[Guest PeterMAdeira]

I played this at the weekend on my STe after FAR too many beers. I'm happy to say that after three trial runs I managed to finished levels one, two and half of three before losing all of my lives. Not bad considering I hadn't played the game in ten years! Unfortunately I then forgot to add the ST cheat code "Pooky" and so I got sent back to level one instead of starting from the Nazi castle. Still, we live and learn.

I absolutely love that someone has ported this to the smartphone, but I cry that, with the original V3 I can't start the game at all and under Arisme's version I can only move up, down, left and right, but not combination of these, and I can barely fire or set dynamite. Also, it's still WAY faster than the original ST version on my SPV c500.

Please, please someone fix these - I'll love you forever!

[Guest Newk]

thanx Arisme, i can play it now (couldnt get past the titlescreen too on my spv c550)

could you please fix the # key too to be able to flip the screen?

Thanx for bringing back memories to my new phone.

I played this game on my amiga for weeks, somewhere begin 90's... got stuck on that same spot as that videofeature (in this thread) of that egyptian level... but managed to get across that and somehow finished it to move to the great sequel Rick Dangerous II.

( any plans for that one stuff? :) )

but the 4-way joystick on my phone sux big time... it's weird!... my old joystick had also only 5 microswitches.... the phone somehow forbids 2 buttons to be pressed at the same time.. wich is odd for a joystick... anyway to fix this in windows? (reg maybe?)
