Popeye Release Party!
(español abajo)
Popeye core is finally ready and we are celebrating it with SmokeMonster! Tomorrow night (10 PM eastern USA time) he will show the core on his YouTube channel. He will also play Commando and likely introduce some new beer brands to us ;-)
All $3+ patrons will receive a link to a Google drive folder today. The folder will get filled with the core files for MiSTer and MiST a few hours before SmokeMonster's show so you can get your set ready for the live stream party.
By the way, I made a small donation to JAMMARCADE because of this post they wrote which helped me a lot with Popeye PCB encryption. Of course, this donation is possible because of your support. Thank you!
Let me say thanks to Scralings for introducing this awesome platform game to me. I am very proud to have fulfilled the first request from a Director patron too.
Enjoy!

¡El core de Popeye está por fin listo y lo vamos a celebrar con SmokeMonster! Mañana a las 10 pm (hora de California) nos presentará el core en su canal de YouTube. También jugará a Commando y seguro que nos enseña alguna cerveza nueva ;-)
Todos los mecenas a partir de $3 recibirán un enlace a una carpeta de Google Drive hoy. Unas horas antes del programa de SmokeMonster, pondré en la carpeta los archivos para MiSTer y MiST para que lo tengáis todo a punto para jugar a la vez que la emisión en directo.
Durante el desarrollo me ayudó mucho este artículo de JAMMARCADE sobre la protección de la PCB. Así que he hecho un pequeño donativo a su página. Por supuesto, esto ha sido posible merced a vuestro apoyo. ¡Gracias!
Quería también dar gracias a Scralings por enseñarme este fantástico plataformas. Estoy muy orgulloso de haber cumplido con la primera petición de un director de este Patreon.
¡A gozar!

I’ve uploaded mine ;-)
Thanks so much Jotego!!! I had to travel for work but I brought my MiSTer for down time in the hotel. It’s going to be fun trying to get a high score for the Facebook group.
Core is working fine so far on my MiST. Thanks for the Makefile! The readme says the core needs 15kHz for video out but my monitor is displaying the core very well; it has H:30-82kHz and V:56-76HZ, so all is good :) When Popeye is getting touched and is falling down you can see an opaque black box around Popeye's sprite. Graphical glitch?
It works with my VGA monitor too but it image flickered when I tried on a second screen. So I’m not sure VGA output of MiST beta version will work for everyone. The opaque black box makes for an interesting post. It’s how the game really worked and I’ll explain why on a separate post.
also, the button mapping isn't correct.
Do you mean that buttons do not follow MAME standard? I want to change that for all my cores during next month. They do follow it on MiST versions but not in MiSTer for historical reasons.
Any way to make bob deinterlacing an option?
I tried to turn it off for HDMI output but didn’t work well. I’ll try harder for the public release!
how come some one already has this on youtube? a bit unfair really
SmokeMonster is a patron too :-) I am delivering it at the same time for everyone. His will be a live stream. If you see any video on YouTube before tonight it must be from my own account. It is a priority to me to give patrons exclusive access before public release.
i haven't any file on google drive, just 2 folder empty. ^^
I will fill the folder in a couple of hours. I had to create the folder ahead of time because of my logistics today. Sorry for the confusion
is avatar accompanied with name ?
Yes, the name is shown at the same than the avatar image. The exact way in which the avatar is displayed depends on the specific graphic hardware of the core. For Popeye I may either use the background or the sprites (I haven't decided yet)
Wonderful! おめでとうございます！
ありがとうございます。このゲームを再現できて本当に楽しかったです。
Are the Patreon supporters on the pause screen and in the release notes?
Yes, they are. All patrons who were in the +$10 tier at the time of the original Popeye post are listed on the pause screen. Avatars are not ready yet, they will be for the public release. The Commando beta did not have a proper pause screen (it didn't even pause the game) because I sent the beta before the end of the month, which is when Patreon provides the information with patrons for that post. I will have the list from Patreon probably on Monday. I sent the beta earlier to make up for the delay of the Popeye release. I am still sorry the Popeye paid post was so early.
Congrats to the release! Looking forward to test it. Popeye for nes was one of the first nes cartridges i ever owned as a kid. I wished it for my birthday after playing the arcade at a skiresort. Never played the arcade version since. :)
I'm not sure if it comes in time for your next Birthday but I hope you will enjoy it the same. :-)
Our money at work. Excellent!
Genial! Eres un crack. Enhorabuena :-)
Muchas gracias Oscar. :-)
