Hummer DTV Games

Joystick Games for the Hummer

As most already know by this point, the hummer only has 3 usable joystick lines, and 1 of those 3 is from a different port. So that means playing games on the hummer is just about useless unless the game can be operated from the keyboard. As most games for the C64 were designed for the joystick, this eliminates 99% of C64 compatible games. However, it is possible to wire up a joystick to the Hummer's userport. The only problem is that software is not designed to look for a joystick on the user-port. So to remedy this, games must be "patched" to work with the user-port.

This is the basic idea for making a joystick port on your user-port. Essentially, the joystick is usually read as a single byte from memory locations $DC00 and $DC01 for ports 1 and 2. The userport is read in much the same way only at location $DD01. So the pinout here is designed to mimic the information as it would be read from the joystick port.

The following games have been patched and are available for download at this site. Keep in mind, these games will not work with a regular C64/128, C64 emulator, or a 64DTV unless the joystick is connected to the userport. There are other versions of these games available online should you want to play it on something besides a hummer.

	Giana Sisters One of the all-time great games! Similar to Nintendo's "Super Mario Bros." But many find it superior. Get the disk image here: giana.d64 Patched by Expersetup.
	Montezuma's Revenge Another classic. I don't think there is an 8-bit system that this game wasn't ported to. The C64 version is one of the best, and now you can play it on your hummer! Get the file here: montez-hum.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Satan's Hollow Haven't tried it yet.. Get the file here: SATAN-HUM.PRG Patched by Expertsetup.
	Space Harrier Haven't tried it yet. Get the file here: space-har.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Wizardry A.K.A. "Spell of Destruction" An interesting game. Use the "Commodore Key" which is "ALT" on your PS/2 keyboard to go through doors. Use keys "1" and "2" to cycle through inventory. Get the file here: spell-dst.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Ghosts and Goblins This is an all-time classic, but more difficult to play than it looks. Get the file here: ghosts-gob.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Spelunker This particular port has a few glitches. It has some corrupted graphics in some insignificant areas. But Also it has a bug where when starting the game, it goes into demo mode instead. If it does this, hit Runstop/Restore (On your DTV that is ESC/Pause-Break) and see if that solves it. Get the file here: spelunker.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Pallo This is a new game designed by Hannu Nuotio, since he designed it, he just changed the port with the original source. Get the file here: pallo_hummer.prg Coded by Hannu Nuotio
	Abyss Here is a new one. Get the disk image here: abyss-hum.d64 Patched by Expertsetup.

	Krackout Here is yet another patched game from Expertsetup! Get the file here: krackout.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Pitfall One of my requests. A few more classics like this, and who needs the Atari flashback? Get the file here: pitfall.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Ms. Pacman Another one of my requests. Get the file here: mspacman.prg Patched by Expertsetup.
	Spy Hunter! Another classic from 1983. Actually, hummer owners have been playing this one for a while anyway as it is keyboard-playable. In fact, a keyboard is required in order to use some of the special weapons you can pick up. But now it can be played with a user-port joystick.
