1. INTRODUCTION
SUPER PAKPAK is a 2-4 player Spacewar!/Thrust/Gravity force style game for
Nintendo Entertainment System and Famicom.
It was programmed in a few weeks during the year 2010, and was submitted as
an official entry for the Assembly Summer 2010 Game Development competition
in Helsinki, Finland.
This game is completely FREE.
To play it, you need a fairly accurate emulator (do NOT use Nesticle!).
______________________________________________________________________________
2. GAMEPLAY & RULES
At least two players are needed to start the game. HOLD button A at the start
menu to begin a game. The game will begin after the counter counts to zero.
In two player games, you need to get two kills in a round before the level
ends. In three or four player games, the level ends when there is only one
ship remaining.
During the game you can use the following keys:
START - Pause (during a pause you can return to the main menu by pressing
the buttons DOWN, SELECT, A and B at the same time)
LEFT, RIGHT - Turn the ship
A - Throttle button increases the speed. When the ship has suffered enough
damage, it bursts into flames and can not gain enough speed, hence it
becomes harder to maneuver.
B - Fire button fires the basic weapon.
DOWN - Launches the secondary weapon. If you are landed on a base, this
button changes the secondary weapon. Note that you can't fire the secondary
weapon while touching the base, and it is momentarily inactive right after
you leave the base or right after launching it. The weapon icon is shown on
the statusbar, and it will flash when the weapon is unavailable.
The secondary weapons are the following:
BOMB - Drops down from the ship, explodes and emits 4 bullets upwards.
Be careful not to launch this while you are near the ground or the enemy.
The bomb itself does not do much direct damage (twice a bullet's).
SPRAY CANNON - Emits a 4-bullet spray
MINE - Could be planted anywhere. Does very high damage (3x a bullet's)
and disappears after a while.
VORTEX CANNON - Shoots thru any object, except the impenetrable walls.
This does twice a bullet's damage.
TELEPORT - Transports the ship to a random starting location. This is useful
when trying to avoid a tight spot.
You get a point by destroying another ship. If a ship gets destroyed
indirectly (lava or crashing into a wall), the ship that damaged it the
last time during the round will get a point.
If a ship shoots itself or gets blown by an explosive in the level triggered
by the ship itself, no one gets a point.
There are 12 scenes in the game, after the 12th scene the game is reverted
back to the first scene.
After any player gets 50 points, the game ends and an end screen will appear.

4. PLAYING THE GAME ON A REAL CONSOLE
If you don't have a PowerPak, you can still play SUPER PAKPAK on a real NES.
Get a UNROM (Pro Wrestling, Ikari, the original Contra, Rygar) donor
cartridge and remove the PRG ROM chip. The other chip is a RAM, and it should
not be removed. Burn a 27C512 EPROM with the game ROM (don't include the INES
header which is the first 16 bytes). Bend up pin 22 of the EPROM and solder
the chip in the place of the old PRG ROM. Solder a jumper wire from pin 22
to pin 14.
The original ROM pinout is the following.
---_---
PRG A15 - |01 28| - +5V
PRG A12 - |02 27| - PRG A14
PRG A7 - |03 26| - PRG A13
PRG A6 - |04 25| - PRG A8
PRG A5 - |05 24| - PRG A9
PRG A4 - |06 23| - PRG A11
PRG A3 - |07 22| - PRG A16 (This is /OE&VPP in the EPROM)
PRG A2 - |08 21| - PRG A10
PRG A1 - |09 20| - PRG /CE
PRG A0 - |10 19| - PRG D7
PRG D0 - |11 18| - PRG D6
PRG D1 - |12 17| - PRG D5
PRG D2 - |13 16| - PRG D4
GND - |14 15| - PRG D3
-------
The 27C512 EPROM pinout is almost the same!
Only the Pin 22 is Output enable/Programming voltage supply.
The EPROM's Pin 22 should be pulled up and tied to ground (Pin 14).
The original PRG A16 pin is not needed, because our game is only
64 kilobytes.
If you don't want to break an existing cartridge, you can buy a "ReproPak"
PCB and a nice case from http://www.retrousb.com/.

5. MULTI-PLAYER GAME
You can play with a NES Four Score/NES Satellite adapter, or if you have
a Famicom System, you can use regular Famicom multi-player controllers.
If you have a regular NES, and you don't have a Four Score/Satellite,
it is possible to hack two more controllers into the expansion port at the
bottom of the NES (this actually adds Famicom multi-player feature to your
NES, which is supported by some Japanese games).
This is the controller pinout:
+-
GND - |O\
CLK - |OO\ - +5V
Strobe - |OO| - D3
D0 - |OO| - D4
+--+
This is the expansion port pinout:
+-------\
+5V |01 48| +5V
GND |02 47| GND
Audio In |03 46| NC
R/W |04 45| Out2 (from CPU)
A15 |05 44| Out1 (from CPU)
Cart con. pin #51 |06 43| Out0 (from CPU- strobe on sticks)
Cart con. pin #52 |07 42| Cart con. pin #16
Cart con. pin #53 |08 41| Cart con. pin #17
Cart con. pin #54 |09 40| Cart con. pin #18
Cart con. pin #55 |10 39| Cart con. pin #19
/OE for stick 2 |11 38| Cart con. pin #20
Player #1 D1 |12 37| /OE for stick 1
Player #1 D3 |13 36| Player #1 D4
/IRQ |14 35| Player #1 D0
Player #2 D2 |15 34| /OE for stick 1
Player #2 D3 |16 33| Player #1 D2
/OE for stick 2 |17 32| D0
Player #2,D4 |18 31| D1
Player #2,D0 |19 30| D2
Player #2,D1 |20 29| D3
Audio out |21 28| D4
Video out |22 27| D5
+9V |23 26| D6
4.00MHz CLK |24 25| D7
+-------/
Expansion Connector
Wire them the following way:
Controller 3:
GND ----> Expansion port pin 2 or 47 (GND).
+5V ----> Expansion port pin 1 or 48 (+5V).
CLK ----> Expansion port pin 34 or 37 (/OE for stick 1)
Strobe -> Expansion port pin 43 (Out0 - strobe on sticks)
D0 ----> Expansion port pin 12 (Player #1 D1) (NOTE: Not to D0 !!)
Controller 4:
GND ----> Expansion port pin 2 or 47 (GND).
+5V ----> Expansion port pin 1 or 48 (+5V).
CLK ----> Expansion port pin 11 or 17 (/OE for stick 2)
Strobe -> Expansion port pin 43 (Out0 - strobe on sticks)
D0 ----> Expansion port pin 20 (Player #2 D1) (NOTE: Not to D0 !!)
Pinouts are from Kevin Horton's document "NES Cart Types"
(http://kevtris.org/nes/nestuff2.txt).

6. ANALOG CONTROLLER
SUPER PAKPAK supports an analog controller! Too bad this analog controller
does not exist yet. The analog controller DOES NOT work with a Four Score,
only with the Famicom style multitap.
If you want to try to make one, here are the shift register bits:
+--------------------------------------------------------+
|Read# 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
+----+---------------------------------------------------+
| Joy#1/Joy#2 |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| A | B | Select | Start | Up | Down | Left | Right |
+---------------------------------------------------+
+-----------------------------------------------+
| 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| Analog |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| D7 | D6 | D5 | D4 | D3 | D2 | D1 | D0 |
+-----------------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------+
| 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 |
+---------------------------------------+
| Adapter info |
+---------------------------------------+
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
+---------------------------------------+
A good candidate would be a microcontroller with AD and a potentiometer
with the stopper inside removed, so it rotates 360 degrees. You could also
implement it in pure TTL logic and use an old AD080x AD-converter!
