Warper74 provided the following feedback on Diamond Hunt:

In Diamonds Hunt, on real hardware, when you hold right or left while jumping, the character will go to the held on direction at the very moment he lands back, in your simulation, he doesn't move at all after landing back unless you press a direction again.

Also, in the grotto, I noticed the snake can kill you, which is not possible on real hardware while you are in the grotto.

Would it be possible to fix these inaccuracies?
Thanks for your amazing work by the way!

Thanks for the feedback Warper74. I always appreciate any feedback that helps improve the accuracy of these simulations.

I've made these changes in a test build for you to try out. Let me know if it behaves like the real hardware.

Tested it, feels like the original! Snakes no longer kill you in the grotto and you can hold the direction while jumping to instantly go once you're back on the ground !The only thing yet to fix is that you can fall in the water by pressing left too many times while in the real game the character won't go further (automatically stops at the edge). Thank you for the quick fix and preserving with accuracy these electronic games, it's awesome!

Thanks for testing! Also thanks for the additional note about falling into the water. I wasn't sure from watching the video on YouTube if you could fall into the water by pressing left, so thanks for letting me know. Also, I saw the topic you created with the more detailed description for it. I've archived that topic to keep this one for all the Diamond Hunt related feedback.

Okay, I've now updated the public release with all the changes you tested, as well as a fix for the issue of falling in to the water when moving left.

Thanks again for helping to improve the quality of this simulation. I've credited you on the game page for your contribution.

Let me know if you own any of the other games in the Triscreen series and would like to contribute. I've already created some initial prototype builds that you can preview.

Hello, no problem, I actually own Diamond Hunt so I could also provide higher sound recording quality if you are interessted. I've ordrered a new Game & Watch that is not on Retrofab, it's called Donkey Angler, it's single screen tough. I'm willing to help if you are interessted by providing pictures, full gameplay with clear explanaitions and all of the sounds effects as soon as I receive the Game & Watch!

Thanks! If you can provide better recordings for Diamond Hunt that would be awesome. And yeah, adding Donkey Angler sounds great, especially if you get the instructions with it. That's always the challenge.

Would you rather have a better recording of the real hardware (100% accurate) or an accurate recreation? (would sound a tiny bit different but the quality would be even better) if you don't know I can send both propositions. Simply tell me how I can send you the sound files. By email?

Either would be better than the current recordings, but I'd be interested to hear both propositions. If you rate RetroFab and add your email address in the rating comments, I'll contact you via email.
