Megadrive version of Dizzy the adventurer

I wrote PM to "Dizzy" user,the one who seems to be involved into Dream world Pogie and Dizzy adventurer in 16 bit.
But he never answered to me.
I wonder why.Why dumping cart is taking them sooo long?This kind of thing can be done in about 1 day. :cross: Also why they don't release Wonderland Pogie Soruce,or at least send it to some good programmer to put it together?
I was doing familiar job with Go Dizzy Go.Dissasembling AND assembling source code took me about 2 months... :wall:
Actions like this decrease realiability of things showed. :neutral: (Dream world Pogie and Adventurer 16 bit)
But I still belive it's true.

As I know Megadrive version is same as the Excellent Dizzy collection including 3 games. Any pictures of them? I saw some at Facebook, but anymore? Someone could tell more of this version? I would like to know.

I am eggstremely busy with other work commitments at the moment and have been massively delayed with this project.

Ok,ok I completely understand.

Also, we all have lives outside of this community and as you grow up and take on more responsibility you will realise that. Sorry to sound harsh, but its true.

That's why I like dizzy.pl much more! {yolkfolk}:tongue:
You don't really know what I'm doing. You don't care. It's OK, but you should if you want to write such things.
Anyway, I must congratulate you.
I have two children, a wife, office work and school for adults at weekends. But I guess you're making space ship plans for NASA, and this is the proof of having grown up.
Ehh...anyway.

‘Dumping’ of the rom cannot be done as I do not have the tools to do this but everything possible will be ripped.

Maybe send the cartridge to someone you trust or buy one yourself? (Like I did for something that I recently discovered.)
but everything possible will be ripped.
Wait..no...umm..hmm..ermm..no...just a sec...hmm..so...HOW?
I mean you can "rip" the music by recording it. The same goes for graphics.
But we (players that wait for this game to be dumped) want to PLAY this GAME. Having the graphics and music is cool, but we want to play it.Of course someone can make a new game using that music and graphics, but.. it's not the same.

The most strange thing is why you didn't give Dreamworld Pogie sources yet?
THIS does not require so much time after all.. :no:
Some author problems or what?

I don't look at the 'Original Dizzy' forums much, but I saw this and felt I had to respond.

YOU may not lead a very busy live, in which you can afford to spend time doing things you want to (like Dizzy), but not all of us have that time to spend.

You need to accept that sometimes people are very very busy indeed, and no matter how much you may want them to do something, and how little time you think it will take, the fact is that sometimes they simply don't have time to, even for things that wouldn't usually take long to do.

You come across in your post as very impatient and not at all understanding. Hopefully you will realise that no matter how impatient you are, things will only be done when people have time to do them. The best thing to do is to accept the situation, and wait patiently. :smile:

Ok,so i get a warning about insulting Dizzy. Your response regarding my time and how busy I am is extremely insulting. While about his time I wrote Ok,ok I completely understand. I insulted him for his no care about other.I mean he can say that I have lots of free time,I never wrote anything like that...

Arghh..what?
**Looking in dictionary**
No,I wrote it right...
You even quoted me-i have very,very little time. The best thing to do is to accept the situation, and wait patiently. This is not an excuse for not sending Dreamworld pogie sources.
You know...copy,compress(winrar7zip...who cares) and send.
And yes,I know ahat mean "patiently"-I'm producing simple Dizzy game for over a year.

That's a very good news! Last Dizzy game! And we saw it... sometime in the future, and the megadrive version of adventurer too... i hope.

Dizzy, i wish you free time!

Can someone provide a bit of an overview of what is going on with this?

Am I right in thinking that ‘Dizzy’ from the YolkFolk site has acquired the code etc for the unreleased Megadrive game Dizzy the Adventurer (essentially Prince of the Yolkfolk?)? Is this because he wrote it or has someone from Codemasters given it to him and permission to do what he likes with it?

I’m a writer for a website called ‘Games That Weren’t’ so it’s the sort of thing we love to cover so more information would be great!

I'll try and explain it the best I can.

Quite some time ago, Philip Oliver (one half of the Oliver Twins) gave Dizzy (Admin) some packages containing cartridges, drawings, notes etc.

A few of those cartridges contained the unreleased Sega MegaDrive versions of Dizzy the Adventurer and Painic Dizzy.
But the big problem is that Dizzy doesn't have the machine/device thing where he can do ROM dumps of the games.
However, he did mention on Yolkfolk's Facebook page a few months ago that he is currently on the hunt for a thing called a backup device to do these ROM dumps.

Obviously, the video clips of those games on YouTube were recorded from his TV.

That's kind of all I know about this at the moment.

Hi ZX Knight...

As ADZ has filled you in.. I am currently in possession on said cartridges by kind permission of Philip Oliver.
I am, and so far unsuccessfully, on the hunt for a rom dumper to be able to bring these cartridges to the masses.

If you would like more information ZX Knight, please PM and I'd be more than happy to talk further.

Hi Dizzy, just thought I would add to this healthy debate by saying that you have created a fantastic comunity for fans of Dizzy to get together and celebrate the best game character ever created! and while I would love to get my hands on the megadrive version, I also think that no one has the right to preasure you into sorting it out. They were given to you and no one is going to pay you for all your hard work so why should you bust a ball to dump the roms! {yolkfolk}:dizzy: three cheers for all the hard work that the team have put in over the years. {yolkfolk}:thumb: I salute you all.

Thanks for the comments Still-Dizzy, and welcome to the community. {yolkfolk}:dizzy:

@robgba
I don't think he'll just get rid of cart.He's(Dizzy, the admin) rensposible guy.It's just really hard to get dumping device.We have to wait, wait and wait.
