128800 :ph43r: ant if you could let me know how to put up a smaller image i will [Antiriad2097] Save the file as a JPEG. At the moment you're saving them as BMP. Yes, I know they've been renamed JPG, but they're still BMPs. Use your image app of choice to convert formats (Windows Paint will do, or you could download IrfanView). For convenience I'm scaling them down in size 50% as well. Its a difference between 34kb for the jpeg compared to 1.37Mb for the bmp. I'm editing them down as its really slowing the page loading on the forum right now. [/Antiriad2097] |

I never used to like this game, I always put it down to the bad conversions I'd played. Turns out I still don't like it even with the original arcade version. Worst game of the season so far for me

My tip for round 6 is to stay on the top 2 lines when you get on the first skateboard. You'll only have to dodge the odd can here and there, there's no barriers or anything as far as I remember. |

Ah, what happens is the time left over from levels 1,2 and 3 is added to the base of 30 seconds for level 4. Same thing happens on level 8 (adding up time remaining on levels 5,6 and 7). |

Mystery unveiled! You need to extract cus60 from the archive and rename it to cus60-60a1.mcu, then put it back in there. Should work fine after that. |
