Hi,  I am stuck on level 9 on Zelda Classic, The Revenge Quest. 

 

Here is a Picture of where I am stuck at.

 

 

In the next picture below when I go in the second entrance of  level 9, every time I go in this entrance, after the screen loads every time, link always goes down automatically to exit this level without pressing any buttons.  Does anyone that played this quest had this problem? Is there a third entrance in level 9 I can get to or do I have to go in the second level 9 entrance to beat this game.  Is this a game error?

 

 

The last picture below shows which items I had in this quest.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your help.

What version are you using?

 

Sounds like it could be a ZC compatibility issue if you are using a newer version since the newer versions handle warp/ continue destinations a bit differently.

I am using Zelda Classic v2.50 Build 28

There was a change in the way that ZC handles entrance/exit warps and NES Dungeon movement that caused that particular entrance to mess up in later versions of ZC since it's 8 pixels higher in the room than all the others.

 

I made a fix so that I could beat the game in 2.50 back when I replayed the quest a few years ago (that's compatible in 1.90) since PrinceMSC released the password of the quest a long, long time ago and I still had it on me at the time. All this does is move the entrance square down 8 pixels so that it should work properly in 2.50.

(Hopefully I grabbed the right quest file...)

I had that problem when I was making my first dungeon. If you hold the "up" key while entering, you should be able to override it and move into the dungeon before it forces you to exit.

That actually doesn't work in this particular case. It's one of the first things I tried. I know it works in similar cases, but the entrance is just barely off by enough to where you can't regain control to move up before you get shoved out of the dungeon even if you hold up the entire time. There might be some quest rules that make holding up work to break out of this as a side effect, but none of them would be checked in a 1.84 quest.

Does anyone know when that changed? And what exactly the old behavior was?

Okay. I did a quick test and here's what I found.

• In 1.92 183, Link walks down but doesn't exit the dungeon (even without holding any directions). So the game can be beaten without doing anything weird. I think this is how it had been working before.
• In 2.10.1, Link walks down and exits the dungeon no matter what. Same as 2.50.
• I can't run 2.10.0 on my computer.

So it was probably changed at some point between 1.92 build 183 and 2.10.
 
Edit: I found 1.93 build 4 in my old ZC files from when I used to be a ZC Beta Tester and I tested this in that also. Link walks down and exits the dungeon no matter what like in 2.50.

Excellent, thank. That should be fixed in 2.50.3.

I pressed the F6 key on my keyboard in Zelda Classic The Revenge Quest on the second level 9 entrance and it worked. Then, I beat this game. Thanks for telling me to use the F6 key on my keyboard so I can continue with my game.

Yes, that works.  Now has Link moving up when entering in.  Otherwise, in the old version, using F6-Continue on entering the second entrance also results in Link being moved upward on restart.
