No, I don't use Linux. Funfact: clonecd refuses to make cuesheet when dealing with multisession cdroms. I fixed (sorta) the problem by using ccd or mdf/mds formats. Well...at least now Daemon Lite opens the disc correctly.

Take your time dude. Dgvoodoo2 rocks. I'm particularly interested in future refinements of fmv, gdi and ddraw hooks.
Multisession cuesheets weirdness
Posted on 2023-06-10, 16:14
Is it me or today's virtual drive tools have flaky support for multisession cuesheets? Today I made a bin+cue image of a multisession disc (session 1: 3 audio tracks, session 2: 1 data track), I used good ol' Imgburn. All went ok but when I mount the image, weird things happened. Daemon tools lite …

I'm talking about the ancient Konami pc port. Anybody knows what's the supposed framerate for this game? Framecapping it at 60 it's still too fast compared to arcade game, and setting it to 30 fps it's too slow.

After some time and some investigation, there are AT LEAST 3 different versions of Knight Force EGA/VGA out there: The 3.5" floppy I got from Spain, if the original floppy is not in the drive, the game will start but without sprites and stopped time.

Even more awesome would be posting such a request on the dosbox-x github issues page..... I signed up on there long ago just to post bugs about the ps1 audio card long ago and Github randomly flagged my account when doing that. Please disable ps1 audio card support since it's not working for a lot …

Yeah it works on Real Hardware, but kq5 is hard to play on a 10Mhz 286. I can make a small video when i have some time. ...Still waiting :) Please, video(s) can be useful for bugfixing. Any good programmer who wants to try fixing long time dead ps/1 audiocard emulation in Dosbox-X? Jmk account is …

I finally managed to finish this lil' bastard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEya1r8_50g This game can be really weird sometimes...I wonder if some gameplay choices were voluntarily made by Titus programmers or it's simply glitched to hell and back! And reading the game manual can be misleading. …
Re: Zsoft pcx madness
Posted on 2023-03-24, 21:14
Nice idea but Hex compare is not of much help because the size of source file vs pcx saved with pc paint 3 is much different. Are the colors 1:1 as on the real machine ? don't know what pal those images had on PC88/98? Are these already converted when using the EGA (hires) pal of just 64colors? I …

Checked. PC Paint 3.. It seems to write the sample in the same format as it had read it. Yeah, we're getting there... but still not 1:1 (yeah, I'm a perfectionist) This is from an official .gcx file uploaded on checkfiletype.com: PCX ver. 3.0 image data bounding box [0, 0] - [639, 399], 4 planes …

I still have a collection of some pixel-art of that category in pcx or gif format. (not sure if it was originally PCX) Must be 640x350 16color EGA pal and some 640x480 16color VGA pal. Variable Geo uses Zsoft PCX ver. 3.0 640x400 resolution, 4 planes each of 1-bit (16 colors), 640 x 480 dpi, RLE …

Dos cdrom game from 1995 by Infogrames. I cannot access "Parents menu" in all the versions I tried. Cannot test on genuine Dos though. Maybe has something to do with the internal time clock?

Posted on 2023-02-14, 15:36
It's a disk with shareware from germany, for PC. Since the floppy had a bad shape (mould and dirt) I thought it was unreadable for that reason, and it stayed on my desk for months. But apparently it was just that Windows 7 didn't recognize that and wanted me to reformat. I casually discovered all …

Other than the mold, I don't know why but in my personal experience, 720 disks are "stronger" against oxide coating flaking off, I had a lot more high density destroyed (bad quality?) disks during recent years. Sometimes files or entire disks without visible damage just become unreadable (the OS …
