Re: Issues with movement in Daggerfall (MS-DOS 6.22)

I don't fully understand how Daggerfall calculates your movement stats, but being unable to ascend anything while crouching makes sense. I've never experienced being unable to descend while using the crouch/sneak movement option though. The strafing is weird, you can either strafe or move forwards/ …

At least I hope that's what's happening? So I bought a y-splitter from ebay to use with 2 Gravis gamepads in two button mode on my DOS machine. When I attempt to play Gauntlet 2, nothing on the second controller registers at all, no matter if I have one or both gamepads plugged in, the second port …

I'm not sure it's helpful, but on my DOS 6.22 system, I use QEMM and let it do its thing, I have 629k free conventional, and enough EMS and XMS for games that need them. For Ultima 7 I use a bootdisk, haha.

So I'm having some weirdness with movement in Daggerfall, which I don't recall having the last time I installed it on this particular machine. (listed first in signature.) Basically, strafing while crouching is nearly impossible, going up or down stairs while crouching is completely impossible, and …

Does anyone have the cover art for Freddy's Rescue Roundup? (aka Roadrunner Rescue)

It's an old IBM PCjr game. I can't find box/cover art for it online. If anyone has it or knows where to find it, I would like an image to turn into an icon for my dosbox shortcut of the game. Thank you!

Freddy's Rescue Roundup - stuck in cool color palette

Hitting F5 during gameplay in Freddy is supposed to swap the CGA palette back and forth from cool to warm, at least that's how it worked on PCjr a million years ago. With the freeware (yes really) DOS version I found, it's listed in the menu, but the key does nothing. I'm using Dosbox ECE, a …

ACTUALLY, in case anyone else runs into this problem, I realized it was auto-detecting the wrong IRQ. Make sure you do it manually if you're not at 7.

How in the world do I quit the game? The manual tells me NOTHING. Maybe I'm missing a reference card or something somewhere. I've tried every key combination I can think of, the only one that for sure works is, y'know, CTRL+ALT+DEL.

Well, after QEMM, everything runs jsut fine except for NFSSE and Jazz Jackrabbit so far. So, guess it was memory related? Don't know, losing ability to care anymore. EDIT NOPE. Stuff is still broken. So, that's it, I'm done. It's a Pentium 90 with 16mb of RAM now. The end.

Yet another post. After more screwing around, I think Quake and NFSSE think I don't have enough XMS. It's possible there's nothing wrong with my CPU at all. I'm confused, though, since I have 32MB RAM and ehhhhhhhhhh I dunno what I'm doing wrong anymore. EDIT: So, out of desperation, I downloaded …

Well, I believe I've ruled out the power supply. Got my cable today, everything's plugged in and working, NFSSE still won't load even the installer, Quake crashed nearly immediately. Just for fun, here's a picture of the page fault from Quake, in case someone knows how to decipher it. I think, …

I found an ABIT NF7-S2G socket A board on ebay for around 42 or best offer, though it's "used and untested" and doesn't accept returns which makes me leery. Worth it? Leave it be? Post it here so someone else can grab it? HA.
