Re: DOSBox ReelMagic Fork

So is it likely that with that patched EXE and running in the DOSBox ReelMagic emulator this is the most this game has actually ran? When I get more time I would love to dig more into this and actually get it to the point where it can stably run on the real HW too :-) Yes, sure - you are indeed the …

And the game's behaviour is the same on the real hardware - as we already mentioned it here before, the CD image of this game is not original and could be dubious, or this edition could be full of original bugs with the MPEG part not being tested enough (or both). OK, here is the true story! It …

Have you tried LOADFIX? It can cure many forms of seemingly inexplicable program misbehavior. :) You mean, for fixing that crash with "Entity"? Sadly no - LOADFIX does not help there. And the game's behaviour is the same on the real hardware - as we already mentioned it here before, the CD image of …

[*] Cleans up major video artifacts in Man Enough. Awesome :) Hopefully I didn't break anything :-) I have briefly re-checked all the 10 games - everything seems to be fine! That is, just those good old known bugs. Like "Space Ace" not working, video not progressing in "The Horde" etc. I think one …

Crime Patrol is now playable. Crime Patrol 2 - Drug Wars is now playable. Oh, great!!! So, for now only one DOS game (out of 10 available for the moment) is not yet supported, "Space Ace". I have played and completed "Crime Patrol" - all the videos are fine, no artifacts at all! I had one minor …

This will likely turn into a very large effort and right now I think it's better to focus on getting reasonable emulator support and compatibility across most games. Of course, you are right! It is indeed not a priority as that is not the emulator's fault. I'm not sure this is even related to the …

Flash Traffic is now playable. That was fast :) Awesome!!! Current Tested Game Compatibility: Entity You do not list video messages crashing under "Known Issues"? [*] Flash Traffic I'm sure there is something as I have only briefly tested the intro and installer. And with this game, I was able to …

This release cleans up most (if not all) the issues with Dragon's Lair. Wow is that game ever tricky to play and test! :-) Oh, great - thank you so much! Have you tested the whole game??? :) I won't be able to do that without save states unfortunately - but at least the first scenes indeed are all …

in DOS
Hi guys ! , a new one ??? No, it is not a new one, and sadly it is not a game, nor a Reelmagic exclusive: OK, I could try to make an iso of 'Power Rangers', but a little bit later! It is not a game though, just some movie (that could be run on any MPEG player, not just ReelMagic). Another news, …

Do you happen to have a save game file at a point where there is a garbled video? Sure, attached! But it is the very beginning, so you do not actually need a save. Just press ESC to skip the intro videos and then the driving video - and you would meet Jerry (or you can just press F3 and load my …

Daum would NOT be a good basis as it is old and broken due to incomplete patches added to it. Oh, I know that. It is just that I am too accustomed to using the 2014 version of SVN Daum for years... It got broken later, in 2015, and then sadly was abandoned. There are other forks with save states …

New Release Update: https://github.com/jrdennisoss/dosboxrm/releases/tag/2022-03-28 Awesome, thanks! That's a lot of progress :) I have checked all the games again: 1. "Crime Patrol" - no changes: the game still does not launch complaining that the driver is not found, fatal error etc. 2. "Dragon's …

No one notices the artifacts of sound? No! Can you please tell what are these artifacts? Yeah that is to be expected. The debug compile of DOSBox is super verbose (pay attention to the size of "dosbox.log" as it may grow big! :-) ) and unoptimized. It is intended to give insight as to what is going …

New Release Update: https://github.com/jrdennisoss/dosboxrm/releases/tag/2022-03-16 Changes: That's a lot of changes - great work, thanks!!! [*] Added a "heavy debugging" Windows exe to the build as well. (Attached Screenshot) Somehow that EXE does not work for me - at least in some games, like " …

I have the Horde MPEG manual, but it's in rough shape. Maybe I can get it flattened out a bit and scan it? (I have very little experience scanning this sort of thing, but I can perhaps do my best when I find time.) Great, thanks! In fact, I think that only the covers and maybe one or two pages of …

If you mean the small green flashes and the odd "wrong color blocks" that happen here and there then this should be able to be fixed! I haven't yet taken the time to look into this specific issue though because this will likely take a large amount of time to debug as I will have to go very deep …

I'm noticing the Alexis video doesn't play when I click on her, but I do get the audio from the video stream. You are right! There is only audio, but no video. That's the same thing as with "Man Enough", where most videos are playing fine (including all the large intros), but some smaller videos ( …
