Yeah , I forgot I upped my cycles, so this one should work properly with the default 3000 cycles. MAIN.EXE , search for: > 80 c2 06 ec 24 08 75 fb ec 24 08 74 fb 58 48 75 replace with: < 80 c2 06 51 b9 00 20 49 75 fd 59 90 90 58 48 75 Yay! 😁

if it looks like this then this is how the game plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG9bTO2J7z0 It seems almost the same (mine is a tat slower though but I'm in dosbox). Maybe I'm too spoiled. I'm gonna check if I can find a hack to speed it up a bit. I know the man has a cape but this is …

Hi, Any idea why Rick Dangerous plays like a dream, but the sequel more like maple syrup ? Is there a way to speed it up ?, cycles seem to do nothing for me. Akuma

It works great, so by pressing END it flips the bit and then takes the jump ? Nice 😁 EDIT: tested and worked with cycles=20000

Mine seems to lock up randomly at last life around 8500 cycles and it gets more consistent if I increase the cycles beyond that. Also I found out it also depends on how far I proceed in the game, so when dying in the in the beginning I can sometimes get to the retry/credit screen with 10000 cycles. …

Great! But,hmm, should I move this to the patches forum? While not a direct patch, it might still fit better in there... thoughts? Yeah, in retrospect this is probably (at this point) better off in the development forum. But I leave that up to you. New version with installer attached, read the .txt …

Instead of a .zip file you could just use a FAT disk image, stored as a compressed file on a NTFS (or similar) volume. Sure, but its just not as convenient as zip. Most people can create a zip, working with a disk image is just an extra obstacle. Thanks for thinking along though :D mounting support …

Would be best to remove the links that reference usage of files that the op obviously does not own as well as references in the documentation to "archives". lol. Everyone knows what you mean, at least you didn't mention "abandonware" The reference was to the open-with-dosbox.7z archive. You'd be …
