Should we have a spreadsheet or something to keep track of who's recording on what module?

I'll lend my Roland CM-500 (in CM-300 mode) and Roland MT-200 as well. One question, should we send a GS reset or a GM reset sysex prior to recording?

Border/Background image for widescreen on 4:3 games?
Posted on 2022-02-14, 01:15
Is there such thing or has anyone thought of having a feature in DOSBox where, defined in the CONF, you could add a border/background image file that would display in the black column bars around the render display (most useful for aspect ratio-corrected games)? So that, for instance, when you're …

For KQ1, the first release looks a bit better. SQ3 definitely looks better with version 2 though.

Heck yes. EDIT: I tried this with the EGA SCI1.0 games and it works, but like the older official CGA drivers, it doesn't like scrolling screens. Which means it won't work for KQ1SCI either.

What tool do you recommend for disassembling Sierra DRV driver files? (I don't know what I'm doing, this is semi-brand new territory but I'm eager to try)

Yes, there is a way to fake the scroll function. You basically have to append an entry to the jump table and append a wrapper function that updates the screen. I have already done that for the PC1512 driver and described the modifications in the relevant thread . The CGA monochrome driver should …

Really cool to see this open source driver! Going back to the discussion about scrolling screens not playing nice with certain drivers, is there any way to improve the existing SCI drivers (hercules monochrome, CGA monochrome, and CGA 4 colour drivers) to support or at least ignore scrolling screens …

Compiling for 2.62 indeed wouldn't be a realistic option. Many of the functions have changed or been deprecated and replaced by better functions that work entirely differently. The entire game would have to be largely rescripted. Newer games use plugins that I don't think would work in DOS either.

I recall a program that worked with Windows 98 called Dremples Desktop and it rendered an animated background of warping and shifting colours. It was pretty nice at the time. Yeah, I guess Win10 does have live wallpaper. I wouldn't know where to begin to create one, though. Guess I'll look into it …

Started playing the original Alone in the Dark with my son a few days ago. Despite its age, it's incredibly atmospheric of course (I have fond memories of playing AITD3 on CD). And it still managed to creep my son out who had trouble watching 🤣. Score 1 for old games.

Satisfying conclusion. Much better than a lot of other conclusions and continuations of stories going on lately. I don't get how Captain America got to use Thor's hammer. Isn't Thor supposed to be the only person (technically god) who can use it? Whoever is worthy may wield the hammer. In Avengers 2 …
