What the hell are you talking about? I just explained to you about port register writes, how the same register write must result in the same colors produced (Burgertime colors = Ms. PacMan colors). Do you understand that? Please tell me if you do. I do understand what you are saying. Again, I'm not …

NewRisingSun: The Monitor was both RGB and composite - It has seperate inputs for the RGB cable and for composite input. It used a toggle button between using the two signals. My "phenotypical" approach was based on response by your claim to what the arcade version looked like and the programmers " …

It wasn't a TV, it was a RGB/Composite monitor set to the default factory position and never adjusted for *any* game. :happyhappy: Never played the arcade version? How old do you think I am? Ha!

I understand what you are saying. If the hue adjustment is the issue, then let me rephrase my original statement: "Nice job with the update to the composite mode so Burgertime looks a lot better in Composite mode. However, that same fixed made the *hues* in Atarisoft Ms. Pac-Man look horrible. Ms. …

From here (which appear *very* close from what I remember on my old 'Turbo' XT...lol): http://www.mobygames.com/game/pc-booter/ms-pac-man/screenshots The 'old' composite method used in DOSBox (Last official release), was much closer to colors than they are now (Latest CVS). It really looks horrible …

I posted about this (much) earlier when 0.63 was first released. However, I believe I have a better way of explaining the issue at this point. If you run Thexder under DOSBox 0.61 with machine type Tandy. You will see and hear Thexder looking and sounding just as it should. Take the same game, …

For the first time (At least for me), I can now play Atarisoft Galaxian and Atarisoft Gremlins. Prior to version 0.63 - DOSBox would just 'blank screen' when trying to load either one of these games. Other titles like Centipede and Ms. Pac-Man worked in older version(s), but I was waiting to see if …
