That is sad 🙁 Too bad he couldn't be more specific. My guess is that he think he needs the source code to make the change which he does not have access to at the current moment. Still I wouldn't give up hope, some bright individual with reverse engineering / crack skills might find a way 😀

Impressive that you got in contact with him. Did he say why he couldn't help? Was it because of legal issues or because of technical?

I also bought my board from that guy. It took about 14 days to arrive (about 10 working days) in Norway. The tracking was way off, it arrived when the tracking said it was still in China.

I do not have access to my vintage computer due to moving and while it works on my Windows 7 laptop I would like to …

Just ran this game in native DOS on my Compaq 200 mhz MMX, 80 mb SDRAM and Voodoo 2 SLI computer. It's fully playable, but with every graphic settings set to full the framerate isn't "silky smooth". (Silky Smooth for me is 60 fps). I would put it at around 20-40 fps depending on the level and action …
