When running the runme.bat it's is created a lots of .bak files. On old machines this can eat a lot of disk space. Could there be an option in the runme.bat where one could forfeit to make the backup? Also a selection for deleting all *.bak

In that link you gave it seems there are multiple versions of Choice.com. Which version would you recommend? I don't really know. Lets try the news version.

Have it been tried to get ADPTACH to patch Sierra AGI games? The AGI games support Composite CGA - 16 colors. It would be so cool to play CGA Compoiste games with Adlib support. That would get some attention.

One more thing. The runme.bat uses choice as a command. This was introduced in MS-DOS 6.0 In older versjons ths runme.bat will now work. I suggest to let the file choice.com fra freedos to be part of the package - at least for a 8088 versjon of the package. Choice.com can be downloaded from her: …

Is it possible to implement Reverb and Chorus effects on the OPL3LPT? That would also give mono games a stereo like effect.

Since pin B5 is not connected on Sound Blaster Pro 2 (CT1600) that should suggest that this card does not need -5v https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/File:Cre … 2_underside.jpg

Try adjusting the Volt. I think Scary can tolerate up to 20 volt. On one TV I had to use 9 volt. Also some TV does not use the Volt to change input. You must chose in RGB input on the TV settings.
