Re: DOSBox ReelMagic Fork

Sure enough, when I manually loaded the "SBLASTER.COM" TSR driver from "Return to Zork" (from the "C:\RTZ-RM\DRIVERS" folder) before starting the "Entity" game, all of a sudden the 'Video Messages' sound started working. Unfortunately that does not work for me... Probably because I still use the …

Update: I have created a new release for this: https://github.com/jrdennisoss/dosboxrm/releases/tag/2022-03-12 "Entity" videos should now play reasonably well in the emulator. Awesone, thank you so much! "Entity" now plays much better, although not exactly correctly (see below). As for the other …

Unfortunately, I could not get the MAP, the person from еbay refused to do a scan even for payment. You are talking about this person? https://www.ebay.com/itm/294850959845 It would be nice to have the map scanned, but that's quite an expensive lot :( I only have "The Horde" in jewel case (the MPEG …

I did find one thing though that may cause a problem on the real setup, but not in the emulator. The "FMPDRV.EXE" file on the ISO file is not properly invoked by the game (e.g. correct card config and working directory), and is likely not even the correct file! When this is invoked by the game and …

No working mouse in the French setup menu. I seem to recall having to preload something like `MOUSE.COM` back in the day... Possibly something like this is needed here? Mouse works just fine in win 3.11 on this machine though. Oh, of course you need a mouse driver to be loaded in autoexec.bat for …

We started the install but could not proceed as the installer would not take any user input. (attached screenshot) You mean that pressing any button (like arrows to change the language to English) does not do anything? That's strange. The install works for me on both PCs and in your DOSBox. Maybe …

Uka, I created another RM probe test package. Would you kindly be able to run tests 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, and 11 again please as well as the newly added test 12 please? This would just be on the ReelMagic Lite / 386SX machine. With the exception of the newly added #12, the test files are all the same …

Well, the good news is I think I know why the games are acting all screwed up... (well, not the video issues seen in "Entity", but the game itself getting all screwed up) You mean things like scenes skipping / keys not responding in "Space Ace" and drivers not being recognized in "Crime Patrol"? …

And here is the test of Maxima! The official version of drivers is 2.30, but when loaded in DOS it still says it is 2.21. Maybe they did not bother to change the number? Or maybe there is no real difference - the results are very similar to those of ReelMagic Lite. Tests 01-04 - everything is fine! …

[*] Note any observations that seem off. OK, here is my first system: the original ReelMagic Lite (with feature connector) and drivers version 2.21 (not 2.01 - I forgot I have already upgraded that). Tests 01-04 - everything is fine! Tests 05-06 - the video plays fine, but then the system freezes …

Any chance you would be able to help out by running these tests on your real (preferably 1.11) setup? Sure, I can try that. Maybe later today or tomorrow! In fact, I have two old PCs with such cards - one is ReelMagic (branded FullVideo) Lite @386SX and the other is Maxima@PentiumMMX. You probably …

Update: I have created a new release for this: https://github.com/jrdennisoss/dosboxrm/releases/tag/2022-03-05 "The Horde" video should now play reasonably well. MPEG tools have also been updated to be able to convert "The Horde" videos to standard MPEG-1 format. Thanks! "The Horde" now indeed …

Here's a pic of the card. I'm pretty sure it's the Maxima model, but embarrassed to say I am not 100% positive about that. Oh, yes, it is a 1995 Maxima card. I have it as well, but it is not the ideal choice, you know. "Return to Zork" won't work with it the correct way. Some time ago I have …

Step-by-step instruction how to run ReelMagic games would be helpful! Do i need to install RM drivers first? Where to get them and which version is better? PS - what i tried: launсhed RTZ - nothing happened; tried to install RM drivers - hardware is not detected 🙃 You do not need to install the …

Can you tell me where in "Return to Zork" or "Man Enough" you expect to see the subtitles or how to enable? Sorry, my mistake. I must have confused "Man Enough" with "Flash Traffic" - there are no subtitles in the first scenes of "Man Enough" for some reason, even on the real hardware (must be an …

Awesome! We haven't actually tested "Man Enough" yet but that's pretty cool it works! Thanks for your great work! Well, I have only tested the very beginning of it - and it is not possible to complete it anyway as the disk 2 of 3 has not yet been dumped... And do you know why the subtitles are not …

Tried a few ReelMagic games: "Return to Zork" and "Man Enough" seem to work! Although there are no subtitles displayed in videos for some reason. "Flash Traffic" and "The Horde" launch fine, but no video is seen. And "Crime Patrol", "Drug Wars" etc. do not recognize the card. "Space Ace" launches, …
