Re: Best CGA & Hercules monochrome games

Posted on 2021-08-17, 21:36

Eye of Beholder 1 runs on CGA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVEeZK2AfnQ It certainly does, but sadly I was not able to emulate its CGA version on Hercules. Perhaps someone with more patience and skills will be able to make it work one day. Seems to work just fine in DOSBox with SIMCGA 4.2 (just …

Damn, wish I would have found this thread earlier, that would have saved me the time. Searched here, but apparently not good enough ;) TLDR: Download .zip file and copy OUTRUN.COM into your game folder Press 4. to play in hercules mode.

get rid of memsize equ and replace it with a lable at the bottom of the app [section .bss] alignb 16 resw 256 end_app: then your start code becomes mov sp,end_app mov bx,sp shr bx,4 First of all, let me thank you for suggesting NASM. That piece of advice was really *golden* :smiley: I have not used …

Re: I remember hercules being sharper, is this me?

I agree with you that DOSBox's Hercules emulation is, um, rather "raw" and not close to the output of a TTL monitor. However, that's the case with all known PC emulators. A usual TTL CRT had a green, amber or white phosphor screen. Depending on the colour, different phosphors were used, each with a …

Seriously, though, I suppose what you're looking for is advice on scaling methods. Have you tried SVN with output=opengl, scaler=none, glshader=sharp ? I've been trying to get this to work, but the result is pretty much the same. Even with the scaling, glshader and the fixed resolution . Obviously …

I remember hercules being sharper, is this me?

Posted on 2021-07-05, 09:52

I just watched this video: https://youtu.be/4mrfzpezZpQ That's how I remember the sharpness of the monitor I had back in the day. Although smaller and the shape was curved to all the edges, and preferred night time to avoid the occasional glare. I tried to run a couple of hercules games in DOSBox ( …

in DOS
Something a bit unclear to me: * Are we talking about "Tides of darkness" or "Beyond the dark portal" or both ? - replacing DOS4G inside the WAR2.EXE with DOS32A Did you try: 1. not replacing, but running it like this "dos32a war2.exe" ? 2.running a memtest, just to make sure the memory is ok ? 3. …

Re: Sound Driver Pack

I don't know if it's considered to be a sound driver, but "Sound, Graphics & Aircraft Upgrade" for Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0 requires SBTALKER.EXE and SBTALK.BAT from the Sound Blaster installation package to be able to speak. Thought about it: If it needs soundcard software to run properly, …
