elianda: No it was no fake, it was just an earlier one. And I am not joking whether you want to believe me or not. Then 7 was a version which was before NC 5

Even though I don´t have the slightest idea, where it fits in with the rest of that family of filemanagers.

Or maybe NC 7 was a hackjob of NC (I wish I could tell you more, but I can´t)

Are there any other Games that utilize the 8514A?

It seems that the Razzle Dazzle screensaver makes use of it...

Hoping it may allow for 1024x768 resolution there, but still need to see if I can get 86Box or another emu with 8514A support going to see.

19 year necropost, is that a record?

It might be.

Things that were almost new when this post was made are now vintage.

Nvidia's 8800GT hadn't even been released yet when this thread was last posted in, and the 8800 Ultra was the fastest GPU available.

Also, the 8514A was only 20 years old then... now it is 39.

But hey, if any of those users are still alive hopefully they see this reply and can finally have closure. 😅

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
