I would recommend going to the legendary edition at some point, as the bugs you mentioned are fixed in it. Your saves might be cross compatible, but there would be the problem of the experience rate differential, as they made it actually possible to get to level 60 a single playthrough Thanks for …

But... DOSBox Staging is really close to regular DOSBox. If ScummVM is out of the question, look at the DOSBox config file, you should certainly enable Tandy mode. For the slow mouse, maybe adjust mouse sensitivity and/or cycles ? Again, ScummVM would be preferable.

Last time I wrote anything in Ruby was 10 years ago. And yet the latest C# releases have brought the Range operator, which I used to use all the time when I was writing Ruby. Weird how programming languages are still bringing features that were "new" decades ago...

I have real hardware that is not period correct. I prefer it that way, it enables me to play a very wide range of DOS and Windows 9X games that won't run on emulators with a single machine. It's also the same machine I had back in the day, so it's period correct. :D Any real hardware has its place …

Period correct-ness does not matter.

Search the Web and Apply the US 1.09 Patch And then do the same with the NOCD for the US 1.09 patch Copy all the video files to the game's installation directory. Enjoy. For installing the game, there is a fixed INSTALL.EXE floating around to.

I think the Atari ST soundchip was a failure. Even at the time. What an absolute shame. Every tune I've ever heard coming out of it has made me regret having ears. Well, except some demoscene stuff.

I was more concerned about the physical side of things. Can one really install 4 or 6 CD-ROM drives in any retro machine ?

With every CD mounted in DOSBox you can tell the game to use a different letter for each CD -> No disc swapping. Same with Under A Killing Moon. If you use a real machine, well...

I've wanted that since the DOS days... Even earlier. Instead I got the 1991 T2 game by LJN (bad !), but on the Atari ST (even worse !)

The 32X port is recognizable as DOOM. The SNES "port" isn't.

I made a retro synth track on my vp6 music tower to share its Peter Gunn. Its more of a parody expression that it isn't just a gunshot but has words too. (not like originally intended) Hardware / software is well over 20 years old now and I haven't seen much improvement since only I think midi …
