Re: DOSBox ReelMagic Fork

Posted on 2022-03-29, 04:09

I just finished a stream testing things out and have nothing new to report. Things seem to work really well. I encountered a couple glitches, but I was doing glitchy stuff anyway during those playthroughs and I'm certain I triggered them all. :P Yeah I gotta find a better way of doing this. Likely …

I figured out that the lines in the MPEGs as well as the incorrect overlay positioning is happening for me if I have vgadup5hack turned off. If I turn it on, those are both fixed, but the scaling ends up awful. I tend to like to use square pixels for my gameplay and have OBS do aspect correction so …

I just got done streaming RTZ-RM and I noticed a few things. Here are issues I confirmed to be inaccurate: * Sprite overlays don't always disappear in moments where they should. Confirmed examples include zooming in on the cash register in the gift shop and clicking "Look at Duck" on Canuk in duck …

I'm just messing around with RTZ-RM in this right now, and I'm noticing the Alexis video doesn't play when I click on her, but I do get the audio from the video stream. (Played back to Snoot's Farm twice to make sure there wasn't any weirdness in my savefile causing a "normal" glitch.) I have a real …

The only card I have that seemed to work properly with this was my S3 ViRGE, so that's what I'm running on. My purpose is to capture this footage for the internet, so switching to a CRT won't help my case as much as I wish it would. When I get to the Dwarven Mines where when I should be deposited to …

I managed to secure a ReelMagic Lite card and the game works just fine now (other than a consistent crash towards the end of the game.) I guess now the issue I'm having is with some bad vertical banding with this card in this game. It looks like it's somewhat visible in your image but nowhere near …

ReelMagic MPEG Return to Zork

Posted on 2019-10-29, 00:04

I have a Pentium MMX 233 machine downclocked to 120 and have installed a ReelMagic Lite ISA card alongside an SB16. The only video card I have that I can get to function properly with this card is my S3 ViRGE, so I'm using it for now. The game runs fine (other than some bad vertical banding) until I …

If you look at the description of this YouTube video, it implies that there were three PC releases of this game, and one did require an MPEG decoder card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIxRPKOHH58 This is the standard PC CD version, and not the version designed to take advantage of the Sigma MPEG …

Super bummed after reading this post. :( I speedrun (and otherwise obsessively research) Return to Zork and went down this rabbit hole for the sole purpose of getting gameplay footage of Return to Zork MPEG online, both in the form of standard videos and live streams. The bit that I've messed with …

With that in mind, DonutKing, I'm gonna try downgrading my video card from SVGA to a VGA card and see if maybe this helps with the Return to Zork chroma-key issues. Perhaps a Trident T8900D. If it doesn't, I'll probably have to track down a ReelMagic Lite card, which will likely be a huge pain as I …

Thanks. I'll look into it when I get time. I'm beginning to wonder, though, if the Return to Zork issue has to do with them choosing solid black as their keying color alongside the fact that these cards are using a VGA passthrough instead of a VESA connector like the ReelMagic Lite boards did. …

For me, the RTZ freeze was caused by a disc read error. (It could happen in multiple places, but that sign was SUPER common.) Try letting the computer sit for a minute or so while it's frozen and see if the screen flashes telling you there was an error reading drive D:. I tried my original disc, a …

Sure thing. ;--------------------------------------------- ;Initialization file for the ReelMagic Board ;--------------------------------------------- ; for numbers, you can use hexadecimal in the style 0xFFFF or 0FFFFh ; for boolean values you can use <1,Yes,True,on> and <0,No,False,Off> ; for most …

I just bought a new motherboard since I kept getting crashes from disc read errors on RTZ-RM and oddly Simon the Sorcerer. O.O Now it runs just fine except I'm also getting the same issues you are with the keying. To put it shortly, it seems anything that is a true black on screen becomes …
