The game is still not acting properly. I was able to get 5 screens in. Every time it transitions to a new screen, it shows the animation of him coming back to life from bones again. This should not be playing between every transition. If I recall correctly when testing this last year, I only made …

Dear friend (jrdennisoss), are you all right? You're out of sight. Let me know about you... Sorry for the long radio silence Bobbytoz. (I guess I didn't get an email notification when you originally posted that) A LOT has been going on in my life since earlier this summer and I haven't really had …

Just an update as I have been silent for a while: Unfortunately my work situation has ramped up again as well multiple critical things (when it rains it storms :-( ) that have come up in my personal life that I have to deal with. Hopefully in a couple months or so things will have died back down to …

Just a quick status update on this as I have been silent for a while.... My work situation has died down and I am finally in the wake of the burnout from that... I am already starting to feel much more motivated again to hack at a fun project like this. :-) I have also been slowly hacking at a …

Hi, maybe stupid request ? Can you make dosbox option on scale videos (mpeg) using bilinear filtering like OpenGL do it, and maybe a 2d games too on top of reelmagic videos. I mean when i play mpeg directly from cd it looks better and from dosbox its looks like neighborhood (nearest ) pixelated …

There has been no news for a long time, is everything okay with us? On my side: Unfortunately my day job as of recently has been very demanding; to the point where at the end of the day and on the weekends I am just too burned out to focus on something like this. :-( Hopefully in less than a month …

Have you tried LOADFIX? It can cure many forms of seemingly inexplicable program misbehavior. :) the CD image of this game is not original and could be dubious, or this edition could be full of original bugs with the MPEG part not being tested enough (or both). Yeah that's pretty much why I'm …

I have briefly re-checked all the 10 games - everything seems to be fine! Awesome sauce! :-) The FPS sometimes drops to as low as 3. I thought that was because of using dosbox_heavydebug.exe , but no - it is the same with regular dosbox.exe . That happens for me in the first logo intro of "Man …

You do not list video messages crashing under "Known Issues"? No because it has the same crash/lockup whether using the emulator or on the real Maxima setup here so I don't consider that to be a defect of the emulator. It emulates the real setup, crashes and all. :-) However, I do have a GitHub …

Sure, attached! But it is the very beginning, so you do not actually need a save. Just press ESC to skip the intro videos and then the driving video - and you would meet Jerry (or you can just press F3 and load my save). Her first greeting video is mostly fine, but then you must choose any line to …
