Re: Congo Bongo CGA Composite version

in DOS
Unfortunately, that video used a DOS conversion. The original diskette contained two distinct executables, one for PC, one for PCjr, and the common DOS conversion only includes the PC one. So the guy in the video is running the PC version on his PCjr instead of the PCjr version. I had a look at …

Re: Congo Bongo CGA Composite version

in DOS
The composite color version of Congo Bongo has not been imaged. It has not even been proven that it exists. We have been trying to locate an original copy of this game for years, unsuccessfully. Edit: Your Zaxxon video lacks the presentation of running Zaxxon on a PCjr. The graphics are the same, …

Re: Budokan for DOS...

There is only one non-budget version of the game. The sound card is selected via command line parameter ("adlib", "cms", "mt32", without dash or slash), or after the title screen by pressing ESC to bring up the main menu, then pressing 4 to select the music device. Sound effects will always come …

Re: DOSBox ECE (for Windows & Linux)

I would like to request the conditional removal of a sanity check. ;) In dos/cdrom_image.cpp, it says in line 393: // The maximum storage achieved on a CDROM was ~900MB or just under 100 minutes // with overburning, so use this threshold to sanity-check the start sector. else if (start > 450000) LOG …

Re: Is this a fake Lemmings disk?

I dispute that "the real" 3.5" version supposedly wants the keydisk every time. VGALEMMI on 5.25" and 3.5" disk is the same file, so it must behave the same. It's possible that the poster had a different VGALEMMI.EXE on his 3.5" disk, possibly earlier than 1991-07-19, that was stricter in this …

Re: Is this a fake Lemmings disk?

I don't know anything about copy-protection or Lemmings, but this is what I tried: When I do a fresh install of the game there is no RUSSELL.DAT file and the game insists that I insert the disk for it to start. Then if I put the disk in it will load the game and create a (hidden) RUSSELL.DAT file …

Re: What causes this Basica illegal function call in Friendlyware?

in DOS
I also notice that a common download of this game uses BASIC.EXE from Tandy DOS, which will have no sound at all on a non-Tandy computer, and which most certainly is not the originally-intended interpreter version. Using non-Tandy GWBASIC.EXE v3.23 also solves the illegal function call issue.
