Re: CGA Composite Mode under DOSBOX (Commited r3804)
Posted on 2016-12-11, 19:49
Not to get too off topic, but I found this CGA demo very impressive and was wondering what "mode" this is running in? It does not look like a composite demo, too clean for that. It doesn't look like the 160x100 "graphics" text mode, but maybe it is. Either way, if I had seen this back in the early …

This is weird. Installing the washer now gives you a point, but exiting the cavern still gives you only 9, and not 11 like the cluebook and Amiga walkthrough video show. So this version still has two missing points. Either that or there's a method to getting 11 points that I don't know about. I …

Also, when asking the girl on the beach for the date ("ask for date"), the year is calculated differently. Did not know you could do this. In DOSBox, playing version 1.033, she says it's 4/12/36, which is only off by exactly 80 years. Don't really understand the logic - what is counting the years …

I checked ATARI v1.041, and there are some minor differences. Many empty methods were removed. My guess is that they used a newer compiler that removed unused methods. They seem to be using a slightly newer version of the SCI System scripts. For example, the List.at method was changed from (method ( …

OK, I managed to find version 1.033. I decompiled all 3 versions (PC 1.023, PC 1.033, AMIGA 1.036) and found out that v1.033 is identical to v1.036.

I would gladly decompile and check version 1.033 if I had access to it. I also found that SHP contains save games for this version, so veryfing might be easier than you thought: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Misc/SaveGames.html

hah, yeah- I have this on my Linux installation at work for shits and giggles. Pretty cool, but it'd be nice if you weren't limited to a preset font selection (would be nice to use my oldschool PC font pack with it). Too bad that the phosphor decay effect (which it terms "burn-in" for some reason) …

Re: When did you first get acces to the Internet and what sites did you visit at your first time ?
Posted on 2016-01-18, 19:05
1993, calling a dial-up of a university, and logging-in with an account of my friend's family member. Everything was textual, and the world wide web was so obscure that we didn't even hear about it. So we mostly hanged around IRC. The only "sites" we could visit were gopher documents, or telnet - …

Guys, Thanks you for your hard work and dedication. This is a great ongoing effort. The only downside is that your drivers are scattered all over this thread. I started to collect them in my SkyDrive. You can use this link to view it: http://sdrv.ms/1aOkEpl NRS/tikalat/Other interested parties: You …

Regarding the decaping: You gave the analysis of the ROMs (which I understand are just lookup tables?). Does this process also help analyze the functional logic of the chip?

OK - I take that back: I just noticed that a few Hi-Res adventures were indeed ported to the C64.
Re: Sierra games - The great mystery

I believe Sierra's lack of C64 support started even before the AGI era: their earlier so-called Hi-Res Adventure titles (Mystery House, etc.) were never ported to C64 either, and I have no doubt it was technically possible.
