Did you try going in from the other side of the graveyard? Yes, but the outcome is the same. After playing a new game, same character the undead unguent works fine :D, so I'm a bit confused. The best indicator is the ghost in my first post. After applying the unguent, she still keeps darting around …

Thanks for checking root42, maybe there is a patch. Since its 1.00, I will start a search. Tried doing it slowly, this time, so I used the slowest speed, then I made sure it wasn't over configured, but the result is the same. I can use the unguent but I still really need to avoid those ghosts. Some …

I couldn't duplicate the experience. Although I noticed one thing - entering from the top puts you immediately in a hotspot where ghosts are designed to attack you. If you enter from the bottom, even before using the unguent, you can stay put at the bottom of the screen and use it. So this might …

You do lose 2 points. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the very high speed setting you have? Why not try setting it to the slowest, waiting a second after applying the unguent, and then going in? I will try that on my next run , thank you. It also made me happy to see somebody else …

Maybe its related to a timer, since the "undead unguent " should only work for a while. However, the mandrake root can be taken if you enter the screen from the North. (do it quickly) It saves you a 100 silver at the expense of some points probably. Now I will continue my quest 😁

After using the "undead unguent", I seem to keep dying in the graveyard, and I don't understand why. How can I solve this ?

I've been watching the last video's of the 8-bit guy, and it feels like he has to do them. Its not fun to watch anymore and I catch myself stopping them a couple of minutes in. Its depressing to watch and feels like a chore. Always felt like that with him. While he managed to sell his badly googled …

Wow, this thread took off. What a relief! It isn't me, so its the full-time job and the money. Makes perfect sense, no wonder he lacks authenticity and passion. I think they are running out of material although I must admit I can always watch a good restore with retrobrightning 😎

Unless you use special software, you do not get an exact copy. Did you have an example in mind? These things don't come up very often. As I said, there are things like fuzzy bytes (or fuzzy bits, rather), but those are uncommon. IIRC, a lot of 80's games had keydisk protections, special tracks, …

Good point darry, I would also suggest to look at the traces from the battery holder. I remember having trouble because one of the contacts got disconnected from its trace.

Okay, but a disk image is literally a byte-by-byte copy of whatever is on the disk, regardless of whether DOS or Windows Unless you use special software, you do not get an exact copy. And I'm not even sure if all copy protection schemes are supported when you do. Let alone be usable in dosbox : …

Yes, it's too much maze like for my poor brain. Doom II and Quake 1 is the sweet spot for me. I forgot about Quake, I'm sure I have it somewhere in the attic. Although I'm not sure if it is version 1 or 2 as I remember playing it under Windows. I feel the same. I think it's the level design. Duke3D …

I think they have a lot of excess files in those GOG downloads. Search for a folder with .EXE/.COM files, and try to copy that one.
