A friend of mine got a laptop that came with Vista. He has had nothing but trouble with it. With very little extra installed on it but Office and Firefox, the whole PC will lockup from a script that Gmail uses for autosave. It constantly will drop its wireless connection and the only thing that will …

While I am no lawyer, I would imagine that it might be technically illegal, but why would they even bother if it can't possibly be an aid to piracy? I might be able to contribute for a number of games, especially Sierra games. Are you going to add version information? Many games have more than one …

Create a folder on your harddrive for the game and in it, copy the PATCHES folder and the files: SINST.EXE or INSTALL.EXE (depending on what version of the game you have) 65535.MAP FLYTHRU.SEQ INSTALL.HLP INSTALL.SCR INSTALL.TXT RESOURCE.000 RESOURCE.AUD RESOURCE.CFG RESOURCE.MAP RESOURCE.SFX SIERRA …

I'll be keeping my eye on this. You may need to include version information. Do you need to register to DL?

If you are playing the game from the HDD, be sure to set paths in your RESOURCE.CFG to point to itself with ".\" resAUD = .\ resSFX = .\ patchDir = .\;.\patches

Would it be possible to create some kind of API wrapper for it, something like DosFreak posted about for Windows 2000 to XP? I'm sure that it would be more work than it would be worth, though.

it would be a good idea to have a single file for a complete game including all game data. This is MiniMax's point. It should not be setup to include game data files. It could encourage the distribution of copyrighted game data files. Whatever your own feelings are about abandonware, nothing about …

The P2DOSPAT.EXE patch does the same thing as p2dosxp.zip, just that the batch file in p2dosxp.zip has been modified to run in XP. If this works, it is probably from installing it in DOSBox -- no path errors. Another thing to try is an installer that Harrison Moccio made. It is like the installer …

Why would you save a screenshot as an RTF? If you are on Windows and you don't have any image editing software, just use MS Paint and save it as a PNG.

Good idea. Competition is good for the consumer, so I thought "Why not give the front-end programmers some inspiration for new features?". Competition can be good, but standardization is important, too. Can we have one standard for import/export? If one frontend didn't have a feature that was in an …

In your other thread you said that you do not have the CD anymore. The Monkey Madness CD version had CD audio tracks for the music and no MIDI. You will have no music without the CD.
