Hi there,

I am investigating why SuperFrog shows tearing on one of my DOS machines, and I know some games can use different VGA video modes via commandline parameters. For example, Jazz JackRabbit allows passing /v to use an alternative video mode.

I already tried passing /help, /?, etc...

And the manual of the game does NOT mention these possible parameters, if any.

So, any idea on which are the parameters that can be passed to SF.EXE? (Main SuperFrog executable).

Well if the manual doesn't mention them it's unlikely that there are any (although not impossible).
So you observe tearing only on one machine? If the monitor is common you could try swapping VGAs around to see if you can positively blame it on the video card.

I can see it on different monitors. Well, maybe the game doesn't have any parameters and the card is to blame...
