Hi,
Many games have an initial check for a 286 or later processor and will disable some features or won't run at all on XT machines.

I've been patching some of these games with variable success on my Turbo XT with NEC V20. I couldn't check if they will run on a standard 8088/8086.

1. Monkey Island 2 (refuses to run on XT) - Runs fine with patch. Scroll is a bit slow.

2. Magicland Dizzy (only accepts EGA mode on XT) - Runs fine in VGA mode with patch. A bit slow in screen with large sprites.

3. Wrath of the Demon (only accepts CGA mode on XT) - Runs fins in VGA with patch. Speed is very good.

4. Lotus and Lotus 3 - Partially load, but show a black screen.

Bellow are some IPS files if anyone want to try.
