Pressing Ctrl-F4 to swap CDs won't work, just select 'OK' to keep playing. That shouldn't be the reason for the crash though. <br /><br />I know you can get past Act 1 because I have - the remnants of half of my playthrough is in the install. I'll have to test it some more to be sure, but if you can send over the save file it would help a lot.

As someone who’s really into to odd and obscure games, but also recognizes how much of a pain messing with emulators can be, these simple installer packages are fantastic. <br /><br />If I could make a couple of requests/recommendations: I’d love to see Gadget: Past as Future and Eastern Mind 2: Chu-Teng get this treatment. I wouldn’t mind seeing more PS1 games either, like maybe LSD: Dream Emulator or Policenauts.Elwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463031513077633944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-31263981579460122122018-12-05T18:07:43.138+00:002018-12-05T18:07:43.138+00:00Biffman is probably up to his eyeballs in work and...Biffman is probably up to his eyeballs in work and that's why he's not responding.

Not all games from the mid-90s had integrated subtitles. This is like watching a movie at the cinema, which usually doesn't have subtitles.

I expect being patched to v1.05 would have cleared that up, so that's good. It is history now. I hope you upload this to adventurelegends so more people notice this, but that's up to you.<br /><br />I am very lucky that I noticed your post describing how to change the dosbox CONF file to "fullresolution=original". (I believe I noticed it on the Azrael's Tear thread.) Otherwise, I and others like me would probably play all these games with wide black margins... which I realise wouldn't damage gameplay, of course.James Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-38736572787923111942018-10-29T20:06:50.443+00:002018-10-29T20:06:50.443+00:00I'm the same, though I use a TV via HMDI rathe...I'm the same, though I use a TV via HMDI rather than a monitor so maybe that's it. Not really researched it tbh.<br /><br />Also, you got me a bit paranoid with the crash bug so I did a little digging with that. It appears an early distributed ISO was ripped badly (or early prints were buggy) which makes it crash during a transition around the Monkey Lab area at the Tribeca hospital (Act II). I got past this so these ISOs are definitely safe. Biffman 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163763573158975266noreply@blogger.com
