Try to set the CRU switch 1 off 2 off 3 on 4 on 5 off 6-7-8 on. I know on my WHTScsi that is 1200

Awesome it's in my keep folder.

That's what I get for typing after midnight when I should be in bed snoozing away. Btu Tahts okya.

My universe, my definitions. This isn't D&D. Goblins could technically be fairies based on folklore. It's a rabbit hole. The playable character is female.

Thanks for starting this club! One of my projects during "lockdown" back in 2020 was to build a DOS gaming machine. I grew up with DOS, and while DOSBOX and PCEM are fine solutions, they aren't 100% accurate, and I thought it would be a lot of fun to set up a machine in the corner of my office when I feel like playing some good old DOS games. It's a bit of a pain to get good parts here in Japan, but I lucked out when searching on Yahoo Auctions and got a great deal on a tested motherboard complete with CPU (P133), video card, and RAM, so from there it was pretty easy to get a working system up and running. I even managed to find a nice little 13" CRT monitor for next to nothing. I already had a Roland MT-32 and Sound Canvas (I was using them with DOSBOX/PCEM), so it was just a matter of finding a case, floppy drive, CDROM drive, and decent sound card. After doing some research, I went and got an ESS Audio Drive on Ebay, and it's an excellent little card... no MIDI port glitch, excellent sound quality, and nice FM music. The most difficult part of the project was finding space! I ended up setting it all up on my printer stand in the corner, and it all just barely fits: I store the clipboard I use as a mouse tray under the stand when not in use, so it's very compact! Anyway, one nice thing about this system is that I can disable the caches to throttle the speed down to roughly 386/40 and 486/33 or so. This lets me play speed-dependent games like Wing Commander without having to fool around with mo'slo or whatever. It was a lot of fun putting it together, and even a lot of fun getting used to the quirks of DOS gaming again... but the most fun of course is playing DOS games! DOOM, Duke 3D, and Blood just feel so right on an actual DOS machine. However, I mostly use this machine to play RPGs, my favorite genre. I completed Ultima III and Lands of Lore, both for the first time, on this machine and had a blast playing them. Of course, it's not all wonderful. This hardware is getting old and difficult to maintain. The first CRT monitor I was using died, taking the video card out with it (or maybe the other way around). Most recently, my CDROM drive stopped reading discs, and finding a working replacement was actually pretty difficult; the one I got reads discs fine, but the tray is flaky.

I regret getting involved in this, but yes, yes, yes.

Ah, of course they are lol Another thing I wanna know is, can the screen resolution be bumped up at all over the official version?

That's actually a good idea. Buy a double male DB9 and buy a double female DB9. I'm surprised they don't advertise it like that where it could be a "reverse adapter" if you buy one double male and one double female. So it's just the pin remap adapter. That's why all those joysticks sites say wire color to color, not pin to pin, in case you got an Ethernet crossover cable by accident which happened to me when I originally got my Toodles Cthulhu installed by my joystick maker. Funny thing is my guy who wired it refused to follow the directions on the internet and insist on pin to pin wiring, and one of my cables happened to be a crossover ethernet cable and only the Dreamcast worked on the Cthulhu. We all live and learn.

Yeah I'd grab that 14" PVM to upgrade from my 9 if I could and that SFC system to use with it since I've got an AV Famicocm already. :\

I remember reading that somewhere for the CRU >1200. Now i just need to figure out what switches set that! my brain is mush right now..

And if you're collecting them for the purpose of waiting until they gain value so you can profit on someone else's lack of impulse control, then you leave the shitty old label how it is, because in some completely irrational way, the price gougers have convinced the lost souls who can't help themselves that "shitty original condition" = high value.

The Black Knight? Does it meet our criteria? Boss Battle - Criteria A) The boss(es) should be "Bigger 'n' Badder" than ordinary enemies. B) The boss battle(s) must be life or death for both of you. Either you die or the boss dies. One of you dies. C) You must defeat the boss to advance further in the game.

Maybe it's clogged with blank ink? K-R.

This may be helpful:

If you remove PDMA OFF, and type PDMA at the command line, it -should- be set to OFF by the OS. The Geneve checks the revision text in the EPROM to determine the setting. What CRU address are you using? Try >1200. MDOS used dedicated CRUs for SCSI, IDE, and TIPI up until recently. I'm pretty sure the loader was also locked to >1200. I don't recall looking at that code and I'm not sure if @9640News did so either.

Added! Added!

I'm not one of the few coders of the bunch here that would really read that, make sense of it, maybe offer up any tips and all that. What I can say though is I didn't follow a lot, but understood at a high level I think where this was going, but thanks to that YT sample that's utterly stunning. I can only imagine how far you could in theory push this within the limits of a standard SNES cart size allowed say if you wanted to make a game and have this level (or similar) music going as it would realy heighten the experience. Few went this deep into the weeds, Koshiro did with that epic set of streamed samples to do that music in ActRaiser and specifically the two pieces of symphony music he pulled for two events in the game. I could only really compare what you have here to something like that.

If this is a remake of Doom, and Doom II for the Jaguar, will it include every map? and the Cyberdemon?

The flashback controller pinout is all over the place, not a mirror of the sears/intellivision2 pinout. So I don't think those adapter cables can be used in the reverse application unless you change the gender at each end. 8bitwidgets should be able to make an adapter cable for your application.

As mentioned, the gameplay id hampered a bit by slow turn-ability, but since you can play a entire tournament with everything from 0-9 opponents, you can adjust it. As actual lynx cart, its ‘all-over-the-place’ on eBay. If you want it for Evercade, you may want to hurry and find a Lynx 2-collection.

I've decided not to pursue publishing this game with 2Minds. That's not to mean I don't want it published at all, it just means I need to find someone else to make Game Gear games. I made a few changes to the Flying Hamburgers game. I noticed that strawberry milkshakes (which are pink) shoot at you while all the other food that shoots at you are green. So I changed the strawberry milkshake which was pink to the same shade of green of the shooting sprites. I also made it so the burger can go lower on the screen. This was back when the score was at the bottom. But I moved it to the top but never moved the burger's boundary down a little. So I did. I also made it so the boss appears after you shoot 50 enemies and not 60. This was done to round up the game and make it more uniform. I still don't know what's wrong with my Game Gear, as I tried level 6 on it with redone colors and it still gave me shadows. I guess it just needs to be recapped, or there's some sort of display problem with my Game Gear Everdrive. I found the rest of my Intellivision games. I had a bin that had A-S. I have so many of them I needed to put T-Z and homebrews in a separate bin. I found the T-Z bin today after searching for it for a couple of days now. I searched in the pantry and the garage, but as it turned out they were in my room the whole time.
