Opry99er Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I found this in my stuff while searching for some manuals to scan. I had almost forgotten I had it. It is a complete manual for Old Dark Caves v2. All the pictures are crudely hand drawn, and Donn Granros wrote his phone number on it for anyone who "Has Problems or Questions." It is complete. Is this available anywhere? If not, would anyone be interested in a scan job? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+adamantyr Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I own it too! I scanned it awhile back and the PDF is linked from the Game Shelf and on WHTECH as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ahh, great! Now... Do you have the Legends manuals for both games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+adamantyr Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Of course! Scanned those too, also on Game Shelf and WTTECH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Wow, just saw them... Sooooo cool. The artwork is a really neat part of these manuals... Uncluttered, black and white sketches. Pure oldschool. Looks like I will be printing some stuff tonight!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Adam, any chance you could PM me a nice big screen capture of your RoA bitmap title screen? Only one I could find online was less than 200 pixels high. Gracias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 adamantyr, The pdf on whtech is all blank, and I cannot find a pdf on the gameshelf.... Curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Gave Caves a solid playthrough last night. I had forgotten how well this was done for what it is. I recommend it highly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DuaneAL Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 When I try running Legend 1 in Classic 99, I get I/O ERROR 25 IN 17990. I am assuming I have a setting wrong. My first try was using the archived files on WHtech and used the Archiver to pull the files out of the compressed file. I figured out that to get it to autoload it needed to be on DSK1, but when it runs, I get a title screen, then the above message. Looking around here, I found this page and tried to run using the files found here. I got the same result. Does anyone have some recommendations?

Opry99er Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Be sure youre using a disk image mounted in the DSK1 slot and not the FIAD version... I think Legends does sector reads/writes IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DuaneAL Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I get a lot of weird characters of many colors (several pages) when i try to list. No obvious data. Got it from both versions i ran. When i open dsk1 in classic 99, it lists all the disk one files for legends. I copied the unzipped files into the dsk1 folder in classic 99.

Tursi Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 When I try running Legend 1 in Classic 99, I get I/O ERROR 25 IN 17990. Post the debug log. It should say exactly why an I/O Error was generated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DuaneAL Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I will try to do that when I get home. Thanks to all for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 ISTR that Legends has some Assembly language support routines merged in with the XB program, and that the routines do some direct sector access on the disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DuaneAL Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I am unfortunately not smart enough to find the debug log. However, i have copied the last four line from the debug window. It looks to me like Opry an Ksarul were trying to lead me down the right path with the FIAD and sector access comments. How do I get a disk image mounted instead of the FIAD version? The four last lines from the debug are listed below Seek past end of file GENERATE Failed reading max 254 bytes DSK1.GENERATE on drive type FIAD Setting file error 5 on file buffer 18 Releasing file buffer 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 That is the debug log. That error's got nothing to do with sector access (it would contain the word "sector", for a start ). That's a read past end of file. It is possible that the file got messed up when you copied it to a FIAD... or there's something else odd about it. Without the actual files I can't diagnose beyond that. To mount the disk image, select the disk you want to change: Change the type to "Image (DSK)", and then enter the filename of the image in the Path box. (The '...' button will let you browse for the disk image filename.) That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm not understanding the feedback provided above... I just downloaded the "grandros_trilogy" archive from post #9, and the files are being shipped as FIAD, but you guys are telling people it needs to be a disk image? I have to presume it was assumed to work back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
