Where are you running it? DOS doesn't just support LFN out of the box, so your problem might be there instead of a file manager.
Tue Aug 03 20:45:16 +0000 2021Replying to @bergmayer and @benjedwards
That would be the problem then. You'd either need one of the custom builds of DosBox that use LFN by default, or you'd need to load an LFN "driver" in your current build of DosBox.
Tue Aug 03 20:47:40 +0000 2021Replying to @bergmayer and @benjedwards
Also be aware that the standard build of DosBox just might not be able to run a TSR you want, because it doesn't emulate the environment 100%. I believe DosBox-X has built in LFN support you can enable in the config file.

You're cutting out the middle man, as it is an application native to your platform, thus gaining speed and accuracy, and allowing for more new options. In this particular case the AdLib emulation is replaced for more accurate one than that of the main DosBox branch, for example.

Characters speak gibberish in cutscenes, and are subtitled. I know there's an English demo that the devs made. I also know there's a exe update that changes some stuff into English. But the game's scripts are simple text files, which means it wouldn't be hard to translate at all.
Thu Aug 05 00:35:22 +0000 2021Replying to @cookedmonty
Yeah, so I just looked, and the English exe just turns the game's internal messages (The "press ESC" on the bootup, key bindings, etc) into English, but literally everything else is loaded from the script files on the CD, menus included.

It's called a cockpit, and it's pretty standard for vehicular games. It changes based on a vehicle you board. Each has graphical indicators for speed and ammo, and an occasional animated element.

I actually fully believe that a Duke Nukem revival is possible. But there are many possible approaches to it, and the character or passage of time will have to be addressed in one way or another, so it can't be a product that appeals to everyone, & therefore a risky one.

That's like saying Russians are western. Finland has enough of its own identity tech-wise to stand alome. What we should be asking is which videogames made it there in the 80s and 90s that inspired and influenced future programmers/designers.

Computer monitors aren't TVs. *Most* IBM PC graphics modes are either 70hz or 60hz. Like, the most widely used VGA mode is 13h, and it's 320x200 at 70Hz.

Jazz Jackrabbit runs in a weird unchained mode 320x199, which makes it both letterboxed and 60Hz.

I understand. This is clearly not one of those cases. Artifact colors require special patterns that are absent here, and the overall clarity still decreases, so it never actually looks "better", just possibly more colorful. This would become even *more* blurry.

These are completely rewritten, and don't have data in the same format as the originals.
It's also not a question of being superior, but the question of preference. Mac originals are drag & drop, but black & white and silent. NES versions are colorful, menu driven, & have music.

Wed Aug 11 21:22:16 +0000 2021Replying to @MobyGamer and @DarkBlueMonkey
What are other cases of Battlezone's controls being used? What is the % of ports that even used that same scheme? Battlezone's controls are essentially a one off, and therefore any classification of it is pointless. There's never a need to refer to them outside of Battlezone.
Wed Aug 11 21:40:46 +0000 2021Replying to @MobyGamer and @deABREU
Yes, that's what I'm looking for. My memory tells me that the scheme wasn't really popularly referred to it as such until some time in the late 90s, maybe around 1997-8. But of course it could just be that's what it for popular, and not originated at that time.
Wed Aug 11 21:48:21 +0000 2021Replying to @MobyGamer and @DarkBlueMonkey
My issue with that is when people say "Grim Fandango has tank controls" they don't instantly have to make a verbal asterisk of ", but not like Battlezone." It's exempt from that discussion.
Wed Aug 11 21:50:41 +0000 2021I had no idea they've updated the late 90s BattleZone action-rts hybrids a few years ago, and they are currently available. Those games were the shit.
Wed Aug 11 21:52:54 +0000 2021Replying to @MobyGamer and @DarkBlueMonkey
There's been a dozen of Battlezone games, and how many of them have these tank controls exactly? So I actually have to add an asterisk when discussing them. "Tank controls" has meant RE controls for a long time, and if the term existed in arcades, it went by the way of "boards".
Wed Aug 11 21:56:58 +0000 2021Replying to @MobyGamer and @DarkBlueMonkey
Actually, all joking aside, I wouldn't. I'd have to think about the other one, and realize "oh, yes, you're in a TANK". RE controls discussion has been around long enough for me to instantly have that image when I hear the term.
Wed Aug 11 22:05:34 +0000 2021Replying to @DarkBlueMonkey and @MobyGamer
I understand, and this isn't really an evidence of much, BUT compare Twitter searches for
"Tank controls" battle zone (incl. "battlezone"): https://x.com/search?q=%22tank%20controls%22%20battle%20zone&src=typed_query&f=live
with
"tank controls" "resident evil": https://x.com/search?q=%22tank%20controls%22%20%22resident%20evil%22&src=typed_query&f=live
latter is being mentioned at least ONCE A DAY
Wed Aug 11 22:28:03 +0000 2021Replying to @MobyGamer and @DarkBlueMonkey
Yes, I agree. It's the argument that was essentially built into the joking observation I was making. A tank controls like Battlezone, which Resident Evil doesn't. Maybe one day I'll actually search through the old magazines to see if I can find when RE's controls got named that.

There are at least 40k currently documented DOS games out there. Since it's an open platform, and many games are regional/forgotten, I think it's safe so assume the actual number is easily x2 that or more.

Despite it being awkward and a tad too crass, I do have a soft spot for the first Red Comrades game. The second game though jumped the shark right in its intro, and it was all downhill from there.

Ok, the anime is *much* better. But it is so weird that it adapts the games so directly. I guess the main feature is that every moment is so intricately animated and acted in place of that the games had to offer. And I do enjoy the soundtrack with game music arrangements.

Sun Aug 22 22:28:10 +0000 2021Replying to @dosnostalgic
It must feel crazy to have just shipped a game, and then having to redo it all over again and remake *all* the assets from the ground up.

Sun Aug 22 23:02:00 +0000 2021Replying to @pironomy
The assets are completely different when you actually see them side by side. All the animations are new too, as rendering and animation systems are also different on these platforms.
Sun Aug 22 23:03:45 +0000 2021Replying to @pironomy
Also remember that Conker's development started 4 years prior to its eventual release, so no. There was nothing to compress there. Not like that's how things work with 3D assets anyway.

Mon Aug 23 01:13:12 +0000 2021Replying to @JakeNelsonMN
Soviet dubbing was usually *extremely* well done, this example is from the 80s when not as much attention was paid to it anymore. I think the reason for it is the word "parsecs" which is the same, so the translator decided to structure the sentence accordingly.
Mon Aug 23 01:18:17 +0000 2021Replying to @joshuadotworks
All official Russian translations have been awful since the late 90s, so I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a number given at all! (That was a joke. Kind of. But no, I'm sure they didn't keep it. Not many people have even seen the original dub.)
Mon Aug 23 01:32:59 +0000 2021Replying to @kalirion
Correct, but it was the easiest way of explaining it to a non-Russian speaker. You can pronounce восемь in one breath with a more or less single mouth movement, while you can't do that for others.

Psychonauts 2 is essentially Psychonauts, but more and better. At least that's my impression so far.

The thing with this is, EFIGS localizations are standard, and there are many companies set up ready to go to do just that. DF stated in the past that they don't even know where the famous Russian version of Psychonauts came from, as they never were sent any of it for approval.

Sun Aug 29 18:07:17 +0000 2021I, of course, could also nitpick Psychonauts 2 to death because it's not a perfect game, but I won't. None of those got in the way for me. The rest of the game more than makes up for its shortcomings. BUT I totally fucking hate the whole one save slot bullshit.

It's not about the PC being shafted. Multiple profiles don't solve the issue of not being able to save at different points in the game without having to restart it.

A bunch of games have somewhat decent sample playback through pc speaker. But in case of Shadowgate it's because the game pauses while the samples are played the most resources can be dedicated to playback. Hence the sound quality.

Yeah, if you buy something that was based on a licensed property, and you want to re-release it, you have to renegotiate the property. That's how it works everywhere. Steam, GOG, whatever. Yet Zoom were happy to put up whatever was handed to them.

Of course. Never said it would. My point has always been that Zoom is so small, they get away with stuff bigger outlets wouldn't.
Tue Aug 31 20:44:44 +0000 2021Replying to @SlackR84
Zoom is absolutely at fault. They know what business they are in. They are not children oblivious to the world. If they choose not to vet what gets uploaded to them despite obvious signs (ALIENS licenses, anyone?) then yeah, it's on them too.
