For the Sierra games to work you mean? The issue is 32 bit QuickDraw — which is included on all clean ROMs, switching to 24 bit addressing has no effect, unfortunately.
Yep, they run, but very glitchy. Only way for me to play them is on my SE/30, with it's "dirty" ROM + color card and monitor. But I'd prefer to run them on my IIci instead.
Sorry, it's the all the old AGI games. 2.x versions does seem to work on newer machine, but they don't exist out there on the interweb, only the older 1.x versions.
Version 2 is included here, can you take the engine, and possibly the pallette file, and use it with other game files? Otherwise, if you can't use the pallette file, is it possible to compare the older and new pallette files and work out the differences to do the same updates to the other games?
No, I wouldn't expect so.
Aha, too bad! Then I guess my “just disable QuickDraw in ROM hack” approach might be a bit over simplified too..
Yeah Mini vMac works, but like mentioned I also have my SE/30, which is old enough for the games to run properly. I was just playing around with the idea of putting an older ROM in the IIci.
The results were quite interesting! Some games crash, some errors a lot, but a few actually seem to work! At least the beginning of the games. Police Quest 1.50 normally has some graphical glitches at the first scene, movement of the character isn't visible in som areas. But after I dropped all the PQ game files in the Larry 2.06 folder — it actually works without the those graphical errors. Even more interesting is that King's Quest 1 also seem to work (at least the gameplay, fonts doesn't match so the intro looks weird). That game is not available in color for download anywhere, only an old 1.10 B/W version is to be found. But with Larry's palette file it works in color!Version 2 is included here, can you take the engine, and possibly the pallette file, and use it with other game files? Otherwise, if you can't use the pallette file, is it possible to compare the older and new pallette files and work out the differences to do the same updates to the other games?
