Re: DK Sockmaster and VCC

Got them both running in MESS windowed at 640x480, but still too slow. The PC that I'm using is pretty old and has, as they say, lol onboard video. The adjustment that seems to be needed is located at >File >Properties >Buy a new computer.

VCC worked great. Good color and movement, only small glitches in the sound, likely for the same reason as above. Played DK Sock Master US version with difficulty set to 'Hard' and actually made it past the 2nd pie board. Not record setting, but finished with 79,400. Thanks for the tips! [ThumbsUp.jpg]

As far as MESS is concerned, you insert the DSK image through the "Devices" menu, selecting "Floppy Zero" for the drive. You can view the contents of the "disk" with the DIR command.

The main DK program should have a BAS extension. Enter the RUN command, followed by the filename in quotes. For example, to run DK.BAS, enter in:

RUN"DK"

As an alternative, you might find the VCC emulator easier (and faster) to use.

For both emulators, the 640x480 graphics mode also runs much faster than the mode you have it in now. :-)
