Thanks guys...The idea is a launcher like the c64 and amiga but all old Dos classics..
@msantos...Every game im gonna use i make like this first for testing....I have quite a few on the go now the biggest is Terra Nova at 500 meg... If you want to put them on your site then your welcome and i will post them as i do them in this thread...They will be all my testers but l made them all the same way as the one above so they are perfectly usable and playable. Let me know and il post some more..... ALT+ENTER gives full screen... CTRL+F12 speeds up the game... CTRL+F9 Exits the game CTRL+F10 frees the mouse from the window |

thanks friend. I can think of something for people to enjoy the classics. As I publish in my thread, you could be publishing your creations in this thread. between the two threads so we would have a good collection of classics for all friends to enjoy.
I give importance to being able to play with joypad in the portables I post on my blog. in my blog post I hate launchers with several games. I'd rather go play a game. I'm glad you want to collaborate and publish your creations on my blog. if you create separate games of any system would be great. keep in touch friend. |

If every release is a single game, could you add a game icon to the .exe?

ok.
would be possible to have an option to learn the control keys or access the configuration menu? Last edited by msantos; 26 November 2012 at 15:37. |

Great work, I like it.
I get this message in one of the boxes that opens, is it normal? Last edited by Arnie; 14 February 2013 at 22:44. |
