Alrighty. SBI is done, and should be up on DCStuff. However, I seem to be having trouble accessing DCStuff, and I don't know if it's just my computer that's acting up, or if it really is not working.

it must be some firewall setting on my computer or something. I'm using my new laptop, so everything is all screwy at the moment, while I get used to it.

I downloaded the Discjuggler image for version 1.2 and burned it. The program loads up to a screen of text that flash for just a second and then...no more video output via the VGA box, yet I do hear the CD accessing.

I burned an image before I relased it, and I just booted it up again
to be sure.. just to make sure the controller in the first port, unplug
any others and if you're using the kb try it in the 2nd port..
Vmu in the first slot of the controller.

Did you get any errors from discjuggler?

Although I do sometimes get some bizarre errors when loading
it up but it's mainly "Rouge" in the Welcome Rogue is scrambled..

Well i would like to add one more in here if you dont mind kamjin. I am not sure way back if you have seen a request from me about C-Dogs. This one might be a little harder but i know someone like you with great coding skills can do it. So i am going to put the site here and if you wish to look at it go ahead. If you dont really care to do it i dont mind cause everyone has lives behind coding so here you go. Oh sorry i didnt even post anything about RogueDC v1.2 as i am not sure how to play this game i cant really say to much but i am sure anyone knows how to play it will have fun with it and one day i will learn great work anyways.

Could you possibly center the screen vertically. It would make viewing much easier on the eyes for Rogue and Risc. Thanks.

Smiles, Move the image in which direction?
(up or down, and how many "characters")
is anything getting cut off?
In the current screen modes.
Risc can only be moved about 16pixels max downward
and rogue is probably 1/2 of that. If it has if it
has to move up.. then I'll either have to tweak
the video parametes, or try switching modes.

Eric, I've put cdogs on the todo list.. if it's able
to compile under dos.. then there's a good chance
it can be ported. That way i can re-code all the assembly
into C.. and then try to port it.

The screen definately needs to be moved down a bit. I'm using a VGA box and it is definately displayed to far up. Rather than just move it a few pixel down can you just have the program center the image. Nothing is cut off but the game screen would look best if it was centered. An equal number of pixel above and below the image instead of the image being displayed so far up.

aaahh.. I've centre..centered..centred??? it for TV's I know what you mean.. later 2nite I'll take a alook at putting in code to check
VGA/TV, and center accordingly.. and also fix the mouse bug on risc..

If anyone has any other bugs to report.. do so now or hold your
peace!!!
