Hi,
Today I updated the Snatcher page. It has now english and portuguese
versions. (click on the button to change the language).
http://www.caetano.eng.br/snatcher/
The news is that the rework on the scripts to make the other translations
easier is almost done. The automatic break-line feature of the script importer
is almost bullet-proof also...
But the main news is: the next version will run un disk or harddisk without
any change. Only a loader (less than 1Kb) is needed to launch the game. The
hard disk version will be presented in the following way:
- SNATCHER.COM - the loader
- SNATCHER.001 to SNATCHER.003 - RAW disk images from the "disk version"
Note that Snatcher.Com *will not* work with older disk images.
When running on disk, the requirements still the same (MSX2, 128Kb RAM, 128Kb VRAM).
This new disk version will boot without problems on BDOS1 and BDOS2.
When running on harddisk, the requirements are bigger. The game requires BDOS2 to
run on harddisk... And since it'll run with DOS Kernel loaded (which uses 32Kb) you
will need 128Kb + 32Kb + 16Kb = 176Kb. Yes, this is a lot of memory... I know only
people with 256Kb will be able to run it... But I'm not a magician. (^= Things spent
space. (BTW, the "16Kb" is the "Direct Access Disk Emulator"... It's a layer that
access the files transparently to the game).
Regards....
