@pause doesn't work in 2.31 and neither does it work in 2.20 which I am using now. I think you're using DOS 2.4 specific stuff here... just 'pause' works fine.

Hi I'm trying to install the game, but it's not really working :( I'm following the automatic install. I have an IDE disk with 2 partitions, mapped in drive A and B. My floppy drive is drive C. I want to install Snatcher in B:\GAMES\SNATCHER, so I did this: C: INSTALL C: B: \games\snatcher All I get is a lot of Unrecognized command messages and a File not found message... So, I checked the install.bat and it contains lines like: @echo fudeba @copy fudeba What's going wrong?

That's a GREAT Christmas gift! I'm now quite busy to adapt the Spanish texts into Daniel's script... Spanish people who don't understand a word of English should be able to play, without many problems, the Portuguese version though.

[MSX] Snatcher in English v0.6.0 and Portuguese v0.9.9
MERRY CHRISTMAS! It's finally here! Eleven months after the last public release, this new version brings lots of news. Snatcher is not only fully translated into english (100%!) but also is playable from disks *and* harddisks without external floppy disk emulators (like FDDEmu, START or EP). Besides, now the loader detects the sound chip (SCC / SCC+ / PSG), and its slot, and also will be able to use SCC/SCC+ in expanded slots (unless it's plugged in the same slot as the interface of the drive it's running or in the same slot of the memory the game is using). The CapsLock light indicates when the game is being loaded, for those that doesn't have light on the harddisk. On harddisk the savegame is made directly in the file SNATCHER.SAV, so it's much easier do exchange and make SaveGame backups. The utilitie DSK2SAV is provided to help you extract .SAV file from a disk or image file, and SAV2DSK is provided so you can update your disk with your newest .SAV, if you want to. Note that the savegame from translated games are fully compatible with the original game... But I *don't know* if all versions of Snatcher sold by Konami are equal and places the data in the same position of the disk. SO I think it's wise NOT using these utilities with original disks. The game itself will create a .SAV file if none exists, using the data on the first disk image. Note that the embedded menu in disk 1 is now multilanguage, so it'll match the language of the game. Also, many changes in the extra-messages internals. A new system of hash table was added in the compiler, to avoid store more than one time the same extra message (important for those messages that are repeated in the three disks). Also, now the game can use up to 1MB of external data, but it'll require extra memory. The english version uses almost 30k of extra texts (the english version requires 16kb more memory than portuguese... because english texts was written in a "formal" style, which made them a lot longer to say exactly the same thing). Also, there is a simple BATCH installer that uses T.Tsujikawa's FDSAVE (included in Disk 0) to install the disks into the HardDisk. Portuguese version has now Disk 0 too, but only for extra utilities (installer, dsk2sav, sav2dsk, etc). In portuguese version the Disk 0 is not needed to play, so players of portuguese version may boot directly from Disk 1. I hope you all enjoy the news... It is my christmas gift for you all that waited so long for a new release. The download can be done on the usual place: http://www.caetano.eng.br/snatcher/ Only as a foot note, I would like to thank everyone that helped and those that wanted to help. For those that sent e-mails to me saying that could help and I had not returned... I would like to say I was tired of sending scripts and wait. I had sent scripts for 5 persons that never answered me - and this was one of the reasons for the long wait. It's very hard to translate a game with thousands of messages alone. And the answer for all those questions that arose during the translation work... well, the translated game answers them by itself. My best regards, merry christmas and my best wishes for the new year.
