Hi,
NOTE: this post is sort of way too nerdy for this list, but I thought I’d send
it anyway, for the wanna-be coder’s general delight.
Now that BGT is FREE I thought I’d try and see if I could write a wrapper for
my screen reader abstraction library so that my screen reader of choice
Well Dallas, racing isn't exactly my preferd genre of games anyway, so an
arcade style game wouldn't bother me. As you said if it is free I miht as

Likewise, I actually think you could probably finish smugglers 3, ie, get

in that time as well.
Hi Dark,
When I am on Windows I use Windows Media Player all the time for

Hi Dark,
In NVDA the virtual cursor is simply called the review cursor. It also
has commands to move the mouse cursor which is what you need here. To

Hi Tom.
Thanks for that. I was certain there was a way for Nvda to handle this sort
of thing, but sinse I haven't used Nvda myself I didn't know what the
correct command was.
I'm also pleased there is a way around this sinse it means that the

Right, figured out the AutoIt part: it's possible and seems to work well.
Right now, where games are concerned, I'm only missing BGT.

Hi Davy,
The foundation of BGT is Ansi, which is a sort of historical accident
from back when I first started the project. I did not envision it ever
needing Unicode because it was primarily meant to use audio and any
printed text would be mostly for debugging. There was no Sapi support
Hi Philip,
Thanks, all of that makes sense. The main reason why I am firmly sticking to
Unicode is because different screen readers support different formats, but they
all appear to support Unicode. I also feel that in this day and age, providing

P.S:
I've never used the object myself, so take the above with a grain of salt.

Well, in NVDA the commands to move between parent and child windows
aren't to obvious as they aren't used that often, and looking them up

Hi Dark,
I'll see what I can do about putting a NVDA article together as I'm
not a bit surprised why people are having problems with Smugglers. The
NVDA commands required to navigate around in Smugglers is fairly
complex, and its not very intuitive or user friendly. Let me give you
an example.
Backing up the info on a thumb drive is what I should have done, but now,

If you have sighted help available, you can probably get your data off via the command line safe mode option. If you can boot to this, you can use a program such as 7-zip to get the files off manually, or just run an application via the command line
(such as backup) and then play with the files
Hey dark! Yes, I second Lori's sentiment. It'd be awesome if you did a

Hi Charles,
Ouch! Not sure what advice I should give in that case as anything I

have. For example, if you can setup that hard drive as a slave drive
in a different PC you could recover the data from it at your leisure.

Right, I successfully copy-pasted together a basic wrapper written for BGT. I
want to keep things as one-on-one as possible, so I didn't introduce private
helper methods to get slightly more compact code. Boolean type variables are a
little tricky, I ended up internally using uint8 for those.
The only other PC I have is a laptop. If I had a case and power supply, I
might be able to set the drive from the nonworking PC up as an external
drive, but I don't. RATS!!! I might give the other option a try, and would
not be angry if they do not retrieve and send me the info, because, as
If you're willing to play with the physical drive, you have a couple options. First off, there are devices you can buy for less than $20 U.S, which will allow you to plug either and IDE (older) or SATA (newer) drive in via usb. These can be somewhat
fiddly, but they really do work extremely well
Hi Charles,
Well, one option I see here is finding a USB hard drive enclosure that
allows you to put your old hard drive in it, and access it via your
laptop. I am not sure on current pricing, but they are very helpful in
recovering data from hard drives that will no longer boot. Assuming,

I can say that an enclosure is substantially (3-5x?) more expensive than a simple converter. They're handy if you want to have the drive function as an external, but they're really bad if you plan to swap disks out often or if you just want to use
the drive for a short period of time.

When this is fixed I'd also recommend buying a good quality backup drive and

Hi Dark,
Not only that, but I think you should do a podcast on S5 because there
is a demo available for it where there isn't one for Invasion yet. I
haven't got Invasion yet, but I think S5 is really the best of s1
through S5 so far, and is best for an introduction into the series.
