If you quit to DOS and navigate to the C drive and boot the version of Discworld installed there, you can save just fine. Is there an easy way to change the path on the DOS Pack menu?

I'm just shocked I can actually play it now. I cannot play Atomic Edition. That still crashes and seems to not run well. However, the OG release of the first three episodes, runs rather well. I haven't played much of it, but it actually runs.

I'm having the exact same issue. This is with the Ultimate Talkie Edition with MT32 enabled and using a MT32-pi. Also in Prince of Persia right at the end of level 1 the game hangs.

Why would it have been skipped over in the first place? Why doesn't the updater try to fetch missing games?

How can I enable text in ultimate talkie edition of Secret of Monkey Island? I want to play with both text and voice acting.

Do you have an MT32 Hat?

Control & T changes the text and speech options.

I'm having trouble with starting CD games.
When starting the dig for example I get an error saying:

"No files found -> D:/*.*
Add "/cd/dig/thedig.cue" TO /GAMES/AO486/CD/"

If I quit TDL to DOS and try D: and then dir, I get a general failure reading drive F(yeah it says F even though I'm on D:)
After quitting TDL it also says "secondary VHD not mounted!". I guess it is expecting it to be mouted to D: but seems it's mounted to E: for some reason.

HAs anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it?

Mr. Encyclopedia wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 11:04 pm I'm also having this problem, Every CD-based game I attempt to play fails with with the same error nizce reported. Furthermore, I can say that going into the OSD, mounting the CD image again (literally just selecting IDE 1-0, navigating to the same image, and selecting it again) causes the error to clear and lets me play the game normally after a moment.

It seems like it might be a problem with imgset, it isn't mounting the image properly despite the image being listed in the OSD as mounted prior to me mounting it again myself. I'm curious to know if mounting the correct image via the OSD fixes it for nizce like it does for me.

Mr. Encyclopedia wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 11:56 pm Hmmm, is it possible that the recent switch from /media/fat to /media/sdcard might be causing an issue? All my CDs are in /media/sdcard/games/AO486/cd. It seems like I have the case lined up, but from what I remember the last time I troubleshot this the full path isn't in LAUNCH.BAT, so it's possible that imgset isn't looking in the right place. The only confusing part is the correct CD image does show up mounted in the OSD, but it doesn't work until I re-mount it myself.

I also had difficulty getting the updater script to work, I ended up having to download the script to my scripts folder and run it myself rather than run the one that automatically pulls the script from github, because that one would fail to find the VHDs despite them being exactly where they're supposed to be. I poked around the code in the script but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't looking in the right place. Maybe I should put on my programmer hat and add some lines to make it tell me exactly where it's looking. The curious thing is when I ran the actual updater script after downloading it manually it seemed to work just fine. Now I'm really starting to wonder if these two problems are related.

Just a suggestion for the future. Thanks!
