      I replayed Fable 3 after many years away from it and got a bad ending because I forgot that time went by so quickly when doing the stuff in the throne room. I started a new game and had over 9 million dollars in the treasury and got a good ending, but this time I'm stuck on the Witchcraft Mary thing with two hobbes slapping each other and another one standing in front of a machine. I tried things like leaving the cave and deleting Traitor's Keep, but nothing works. Related links:

      @awbacon Please follow the rules  https://forums.atariage.com/guideline   Spamming   Spamming is not permitted. Spamming comes in several flavors, including:   1) Posting commercial messages to the forum, where the product or service being advertised has no relevance to the forum they are being posted in.   2) Repeatedly posting the same message in multiple forums in an attempt to get "wider exposure". We will delete any duplicate threads of this nature, so please don't waste our time by doing this.   3) Using the forum to excessively promote your "agenda". For example, if love or hate a certain game console, that is fine. But if you feel the need to interject your love or hatred into various topics any chance you get, and it is disrupting the forum, we consider this spamming. This is also considered Trolling (see below). ——————- PS: I did find value on one of your videos in the other thread, I just bought a Saroo after watching it, so I am not dissing on your content. But choose one thread, we don’t need stereo for MiSTer news. I think the other thread is more appropriate as here they will not age well (maybe outside the official ones vs the steams of developer ones) but that is your choice.

      Tony - Born for adventure

      By MrFish · Posted

      No problem. I'm not questioning your work on Tony; I was just surprised when it looked liked some PMG's were being used on that one screen; especially since I knew it was supposed to be a pure monochrome production from the beginning (according to the graphics and concept designer).   My post with all the hi-res images was just in answer to your general statement that "PMs are only multicolor width pixels, can't be used much in hires scenario". So, I'm saying they can be used (and sometimes extensively) in hi-res scenarios; but I'm not saying they should or can be used in all hi-res scenarios. Every game needs to be judged on a case by case basis, as to what the goal is and what's actually possible to accomplish within acceptable performance limits.

      By phoenixdownita · Posted

      Not exactly .. I am not sure there’s a SNAC solution for original jag pads on STe, so a few buttons on the “calc pad” won’t be mappable to USB controllers … not sure which games if any uses all of them (USB pads have usually 10 buttons + directions … the jag “calc pad” alone uses 12 & you need A,B, C as well so technically 15)

      Not much of a medical anything around here. It was literally a month+3 days after, before I got even handled at all. If I can't make or miss an appointment, it'll be nearly a month to get another. I got home yesterday, and was out like a light, till almost work time this morning, lol. When it acts up, it'll be like an internal hot spot that I can feel travel down my arm, over back of the elbow, then it crosses over front and down to my two smaller fingers. If playing games or guitar, often, my first efforts will be the best, and just get worse after some time. In this game, my first couple were good, then crap, so I switched hands to turn something decent in. Nothing like going to click the remote, and it's no longer there, and you didn't set it down.

      Vectrex HSC - Jun 2024 - Vector Patrol

      By playvectrex · Posted

      Ok I think I figured out how we should play this game... here's my suggestion for scoring:   It defaults to normal mode which I think is probably a good one to use, but after a while of playing it will potentially save progress and give you an advantage, I'm not really sure though. So in the configuration menu you can reset all scores and progress. When you start out you will have extra credits which will allow you to continue longer, however your score resets if you continue... so there's not much advantage to continuing, and thus those extra credits don't matter much.   What you really want to do is reset the game, start on the Beginner's Level and try to get as far as you can without using Continue.  If you use continue it will reset your score, and then I'm not sure if you will get the high score page with your previous score, so just let the continue run out and enter your initials. If you are quick you can take a picture of your score right there, or reset again and wait until the Demo Level plays out.  The high score tables will then be displayed for pictures.   This was the first game (after maybe 20) that I beat the Beginner's Level and kept going onto the Champion's Level, without a continue.  Then I promptly lost all of my lives in the Champion's Level because I didn't really know what was coming. This game is very much all about practice and remembering what is just around the corner, and getting good at dodging the bombs from flying enemies.   If you beat the Champion's Level, the game will remember this and keep resetting to that level instead of the Beginner's Level.  Perhaps those scores can be ok as well, but I bet you'll have a higher score if you start over at the beginning of the Beginner's Level and make it all of the way through both.   You can see on the high score table 1 (easy), 2 (normal), or 3 (hard) squares next to Course Number, indicating the difficulty level. This is a very well designed game, and before you practice a lot (and even after), it's also mildly infuriating to go for high scores because it requires so much perfection.   53,880

      I like to see direct HDX support without the need to mod the ti card with the new dsr.   If you already done the mod then you don't need you can just type in hdx1 device and it should scan and find it at 1300   I currently use the cf transfer program designed originally for the nanoPEB as that has hdx support in it without the need to mod the rs232 card

      Anybody else think of the dichotomy that is Tommy Tallarico?  For 2-3 Years the guy had such a big mouth that no comment on the internet regarding his so called, and quite fictional "console release" went unchallenged.  He literally, it would seem, had an answer for Everything.   And now that he's been exposed for the lying, stealing, POS that he really is,  He's Eerily COMPLETELY SILENT.     I'm pretty sure he cannot form the words "I'm Sorry" or "Here's your refund".
