Hello,

"The Aching" self-playing demo (Windows) 1 MB" does not run.

I believe there is a problem with the configuration of DOSBox  machine type,  and or,

Tandy graphics.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! It looks like both the batch file and DOSBox config file were improperly set up. Probably reverted to an old version in an update.

I’ve updated the Windows version of the self-playing demo with a fix, and it should be okay now. Let me know if it isn’t, and I’ll take another look! :)

OT:

I see you used dosbox-x for the "Original game jam prototype (DOS/floppy disk files)".

Do you have a preference, of this or DOSbox, and why?

No preference! I think The Lobdegg was simply using DOSBox-X at the time, so that’s what we went with when we re-released their original prototype.

It’ll work in any flavor of DOSBox: stock DOSBox, DOSBox-X, DOSBox Staging… they’re all good. We currently use DOSBox Staging for our releases.

Thanks! :)
