I have a problem with the Lethal Weapon DOS game. Each version of the game, including the original one I own, does not go further from the intro screen. The intro just repeats itself and it doesn't respond to any keypresses from the keyboard. What is the problem with the game? Is it just badly coded …

If I remember correclty, this is what I probably did to my HP Vectra case: 1. Removed that white connector with pliers. 2. Separated the wires a bit on the flat cable. 3. Soldered new wires with connectors to the original wires on the flat cable. If I have time, I can take some photos from the …

Thank you, I will test the floppy images. It is always good to make disk images, because they can also easily be mounted to virtual machines, if needed.

When making copies of driver disks (or any other software), please always try to make disk images of them instead of copying the files separately from the disks. Sometimes the installations programs don't work correctly if the files are copied separately and the installation program is asking for a …

I have the original logitech floppy disks for Mouseware 7.5 if you still need (3 years later....) Yes, if you could make disk images of the floppy disks, it would be nice. I usually use WinImage myself when I make disk images of floppy disks, so I recommend that. Please remember to write protect …

There is a vertical shooting game for DOS which is similar to e.g. Raiden, Raptor and Tyrian games. I think it is currently released freeware if I remember correctly but I have lost the name of the game. It was probably made by some Japanese company in the 1990s and it was available for download as …

Is it possible to get any account to upload files directly to vogonsdrivers.com? The links I have made, will expire in two weeks and then I will have to re-upload files.

Do anyone here have original box of AdLib sound card or any other material with a good quality logo + text printed? I would need a high DPI scan (600-1200 dpi) of it if anyone could make a scan of it. TIFF format would be good. Similar to this one including the (R). http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/images …
