Hey, sorry to leave you hanging, life is busy, the specific game in this case is Warlords 2 or Warlords 2 Deluxe; I can't remember which because it seems almost everywhere I looked either the rom is screwed up somehow, or it's not how i remember it(perhaps this is because i'm remembering the Macintosh version). even funnier still the copy i found on warlorders.com was even more screwed up(no audio, and controls were altered). ...And i did check out your suggestions(I'm assuming you meant totaldoscollection.org and exodos.the-eye.eu). btw, how do you get access on TDC anyway? and I noticed the Warlords2Deluxe file on exodos was 571.4 MiB! something just seems wrong about that...

not really sure how much time i can spend trying to figure this out right now. Still, I'm definitely interested in retro-computing, and I agree, perhaps the best solution is just to buy some hardware from the right vintage. sadly, budget is a little tight atm, and I'm not sure how i will justify buying an old rig unless i can also use it for development or testing...

...wish DOSBox was smoother, but then, at least you've got me thinking about building an 8-bit system. I did a google search and found this interesting article:
https://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/...h-just-5-chips

...btw, do they make 16-bit AVR?

p.s. one small complaint about the site: clicking the link on the main page doesn't take me directly to http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/index.php, but instead to http://www.abandonia.com/en/forum which loads very slowly for some reason; and once do make it to the vBulletin forum proper, there is no quick link back to the main page.

i just think making the site more navigable would help bring more traffic(if that is your objective).

Directly? No way. Site supposed to be the place for the contributors, not for the games distribution. (Same about eXoDOS, btw, while official site is http://www.retro-exo.com/, there is no games there, only links).

But you must be able to get the torrent everywhere. I can name at least three or four places for that.

Nothing wrong there. Music in Deluxe made with soundtracks, so it's 40Mb of the game itself, and 690Mb of the music. 20 sound tracks, if you need the details.

TDC have "normal" (3Mb) and "Deluxe" (40Mb) versions of WL2, but not CD, BTW.
