Check the M section, it's sometimes referred to as "Maniac Mansion II: Day of the Tentacle"

Re: Depricated.

Guys, I’ve re-downloaded Flynn’s top 300 pack from archieve.org as I seemed to be missing a few games (Day Of The Tentacle being one) when I first set it up months ago. Can someone remind me how I go about making it into a VHD file? Cheers

Re: ZX Spectrum Next after latest update.

I totally forgot that the set up on my secondary SD card is just a copy of my real ZX Spectrum Next set up and isn’t a boot.vhd set up. So now when you run update all, it obviously places a boot.vhd file in the Spectrum Next games folder on the main SD card. This prevents the secondary SD card from loading the Speccy Next core from there. If I dele...

ZX Spectrum Next after latest update.

I’m running the Next core on my second SD card. Just ran update all and noticed this in the latest change log:

ZXNext, TSConf: persistent image mounting (remembered across boots). Please rename boot.vhd(boot0.vhd, boot1.vhd) to other name if you want this feature working.

So I take it that I have to rename to boot.vhd?

Yeah not every TV that has a scart socket can actually produce a 60hz signal.

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600

I think that I’ve already asked this but I’ll try again.

Is there a way for Commando on the Atari 7800 to play the in game music? There was a pokey chip included inside the original cartridge release that allowed in game music. Same goes for Ballblazer.

Re: CRT vs. LCD "Disadvantage of CRT with Cores"

Just remember that you can hook up more that one CRT to a MiSTer if you use a VGA switch box or split VGA to RGB Scart cable and still have a modern screen hooked up via HDMI.

Re: Issue Running PAL or EU Roms

On each of those cores, what have you got the video region set to? Got to ask though, although I’m from the UK (PAL land) for the consoles id stick to 60hz, the majority of games were designed to be played at that speed. Also you won’t have those nasty borders that we put up with for all of those years. It’s only the home micro’s I play at 50hz rea...
