Exult for U8 = Pentagram

Post by Playful Dragon »

Just wanted to make a quick note. Someone asked about Exult for U8, but because the thread got talking about Abandonware, it got locked down. Someone there mentioned running on Dosbox (A good option), but I wanted to make sure people knew about Pentagram.

Pentragram is still a work in progress, so you're still going to have to wait for it...

Page for it is at...
http://pentagram.sourceforge.net/

As far as progress, homepage and such, there is another thread here that spells it out pretty well...

Just wanted to tell people...

But of course as you all read the FAQ as is requested before posting here, you know about that already :-)

(thanks to Playful anyway)

I use Bochs for running old games. Knights of Legend plays nicely. Dosbox runs it too slow.

The only problem is Bochs is an actual PC emulator, and requires that you get a real DOS for installing, and other stuff. The results are nice, though.

I was the one that mentioned DOSBox, and refered them to my thread, 'A Shot in the Dark.' I use version 0.61 and it runs more or less perfectly. No memory problems, no graphic problem, (That I have noticed) music rarely skips etc. Just be sure to get the right cycle and frameskip settings. It varies from game to game and computer to computer.

If Pentagram turns out anything like Exult though... USE IT! :)
