Hi Guys,

First post & all, but I've checked each .exe using XVI32 and changed all the ones that have the ShowCursor in them, and tey all work fine. Also on the ones that are marked XP I find that if you run them as administrator (through the propoties) then most work well.

I have mine setup to run through the SimpleTouch FE so I only have this program set to run as admin and I believe that anything launched from within also is run as admin, anyhow it does seem to run most of the xp ones I've tried.

On a side note how can you show cursors any any of the other .exe without the ShowCursor find? I assume some sort of decompiling maybe necessary & then checking & altering the jump tables? Any help of this would be great.

Top forum & loads of advice always given here. Well done all.

Regards

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd drop my first post in here (won't be my last tho).

I'm a support technicial / programmer and have been into "Bandits" since the late 70's. During the 80's my interests ranged from the arcade video classics - Donkey Kong, Asteroids, Star Wars. But also loved the thrill of the wins... Loved Line up, Exchanges Unlimited, Adders & Ladders etc.. Still miss many of these now adays as I thought the gameplay more enjoyable.

Have been on the scene for many years but due to Work issues don't find time to play & create as I'd wish to do... Was active on the web hovel for a long time but just lost contact with emu...

It's great to see the changes in the quality of workmanship that's gone into many of the modern day layouts as when I left the scene the DX's were just starting (Most layouts were stillin the "Classic" stage) & I had all items I needed to prepare a DX myself but then real life intervened....

Looking forward to talking more with you guys though & I Do own a Maygay Apollo 9 machine of my own, although this needs a little attention at the moment, but has great sounds and not too bad gameplay.

Cheers

Carl
