3/7/2023 0 Comments Personal nightmare dos![]() ![]() Im still yet to understand why HorrorSoft packaged the PC game with a data file decompressor, especially when the uncompressed files dont work with the interpreter. I got bored today and noticed that Kirben had just committed a patch for the uncompressed PC files. I ditched this idea and sat with my fingers crossed for an official patch from the guys at AdventureSoft. This gave me some hope, but was not an ideal solution, because the PC game differs quite a bit graphically from the Amiga and ST versions, Kirben informed me that the palettes were not calculated in the same way too. To my delight this was quite successful, DosBox started the Vicarage section!Īnd in ScummVM things were looking even better :) I was using DosBox with the debugger enabled, this allows you to see which files are opened from the hdd, The game was choking on '72.out'!!Īfter another brief search for a patch I decided to replace the PC 72.out file with a renamed 72.IN file from the ST version again. Sadly this didnt work, and I was soon to find out why! this time I started by loading up the PC version but replacing the 71.out file with a renamed 71.in file from the Atari ST version. I decided that it would be a good idea to look at the files again. I briefly spoke with Kirben again who informed me that the reason for the lack of similarity in the files was due to the compression and graphical differences between the games(PC is EGA, others are VGA) while it was clear there was a large similarity this was a fruitless task, they just were not similar enough. Later I found out that he had a real forum account(Potent1), but still didnt recieve a response.Īs a side project I spent a while looking at the files, trying to compare the atari and amiga 71.INįiles with the PC 71.out file. unfortunately it turned out he was using a BugMeNot login. Solve puzzles, play curious mini-games, and collect peculiar items in an eerie quest for answers.I apologise if this post is of no interest to you, but It pleased me and I thought I should tell you all about it :pĪ while ago I was made aware the Personal Nightmare (DOS) was shipped out with a corrupted '71.out' file, sadly this corrupted file made the game difficult to complete under DOS, and impossible under ScummVM at least without the development of an ugly hack to work around the Vicarage section.Īfter a couple of hours of searching it became clear that the patch Horrorsoft was rumoured to have developed didnt exist in any form on the internet.Īfter speaking with Kirben I learned that he was in contact with the developers of the game and was awaiting responses from Alan Bridgman to see whether he had an uncorrupted version of the game.Ĭontact was also attempted with LurkerScum from the ScummVM forums who seemed to know a little bit about the patch that was released for the game.
