PC Task 4
« on: April 15, 2011, 10:35:15 AM »
Just been going through some software on my Amiga and deciding what to keep and what to delete.

Came to PC Task 4 and thought I would give it one last try and to my surprise I got police quest 4 to start at a playable speed.

So I thought I would play around some more but couldn't work out a couple of things.
The main one being is it possible to emulate a sound card on an A1200 or do I need to use the PC internal speaker option.

I tried to download the guide on Aminet but it appears to be a dead link.

LaserBack - Was the full version of PCx released as freeware and if so where can I download it?
I can only find a demo and it seems to have too many limitations.
How does it compare to PC-Task and can I use the same hardfiles?


Thomas - You were right. I tried again and it downloaded fine

Dosbox wouldn't work for me as it uses the sdl.library
The adventure games that I was trying to play don't appear to work on the 68k version of scummVM

PC-Task 4 is free now but still has no soundblaster emulation. Just the annoying beeps

Just a A1200 with 060

I think Police Quest 4 needs protected mode so  it will have to be PC-Task.
I guess I have 2 options either play it on a PC or play it with annoying beeps and no speach.

Unless I can work out how to get shapeshifter to run properly. I got into the OS but can't do much else
