MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - SimLife in the IBM 5150 softlist

Hello,

We noticed some games on the IBM 5150 softlist should not appear there.

For example, SimLife (1992), is appearing on both ibm5150 and ibm5170 softlists.

After checking the files :
The "5150" version is simlife Version 1.03 1/19/93
The "5170" version is simlife Version 1.02c 12/9/92 (older than the supposed 5150?)

If we take the information on the original front cover of SimLife, it says:
16 mhz 80386 or better required.

5150 can't have a 80386 (32-bit)...

5150 has a 8088 (8-bit) and 5170 has a 80286 (16-bit).
