Re: DICE 0.6 released *TV Basketball answer edit*

>I try and launch TV Basketball, Rebound & Breakout and the emu (simu?) just closes.

With using 32-bit version, and when selecting TV Basketball to be the new game, it takes a bit longer to wait for the game to load. The new game dialog box stays on the bottom task bar much longer until TV Basketball finally loads to be visible. The remaining games load much faster.

Adam mentioned this to me and with my out-of-date computer, it makes sense:

"I'm wondering how much RAM your computer has? TV Basketball needs more memory than most of the other games, about 200-300 MB, and possibly more during init. Running out of memory could explain why it is taking so long to load..."

For anyone else using an old computer, TV Basketball will take longer to load....so it is not a bug issue.


As for Exidy Attack, to me....there appears to be some minor visible graphic issue with the score numbers when playing Attack. The Attack schematics show that the score numbers appears to not be any data stored on the proms. Ramtek does store character data and numbers (ie: text on screen) on Intersil 5610 proms. And I was guessing Exidy was doing something similar....not the case.

Anti-Aircraft looks to be okay imo.
