    • Baslisk and the Internet...


      If you are using an emulator such as basilisk can you do multiplayer stuff? My friend just installed a 10 MB per sec LAN and that would be some sweeeet Ares multiplayer if it would work. If someone could tell me, that would be great. Thanks!

    • Hmmm... Well I'll drag this one back to the top of the board again - I still don't know the answer. I wonder if anyone knows.....

    • Considering most of our board members use Macs, the question has probably never arisen for them, so I rather doubt you'll find help here.

      And as for the emulator question- I am afraid I have no idea. Ambrosia does not cover emulator-related stuff for its products, and with good reason. It's confusing and earns them nothing.

    • Yes, well...

      Do you think I might try asking Warbeast? I wonder if he might know. It might be beneficial to Ambrosia to make an Emulator FAQ - organized by a few members who use them. If a PC user downloaded PoG, say, and it piqued their interest in other Ambrosia products, Ambrosia might make a few more bucks by having some links and some answers. Maybe someone should suggest it to Moki. Well, it doesn't really affect me, I have a Mac - it's mainly my friends I wanted to know for. Well, I guess I'll scout around the net a bit. If you know the answer though, don't hesitate to post!

    • I'm pretty sure the answer to your questions is 'no'

      Well, it was just a wish.

      Hey, thanks Patrick, I'll give that a try.

    • I think there is a PoG for Windows.

      Oh yeah, there is. Coldstone packages its games in three forms: Pre-OS X Mac, OS X Mac, and Windows - Maybe 98 above (not sure on that one). But there is definitely a windows version.

      Oh, and thanks Patrick - a person on their boards is saying that Basilisk II has networking capabilities. Now I have to figure where to get the ROM file, how to set the emulator up, and how to get it to network. Hopefully the board members there can help.

    • I remember seeing a guide somewhere to get Internet working on Basilisk (my brother actually got Appletalk working)...though my connection at home is far too slow to support a multiplayer game; maybe when I go to college I'll try that out (hopefully somebody's still playing Ares then)...

    • Ask on B&B; lot's of people use basilisk or executor for EV. True, that's not networked, but with a bunch of them there someone will probably know how to do it.
