Microleague Baseball

[Showaddywaddy]

Morning,

 

Noticed a couple of users asking for Microleague Baseball to be fixed for hard-drive and all TOS.

 

Well had a quick look yesterday and fixed our crack from 1987. Tested briefly on my MegaSTE and Falcon, appears to work fine (let me know if there's still a protection check left in from WNW's crack)

 

For techies, Hot-Knife's original crack placed his loader at $11000, a strict no-no nowadays- although back in the day who knew we'd still be doing this stuff 30+ years later.

@Showaddywaddy - I will try this when I am back from vacation near the end of September. The WNW crack was decent but it has to be run with TOS 1.62 or older and I cannot have a hard disk driver running. 
 

If this version fixed those limitations, that would be great.

@Showaddywaddy - I am back from vacation. The hard drive version you made appears to work quite well. One nice change would be to stop the game immediately if I am not in low res. Right now, it tells me I need to be in low res but I have no way to exit the program. 
 

I hit a key and I see an alert box that says I need to be in low res. Then, the computer reboots. 
 

If the adaptation exited to the desktop or changed the resolution to low res if I am in the wrong resolution, that would be great. 
 

However, your version works great with TOS 2.06 and the PP hard disk drive that I use.

glad it works ok

 

yes the dialog box and reset is in the actual game. I can modify the launcher to detect the resolution. I’ll post when I’ve updated the exe

Soz taken a while.

 

But the game can now be launched from medium resolution.

 

Just watch your mouse movements :)

I tried Micro League Baseball 2 today. It ran fine from medium res. I have learned not to use the mouse at all in MLB2 in later TOS versions. I wish the developers had not bothered to add mouse support to it. It just looked like something they added because they thought an ST version should have mouse support.
