For fans of old chess computers

[Daniel Anulliero]

Thanks for your great work Franz, I'm a fan !
The Chess Traveller works just fine

I have a question :
Is it possible to emulate the first mephisto machines ? ( versions 1, X, 2, 3)
These are the légendary "brikets" programmed by Thomas Nitsche in the beginnings of 80's
And also ...
The Sargon 2.5 by Spracklen's

All the best

Well, since there are no ROMs and no drivers available for these machines, there's nothing I can do, sorry.

Me too!
I'll Keep just the mephisto "briket" and the boris "wooden"
I will sell all others

I will sell all others

Not a good idea - maybe anytime in the future you'll blame me and my CB-Emu that you're missing your real collection.

Anyway, here's a new CB-Emu version.

1) I've added 3 new (rather exotic) German chesscomputers (Schachcomputer SC1, SC2 and SLC-1), and
2) my additional chessboards for all non-sensory chess modules now have an additional 'Turn Board' button,
which can be used to turn the board view at any time during the game.

Since I had to change many files for this new feature, I've made a full package again instead of an update - here's the link:

Now I've included ALL available chess modules from MESS which I could get working,
so this is probably the last and final CB-Emu release.

Regards,
Franz

Franz,

Many thanks for the update! I forgot how to change the settings from Direct3D to OpenGL though. I did the update in the GUI (under Options -> Default System Options) but there were some files that had to be removed also and I cannot remember which ones those were. Can you remind me of which files I need to delete in addition to changing the default videomode to OpenGL? My system cannot handle Direct3D so I need to make this change to enable things to run at all.


Thanks!

Hi Roy!

Well, for changing the video mode you would have to delete all ini-files (in the ini-folder), so that they would be recreated after you have changed the setting in MESS.

But that's not necessary at all - just for this purpose I've included 2 ZIP-files (ini-OpenGL.zip and ini-GDI.zip), which you just need to unzip (with its subfolders!) into the CB-Emu folder - this overwrites all necessary files for either OpenGL or GDI video setting.

Franz
