[Audyssey] Good news about TDLGames!
Hey, earlier after I gave out the web address to download the different TDL games, different ones said that the links to download the games wouldn't work. Well check this out! The links work, and there is a update patch for SpaceColonyCleaner and MazeGame aswell. However It would be great if someone had a registration key for the game or a patch or crack. -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: [Audyssey] Good news for all gamers!
yeah one of those would be cool, we did have torrent by surreal horisons but since it was never released and even if someone gave you the now dead beta it would have to be cracked to get activated and since the owner of sr just up and left there is no chance we will ever see the game. A pitty since the game uses the dolphin sam engine for synth support, and as far as I know no one uses that system at all. Since it uses sam support, I could run braille and all my synths including those locked probably to my supernova quite happily. On the subject of fs though, I actually invested in this, got an old coppy of fs2002, but ms speech rec if you load some other things for sapi or even if you don't likes to corrupt itself and not load which is fine. However even when I got it to work I found the training extremely dificult its a pitty we can't find, and get brailled all the material ms uses to train with. Iyp looked quite good as well as the radar thing. Though truthfully, I really don't know if I could dig a pasenger game really, its not my deal. Sure have some exploring round but a little action would be nice. The only other game not released ever was starbase defender, as its dev ran out of time and seems to now have dissapeared from the net along with his site. The only good thing if it can even be a good thing at all is that for ages before he went offline he had the game entire soundtrack up, thats also gone now but I have it and maybe others do. Its really a pitty it died as aparently there was 2 weeks left ot get it all going. THe other flight game that died was by nasoft, flight commander and was something almost like tdv. It was in the future though. There was a trailer but again it never eventuated, nasoft is also gone. There was final defender by what is now draconis, its not appeared again but that doesn't mean it may come back since adora is now draconis, so technically it may still happen though doubtfull. The only remotely space games we have are battleship by jim kitchen, trek2000 by gma and final conflict startrek by usagames. THe kitchensinc game is just battle ship. The gma one is quite old and crappy and freeware. And the usa one though still existant although it has replay value is still well not as good as it could be with today's tech though better than trek2k its still crappy and its being redone in any case. I guess you could call monkey business, shades of doom and alien outback and maybe a few others space games but only because they have either shields or lasers in them same with the troop series by blindsoftware but they are not realy space ship sims. What we need is something that has exploration battle, action and other randomness. Battle we have loads of but not much more than that. I recently listened to a radio station where rage by idsoftware was being demoed. You basically did things to advance yourself and get extra things, cash, etc. The major thing I liked about rage though was the crafting element, except for the game return to chaos by chaos productions I think, we really don't have any games with a major crafting element.

Hi, Well, it depends on the game actually. I have some Dos programs I compiled for a 32-bit target environment and those run fine on Windows 7 64-bit. Its the older Dos programs that were compiled for a 16-bit op that have issues. I have not located a Dos emulator that works with a screen reader so old 16-bit Dos games require an older box if you want to play them.

Everyone, Assuming that these games aren't huge in size, I'd be happy to host them on the main AA server. If someone can send me the games and an overview of their history, I'll write up a short page and put them up in a special directory for general download.

Re: [Audyssey] Good news!
Hi Thomas, Yes, I have had plenty of thoughts about the .net framework, both from an end user's perspective and a developer's. As an end user I found the applications to be much slower in comparison, and much more costly in disk space. While disk space is no longer a problem for me, I would rather use a smaller alternative such as a C/C++ or VB based application that doesn't require many system changes or modifications to be made. I cannot claim absolute certainty on the next point, but it is very coincidental that after installing the .net framework I had many system crashes, I.E. crashes forcing Windows to reboot itself. After uninstalling it, there were no such problems. My theory is that something is causing a memory leak, or maybe even a conflict with other software or drivers installed. I also found the user interfaces not very accessible, I.E. screenreaders not reading out controls as they should. Again, I have constructed a theory, it may not be correct, but I like guessing at things. I suspect that the control classes have changed internally, or maybe there are new controls being used that the screenreaders cannot recognise. Having never managed to start developing in .net I have never really had an opportunity to experiment with user interface designs. As a developer, my main problems were, again, the size of the program (5 CDROMs for Visual Studio 2003), and most importantly, accessibility. I constantly got messages to use a certain set of scripts which I couldn't get hold of, and without them the user interface, again, was just a cluttered mess. Also recently I was told about the development security risks, and I would rather not go through the whole polava of having to use code obfuscators to try and hide my treasure. And then of course you've got issues on some systems, you get problems more than on others. System crashes aside I have never had problems playing Tomb Hunter, while others mention startup errors, abrupt exits while checking status, etc. I had no problems trying out Ryan's Monopoly game, whereas my partner's computer complained about a missing component despite the fact that all required components were on her system. Personally I see the .net framework as more trouble than it is worth. I did once look into other available languages, such as Python, Ruby, Pascal and Delphi, but none of them were as understandable or usable as VB.

When Windows XP came out DirectX 8 was considered to be the latest and greatist multimedia API for the platform. Now the XNA libraries for DirectX such as XAudio2, XInput, X3DAudio, etc have all but replaced their DirectX counterparts on Windows 7. The older libraries such as DirectPlay, DirectSound, DirectInput, etc are provided only for backwards compatibility with XP, but future development on those libs were completely frozen in 2007. Visual Basic 6, which was current in 2001, was officially dropped in 2008. Now, Windows 7 doesn't even provide legacy libraries for backwards XP support for VB, and that requires you to manually install any and all legacy libraries you need for VB 6 programs. It isn't a big deal, but the bottom line is Visual Basic 6 is ancient history. Know one knows how long these legacy applications and libraries will be unofficially supported beyond Windows 7. So again it makes sense to be looking at your alternatives closely. Maybe C++ didn't work out, but there are plenty of choices out there which might be of use to you.

Re: [Audyssey] good news: shades of doom
Hi, Agreed. I often run my desktop with the monitor off for exactly the same reasons you pointed out. If I am the only one using the computer with speech there is no need to have the screen on waisting power, risk ruining the monitor from over use, etc. If anyone like Nicol is asked why his/her monitor is off maybe they should approach it from this angle. As far as someone getting suspicious over a monitor being turned off that's just ridiculous, over bearing, and also disturbing. Anyone who does that is neither your friend or family. What they are is your jailer. No offense. dark wrote: Even though i actually can see and do use a screen on occasion for things like watching films, when i'm merely doing something with speech or audio i always turn my screen off anyway. It saves power and stops my monitor from burning out, -- especially true if i've had my desktop on for an extremely long time listening to audio. Imho there's no point having a monitor on if nobody is using it, especially for a long time. It severely disturbs me that what you privately do in your own home by your own choice is so strictly sensored in this way, especially if you yourself aren't a jahova's witness. Beware the Grue!

Whilst I agree with what you're saying you're asking the guy to effectively go against his family. Whilst I agree with you for various reasons he may not be able to do it. Yes he is an adult and he should be taking charge of his life. I agree with that totally. It's a question of that against the costs if he does. I'm a strong willed person. If I have to upset someone then yes I'll do it no questions asked and I don't make any exceptions to that rule. Whether it be friend family blood relation or no. if it has to be done then so be it. My life is mine. I am my own master nobody else. I have no qualms with taking action like that if it is so required. But not everybody has the strength of will and character to do that. Which is frustrating but true never the less. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Josh Sent: 20 September 2009 19:59 To: gamers list Subject: [Audyssey] good news shades of doom thread Hi, I know he's in South Africa.

Re: [Audyssey] good news: shades of doom
Hi Jason, I am changing the name on the screen of the Sarah game. But during the time when you hear the company logo and the title music the title has to stay what it was, Sarah and the castle of witchcraft and wizardry. This is due to how the GMA game engine creates a registration key. If I was to change it to Sarah during that first few seconds, then I would have to send out all new registration keys to everyone who has purchased the game. But you can minimize the time that full game title is on the screen by hitting the control key. This change will happen in the update of the game I am working on and have almost completed.

Re: [Audyssey] good news: shades of doom
Hi Nicol, There are several good reasons to turn your screen off. 1. You save energy and electricity. 2. You keep the room cooler in the summer as many old CRT monitors generate a lot of heat. 3. You extend the life of the monitor. 4. You get the same amount of privacy as sighted people do when they turn down their sound or don't have a speech program running. If they force you to have your monitor on, then you should force them to use a screen reader so you know what they are doing on their computers.

I told this friend about the audio games I am playing, I described pipe2 to him in detail. and he told me about his games. He told me that he is currently playing mainstream games made for the pc.

So I asked him whether his dad is ok with the game he is playing as he stays with his family and they are also Jehovah witnesses, he told me yes. So today I spoke to my mom about this friend's game, telling her his dad does not have a problem with him playhing it. and she told me that each person must decide according to his conscience.

Because I share my flat with a couple, my mom's friends, and they care for me such as doing the cooking. So if they have any questions, I will just explain to them how I have explained to my mom and that its ok with her for me to play sod.

Hi Nicol, I know exactly what it feels like to have an overbearing mother/ family. That control issue gets even worse when there is a handicap involved.

Re: [Audyssey] good news: shades of doom
Hello there, I came into this thread a bit late...so I had to go back and read alot of old messages to get the feel for what is going on here. My experience to some of what is being discussed goes like this: I used to live with a girlfriend in my house. I also played shades of doom. she is a born again christian as am I. she was a bit miffed I was playing this shooting game. here is how I settled the matter. As I am totally blind..I turned my monitor off. even if she walks by my open door, she will not know what I am doing. as many of these games are very specific about what direction a sound comes at you from, I got a very nice pair of headphones to wear when I play any game. so once again, even when she is standing in my room talking to me..she has no idea what I am doing unless I have the volume on the head phones turned way up high. I consider this leveling the playfield. when she is on her computer I have no idea what she is doing as she turns her speakers off. I can't see or hear what she is doing and she can't see or hear what I am doing. No problem here...grin. religion and computer games can co-exist.

Re: [Audyssey] good news: shades of doom
That is good news. I actually had a girlfriend who, thought not of the same religious persuasion, used to have those beliefs or very similar ones. Of course she does seem to have calmed down in that area lately. But she would have done the same things when we were together had I given her the opportunity.

I told this friend about the audio games I am playing, I described pipe2 to him in detail. and he told me about his games. He told me that he is currently playing mainstream games made for the pc. He once had the x box but it was too expensive. Each game on the x box costs 500 south african rand. But this friend told me about ashooting game that he bought himself for his pc, called unreal tournament where there is a lot of shooting involved. The game consist of different missions/tasks but the main objective is fighting. So I asked him whether his dad is ok with the game he is playing as he stays with his family and they are also Jehovah witnesses, he told me yes. So today I spoke to my mom about this friend's game, telling her his dad does not have a problem with him playhing it. and she told me that each person must decide according to his conscience. So I described shades of doom to my mom in the language of the man on the street. I told my mom that in shades of doom I do not kill people, I kill monsters similar to prehistoric monsters such as dinosaurs. I told her about the experiment that went wrong and that my mission is to collect wafers to shut down the experiment and to collect the wafers I have to kill creatures. She asked if there is blood in the sod game and I answered no. So eventually she agreed that its not harmfull to me. I will try to translate her words into English.

Even though you know the one you want is in the top left corner, you just can't seem to find it and instead find yourself adjusting your daughter's mii... (which is the way she programmed her character to look in the games.) Incidentally, I gave hers quite the hairdo. With the screen in such a state, you might spend an hour starting the game you want and have time for a match of tennis before dinner time--if you're lucky. Well, fear not Wii fans, because I have found a solution. You'll need sighted assistance for this but... In addition to the page containing the start game icon, there are three or more pages with additional channels. There are two ways to get to those pages--the plus and minus keys on the Wiimote, or the arrows on the screen. What we are going to do is to drag each channel, (accept for the one we want--the start game icon,) to another page. Have your friend hold a and b together while pointing at a channel, then move to the right arro and let go--and they have successfully moved the channel. You'll know it because you'll hear a chirp from the Wii and your friend saying, "cool." Have them do this for the next five channels, and you're done. You now have a startup screen with only one button--well, plus the arrows, but they won't do anything accept change pages and you just hit the minus button to get back to the first page--no harm done.

Yes, right, but if that is not the disc you want, you can eject the disc and put in another want and wii will read and play the music. So it still works. Don't have to click the back icon and re-enter. The plus key is often used to enter the options menu when you are in the game. As for games not using the DPad to nevigate through the menus, you can try using the nunchuck. Some works and some don't. If you are into sports games, give mario and sonic at the olympic games a shot.

Wow--thanks for the info--I'll remember that. As far as many games not using the DPad, does it work for that as well? - Original Message - From: "Steady Goh" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 12:30 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Good news: how to make the WII a whole lotmoreaccessible Hi ken, I think you made it sound so much more unfriendly to start game than it really is. You don't have to be so exact to click on the top left button. Just click on any one then use the plus or minus key on the wii controller to move you there. It is a cycle, so you will eventually land on the read disk icon. ??/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Ken To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 4:09 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Good news: how to make the WII a whole lot moreaccessible If any of you have played the Wii, you know that it's just about impossible to start, since on the startup screen there are seven buttons to push--four on top and three on the bottom, which makes for a confusing and frustrating day at the Wii console.
