I will edit this list as a I run through more, but the following games start in SB mode no matter what you set in the config. Many of them will skip the choices menu and jump right to SB as well.

Dune
Wing Commander(s)
Where in the World is Carmen San Diego
SimCity 2000
Star Wars X Wing/TIE
Prince of Persia

can you check a few things for me please?

are you on the latest version of the pack (updated via updater) ?
is jchoice.exe in e:\utils ?

mbaran5 commented 3 years ago

Yes latest version

No, jchoice.exe is not in utils. This would explain why some games seem to fly right past the choices screen, but odd that others still allow for the choice...

FreddoUK commented 3 years ago

hm, currently the updater script doesn't update itself, you didn't use an older version of the script did you? if so retrying with the latest might fix this.

I nabbed the script only about 5 days ago, but ran it again and it seems to have worked. I am not sure if the script terminated prematurely last time but I now see the updated files inside the VHD. Let me retry a few of the games above and see. Thanks, no idea what happened there.

Games tested all seem fine now when selecting MT-32 from choice menu.
