Disable 2 player mode when misc.resource is unavailable. #121

Closed 0xABADCAFE closed 9 months ago

0xABADCAFE commented 9 months ago

The game currently uses misc.resource to obtain ownership of the serial hardware for 2 player mode and exits on startup if the resource is not available. Since the resource may not be available on some configurations (e.g. 68K emulation on OS4), this renders the game completely unavailable.

Instead, the availability of the misc.resource should only determine if the two player modes are available and have no impact on single player game.

Since the reported problem case is for the RTG version, a fix for this version is a higher priority than a general solution.

Closing this issue as it's part of the bigger "does not run without native chipset" problem.
