Re: First solo win

Thank you everyone :)

I've already imported him into CSB, and have killed the first dragon in ku.

Maybe I'll try Leyla next.

First solo win

Just got my first solo win in DM, using reincarnated Halk :) https://i.imgur.com/eHRpl05.png https://i.imgur.com/h0p1JFi.png Would be cool to have won with every character, but that might be a bit too ambitious because it would require 23 more runs. I might get fed up with DM if I try that, especial...

Re: Question about CSB Amiga versions

No worries Christophe. I'm grateful that you tried to help :)

Did you check in WinUAE to see if you got the same results as me by the way?

Re: Question about CSB Amiga versions

I don't think it has to do with save states, because on my initial ~1 hour test run I later loaded from a save state and continued playing a bit more on that test run. Also I can reproduce the issue reliably without using save states, booting from scratch and loading from the saved game from disk wh...

Re: Question about CSB Amiga versions

After some more testing, I think it's safe to say that the raw image does not work (at least not in FS-UAE). I've tried 800%, 400%, 200% and 100%, and I can reliably trigger the copy protection each time. I even tried changing the kickstart version from 3.1 to 3.0 (since I though I might have used 3...

Re: Question about CSB Amiga versions

By the way, I also found out earlier that I had to add the option writable_floppy_images = 1 in FS UAE, after I had tried to load my DM save ADF image in a different FS UAE config I made for CSB, only to have CSB say that there was no saved game found on the disk. It turns out that if you don't add ...

Question about CSB Amiga versions

Hi, Having just completed the Amiga version of DM, I've been looking into Amiga versions of CSB. I haven't been able to find an ADF version of CSB 3.5, but I found a WHDLoad version of it. The WHDLoad had issues when I tested loading a save state though, it would crash and display the message "...

After some searching, I found out that the alternative ending could only be done with the non-completed firestaff, so I loaded the save state before I completed it, and it worked.

Re: Back at it again

Regarding the buffing potions, a Lo level buffing potion (except Ku) gives 9 or 10 points up until 120, and from then on only gives 6 points per potion. Lo level Ku potions give 6 points up until a strength of 120, and then only gives 4 points per potion afterwards. If you buff a stat to more than t...

Back at it again

Hi. I've started playing DM again. Since I've switched to Linux recently, my AHK buffing scripts would not work anyway, so I'm playing the Amiga version (3.6) this time. I like the improved sounds of the Amiga version and the proper full screen in FS-UAE. The save states are convenient too. I've cho...

Maybe I'll try the CSB challenge some time, but for now I'm taking a break from CSB after having just completed it 2 times in a row.

I think CSB is probably my favorite dungeon crawler so far :)

Re: My CSB journey.

I went up and picked up the 4th corbum. It was a very short walk to it from DDD, quicker than I had remembered. Afterwards, I went down to the stairs below, and found Diamond Edge in the alcove at the pillar. I gave it to Petal instead of Dragon Fang. I went back to DDD and went up to level 0 via Ro...

I'm now at DDD from the Neta way. It went pretty quickly. I grabbed a few worm rounds from the junction and used them to check when the first teleporter was active, then waited at the second teleporter to take me to the Key of B. I then went and vexed the vexirks. I killed the screamers and an oitu,...
