Re: A85: The Quest III + Conversion Help


i just have one question: will the q3data string be usable in quest III
ch2?  i beat the game when the gold bug was still there (if you had more
than 255 gold and saved it, it saved a byte instead of a word). will i
just have to add an extra byte to the end of the string to make it
playable in ch2? or was the save format never altered?

also, scroll 2 pixels at a time, instead of 1.  it's faster, and
sometimes scrolling gets annoying...  good thing the 85 display isn't
like the 82/3's otherwise the scrolling would be a blur, which made
Joltima a pain in the ass to play.
