Developer’s note:

This version brings preliminary support for EGA 320×200 16-color mode, and it has the Packed File Corrupt fix. It also has much improved opcode support, there are only a few 8086 opcodes still unsupported. The graphics modes (especially EGA) use different versions of some of the opcodes, though, so those might still give “Unsupported opcode” errors.

I have been testing the EGA support using Duke Nukem 2 (the shareware version), which is still somewhat glitchy but quite playable. It takes a really long time to load (I always think it has hung), but if you wait for a long time it will start. 🙂

Please let me know of any problems you encounter, I’ll again try to fix many of those for the next version!
