thexder 95

Post by resin » Fri Nov 04, 2011 1:21 am

Small but somewhat annoying issue with Thexder 95.. Every time I start up the game, the music setting is set back to "no music", even after I had turned the music on in the previous session.. Is there no way to have it remember my music choice? It's an annoyance having to turn it back on every time I want to play the game.. There's an option to "save options on exit", which is enabled, but it still won't remember my music choice.. Is this just how it is?

Did you use the installer from here? I'll try to take a look at it when I can find some time.

It happened when trying to play from cd normally, as well as after using your installer. Same results either way. I didn't see any config type files in the game folder, so I'm not sure where these options would be stored.. If you run the game as admin it will save keys to the registry, but even still the music won't stay on.. Thanks for taking a look.

I have tried to get it to set it, but it does not work. The settings are saved in the registry and this entry has it set for music to be enabled, but that is lost when the game starts. I can't remember if it did this on Win95 or not. It may have to be something you will have to live with.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for checking.

I may look into it a little more, but don't expect too much.
