Zombeaver Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Logical Journey of the Zoombinis has been updated to version 2.0. This updates the game version to Logical Journey of the Zoombinis Deluxe, adds Retroarch support with shaders and bezels, controller support via Antimicro, Reshade support, and ASuite for management. I still plan to do this with a few more of the older packages, bringing them in line with the feature set of the newest ones, but a user recently made me aware of the Deluxe version of the game which brings a few improvements over the original (which is what was used in the original package) so I figured it'd be a good opportunity to take care of this one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondorito Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 So many awesome memories with the Zoombinis from my childhood! What a great game! I remember playing it wondering what happens when you take all of the Zoombinis to the new land... Spoiler Nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec-s-joe Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Wow, zoombinis! Played this at school 21 years ago on Windows 95, it was probably the first PC game I had played. The Pizza level was the best one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be having an issue with Obsidian. The video is fine, but the audio wouldn't stop stuttering. I tried changing it to windowed mode and noticed that you can change the buffer length. The longer the buffer, the more time before it starts skipping, but no matter what that's all it does. Is there any way to fix this? Thank in advance.

I'm having the same stuttering issue with the audio. @PretentiousHipster, did replacing the .cfg file work? If so @Zombeaver, could you please post it again? It says the file is unavailable. Thanks!

Zombeaver Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 @RosieTheB it's still there, you just have to be logged in to the forums to download attachments. That isn't for Biosys though, that's for Obsidian. Biosys was the first game I did with PCem, when I didn't know exactly what I was doing, so I really need to remake it. My suggestion would be to just update the version of PCem to the newest (v17). Just drag the files in and overwrite. They've improved their dynarec quite a bit over time so that alone may solve your issue. If not, let me know and I'll walk you through some settings changes to make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieTheB Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) @Zombeaver quick reply, thanks! I downloaded and unzipped the latest PCem and dragged all the files across to ../Games/Zomb's Lair/Biosys and overwrote but no good. Opening Biosys now just runs PCem with a blank window. Do I need to install PCem properly or before dragging the files over? I found the "INSTALL" file in the PCemV17Win folder with some installation instructions and shell commands. Do I need to do any of that first? Edited March 13, 2021 by RosieTheB "@" mention hadn't linked properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you've done something wrong then. Should work exactly the same as it does before. I'll take a look tonight. 11 minutes ago, RosieTheB said: Do I need to install PCem properly or before dragging the files over? No. It's portable.

Zombeaver Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 @RosieTheB Okay so, yeah, I'm not sure what you did but you must have done something wrong because I just tried it and everything worked as expected. You just have to drag all the files from v17 into the install folder and overwrite all. Then start the game with Biosys.bat (not pcem.exe). You're going to want to make a few settings changes afterwards though. Press Ctrl + Alt + PgDn to switch to windowed mode. Now make the following changes: Video > Render Driver > OpenGL 3.0 Video > Output Stretch Mode > 4:3 Video > OpenGL 3.0 renderer > Input Stretch Mode > 4:3 Video > OpenGL 3.0 renderer > Input Scale > 4x Now you'll be all set. If you still have any performance issues afterwards, there are some further tweaks that can be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieTheB Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 @Zombeaver yeah, I'd already tried to play with settings in the Misc > machine bit before updating, which it didn't like. Uninstalled and reinstalled and the drag/overwrite worked fine after that. Thanks, will change those settings and let you know if it works!

Took some time to mess around with shaders in PCem a bit (in addition to the normal Reshade, Antimicro, etc. bells and whistles) with pretty good results.

Zombeaver Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 I discovered a minor issue with Nightmare Creatures which I've hotfixed. The package has been updated so any future downloads will be unaffected but if you've already installed with the previous version you can find a quick drop-in hotfix in the below post. https://www.zombs-lair.com/post/nightmare-creatures-hotfix 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
