For the Macintosh release, the resource fork must dumped as a file named

2018-03-18 17:00:00 +01:00
|
|
|
'FLASHBACK.BIN' (MacBinary) or 'FLASHBACK.RSRC' (AppleDouble).

To hear music during polygonal cutscenes with the PC version, you need to copy
|
|
|
|
|
the music/ directory of the Amiga version or use the .mod fileset from
|
|
|
|
|
unexotica [4].

|
|
For speech with in-game dialogues, you need to copy the 'VOICE.VCE' file from
|
|
|
|
|
the SegaCD version to the DATA directory.

By default, the engine tries to load the game data files from the 'DATA'
|
|
|
|
|
directory, as the original game executable did. The savestates are saved in the
|
|
|
|
|
current directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These paths can be changed using command line switches :
|
2015-08-02 18:00:00 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage: rs [OPTIONS]...
|
|
|
|
|
--datapath=PATH Path to data files (default 'DATA')
|
|
|
|
|
--savepath=PATH Path to save files (default '.')
|
2016-05-09 18:00:00 +02:00
|
|
|
--levelnum=NUM Level to start from (default '0')
|
|
|
|
|
--fullscreen Fullscreen display
|
2018-03-28 18:00:00 +02:00
|
|
|
--widescreen=MODE 16:9 display
|
2017-11-03 17:00:00 +01:00
|
|
|
--scaler=NAME@X Graphics scaler (default 'scale@3')
|
2017-12-06 17:00:00 +01:00
|
|
|
--language=LANG Language (fr,en,de,sp,it,jp)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The scaler option specifies the algorithm used to smoothen the image in
|
2018-03-18 17:00:00 +01:00
|
|
|
addition to a scaling factor. External scalers are also supported, the suffix
|
|
|
|
|
shall be used as the name. Eg. If you have scaler_xbrz.dll, you can pass
|
|
|
|
|
'--scaler xbrz@2' to use that algorithm with a doubled window size (512x448).

|
|
|
|
|
'adjacent' : left and right rooms bitmaps will be drawn (default)
