i tried both the
x68000v4

all the rest are working fine
thanks
Hi CraigAnderson !
I see that you don't like to read the readme.txt files which came bundled with the V4. Here's an excerpt.
Games - Can be launched from LHES
Games2 - Must be launched from pure DOS
Games3 - 4MB required
Let me explain. Many games are coded in a way that they use only the first 2MB of the system memory and do not go above it. You could have 10MB but they will still use only the first 2MB. These games must be launched from pure DOS or otherwise they will not run. Genocide1, 2 and Undeadline are some of them. Puzznic, for example, has corrupt sound effects if not launched from pure DOS. You will meet plenty of such games in Games2 directory. Here is how to launch them the quick and lazy way. Navigate to the desired games directory and press "Q" key two times. This will exit LHES and launch !Start.bat if it is in current directory.

Hi CraigAnderson !
Do you mean Genocide1 or Genocide2 ? Genocide1 works from pure DOS without problems.

what is the quick and dirty way to launch from games3 folder?
and i have been starting games from all the folders by just clicking on the iStart file.......it seems like most of them work that way>? seems like it was working
thanks
thanks

Hi CraigAnderson !
Games which reside in Games3 directory need more than 2MB ram so the best and dirtiest way is to set the amount of memory to 4MB and then launch them from LHES or DOS.
The majority, which is in Games, should launch from LHES or DOS on a 2MB machine without any problems.
