Post by: Demon-Seed on November 10, 2004, 03:50:27 pm
Hello,

  Every time I install Magic Engine it renders my Windows XP installation unusable.  I have to re-install Windows from scratch.

hmm.. yes I guess you can play without bios-rom.

if you loke once more in my pt.ini file you see that you can set Fullscreen to 0 or 1

the newer versions (V0.90 upward) doesn't support commandline.
as far as I know the newest commandline version is 0.82.

here is a link;
