BACKWD28 is Backward II v.2.80, "the" ST emulator for FALCON O3O by
Cyrille Dupuydauby (dated Nov. 1, 1994). This version is a major
upgrade over the previous version I've seen (v.2.52). While the Falcon
TOS is compatible enough with older versions of TOS so that about 90% of
GEM programs will run fine, the game compatiblity is something else.
About 75% of games won't work because of Hardware changes in the Falcon.
Here's where Backward can come to your rescue! It is designed to handle
those hardware differences so that instead of 75% of games not running
you will find that about 70% (or more!) of your games DO run. Now
that's an improvement! It makes many more ST/STE programs compatible
with the Falcon, brings some bug fixes online, and provides you with a
library of configurations for many popular games. He even includes a
new patch program to permanently patch your programs to make Backward II
unnecessary! Requires a Falcon with at least 4 Meg of RAM and any video
mode (set up requires a non-40 column mode). Shareware (limited in only
allowing twenty configurations saved while the registered version allows
2,000!). As the older versions (v.1.44 and below) of Backward are
freeware the author says that if you don't want to register please use
one of them and not this upgraded version (support shareware authors!).
This shareware author keeps on supporting his product that's for sure!
Support him in turn!! Backward III is coming! Toad Hall BBS.
