Policenauts - Intro (PC-98) [HQ]

Konami / Kojima Productions (PC-9821) [1994]

Captured with Anex86, T98-Next, CamStudio, VirtualDub and Audacity.

Making this game run and sound correctly on emulators was an exercise in frustration. I spent 9 hours on this recording, which lasts 9 minutes.

Links to abandonware resources are not allowed on YouTube, and we don't want any trouble with them. People should be able to google their way around all by themselves.

It is hard to install? i mean, it's a living hell like trying to play mame?

[Ryusennin]

@hulksjedi

Mame is very easy to configure in comparison. The PC-98 runs under DOS (it's not a PC clone though). Installing Policenauts requires some serious autoexec.bat configuration, which depends on the specific PC-98 model you have. It's even harder to make it work decently in an emulator, mainly because of issues with ADPCM and CD Audio support.

WHAT IS THIS PC 98 SYSTEM?

[Ryusennin]

@vasquez123100

It was a Japanese computer built by NEC in the late 1980s, early 1990s.

[vasquez123100]

@Ryusennin like the PC ENGINE?

[Ryusennin]

@vasquez123100

They were available at about the same time. But the PC-98 is a computer, the PC Engine a console -- they have nothing in common as far as hardware is concerned.

[Hellrun]

Epic. They don't make them like they used to!

[vasquez123100]

@Ryusennin but the have similar graphics well pcengine has a far lower resolution

[hulksjedi]

@Ryusennin Thanks for your replies brother! could you post me at least where I can get started? I had my share of autoexec configuration back in the days, I would just love to play PC-98 but all the sites I tried to gather info are on jp or 404. Any help would be much appreciated.
