Game-Specific Issues

This release has the following known problems. There is no need to report them, although patches to fix them are welcome. If you discover a bug that is not listed here, nor in the compatibility list on the web site, please see the section on reporting bugs.

CD Audio Games

  • When playing games that use CD Audio (FM-TOWNS games, Loom CD, etc) users of Microsoft Windows 2000/XP may experience random crashes. This is due to a long-standing Windows bug, resulting in corrupt game files being read from the CD. Please copy the game data to your hard disk to avoid this.

  • The Kanji versions require the FM-TOWNS Font ROM.

Loom

  • Turning off the subtitles via the config file does not work reliably as the Loom scripts automatically turn them on again.
