Hi! Your game seems to be using FM, the OPNA sound device (aka FM-86), more precisely.

Some links for other vogons users, so they can learn about this game (Flame Zapper Kotsujin).. 😀

Hello & thank you for your reply !

I have two questions:

1. How to use this FM sound option with an emulator ?

2. I had a lot of trouble finding the Flame Zapper game. The only file I found was a disc image from other games. I would like to find the real installation files on floppy disks... know
you where can i find them ?

Greetings !

Hi
You should be able to find most of PC-98xx games and software in the existence in Neo Kobe archive https://archive.org/details/NeoKobe-NecPc-98012017-11-17
I can't find it myself, because they're grouped by developer/publisher, which you didn't specify.

It's strange though that the sound doesn't work out of box - that's the case with software using OPN(A) on default configuration in Neko Project 21/W or other forks of this emulator.

BTW I haven't tested it myself, but DOSBox-X's PC-9801 support is rather preliminary and lacking, so i wouldn't recommend it, Neko is generally said to be the most compatible one, you can even run the full PC-98 edition of Windows or newest versions of ReactOS in it.

EDIT: Could only find it there https://japanesepccompendium.blogspot.com/201 … ujin-pc-98.html
Audio synthesis works fine on my side

Hello Meowdori !

Thank you very much for the link to the Flame Zapper Kotsujin game ! It works very well with Anex86 & Neko Project 21 ! The sound also works it's great !

The developer & publisher of this game is CO2-Pro but on archive.org I can't find this publisher... in absolute terms I would like the original floppy disks for this game,
the file you sent me is a virtual HDD file (.hdi).

Is it possible to find these floppy disks ?

Greetings !

You're welcome!
As for the floppy version, I wasn't able to locate any such copy. This hard drive image is all there seems to be out in the wild, but maybe a deeper search would reveal something.

OK thank you very much for your help !

The emulation of the NEC PC-9801 is quite complicated I must say... it takes a lot of patience 😀

Greetings !

Not really, you just have to understand how a pc98 works. Anyway this game was a doujin release, so original floppies are rather scarce.

Hello !

What is a "doujin" version ?

Games made by small independent teams or individuals. Typically only sold at places like comiket, mail order, or a few specialty shops.

OK thank you for these explanations 😀
