KQ6 CD Debug Restored!

Post by Collector »

The debugger was stripped out of KQ6 CD for release. Through the efforts of multiple people we have it nearly fully restored. More info as it develops.

It is done. Be sure to read the included README for all options.

This is cool (also made it so the thread copies to the KQ forum here).

Now, if we could get a group to remove that "save/restore" limit on Codename: Iceman. :D

Very cool. The only other debugger I've seen is in PQ3. I found it by accident when I deleted the "VERSION" file.

A few of the EGA games have them easily accessible.

It is much more extensive than that. http://wiki.sierrahelp.com/index.php?title=Debug_Modes

What make this unique is that KQ6 had its debug mode nearly completely stripped, but we have restored it to near complete.
