I downloaded the most recent version. The popping is mostly with the sound as the Orb ship whizzes by.

During the intro? Or later?

During the intro, like when they fly around the mountain.

So I checked and I got no popping sound, myself using Agile.

I did. It seems to occur right before the initial attack of a new sound.

Am I deaf? I hear a "boop" sound but sounds normal?

There's a "click" every now and then. Take the scene when the ships approach the west coast at 0:30. There's a brief click before the ship noise "bloop" starts. Compare that with DOSBox starting at 0:27 here:
There are a bunch of clicks as they chase each other around the mountain (your video: 0:35-0:40). Like Collector said: "It seems to occur right before the initial attack of a new sound." Compare this to DOSBox (my video 0:32-0:37).

It shows up during the music as well. There's another click around 0:58.

I hear the click in your video Tawmis.

Lance has fixed this issue. Turns out it was playing sound header information as audio data when it shouldn't have. Easy fix I guess. It's all pushed on Github to the master branch or whatever. I presume Collector will provide a link here as well to the latest version.

Is it the "boop" sound like when they're flying around the Sierra mountain? I just assumed that was normal. I am not, otherwise, picking up on any "click."

I am eager for this new version - to see if I can finally hear the difference.

New version in first post.

With the latest version.

I did notice that the version # in the "task bar" (top bar) still says 1.0.0.0 or whatever. I don't see a version # change there - but that's probably just not being documented in the program itself, I assume.

No, version numbers are not being changed, yet. A lot of bug fixes are currently being made. Don't know when we might be releasing a beta version.

Yep. The click is gone in your latest video, Tawm.

New version in an installer in the first post. As posted there:

This version has an installer. It includes the option to add the folder shell extension "Run in AGILE". Right click on your AGI game folder in Explorer and choose "Run in Agile" to start the game. This can be removed with the uninstaller. To keep AGILE and remove just the shell extension, open the AGILE options (from AGILE's context menu) and uncheck "Add "Run in Agile" folder context menu item".

Works!

New version. I have added the context menu item "Create Shortcut to Game". Once a game is loaded this will make a shortcut on your desktop that will start the game in AGILE. See first post for link.

A couple of improvements. This version gives an icon browser to add the icon of your choice to the shortcut. Please let me know how it works for you. Again, grab it from the first post.
