Oh, and I was wondering @UnnamedCharacter, do you have a standard method to generate the origin points for each sprite? If you have any tips, I would be very grateful!

Ah, that's some good investigative work and information from those tests @UnnamedCharacter! It might just be a coincidence, but I wonder if that 320x200 limit is tied to legacy code from the game since that is the original native resolution? Anyway, it's good to know about this limit for now...

I'd like to hear what @UnnamedCharacter has to say before drawing any major conclusions, but I think there's probably an upper memory limit on sprites in some way. I'm assuming if this limit were increased, it may allow for higher resolution sprites.

One more thing I should add... For my initial tests, I was using a program called DxWnd (https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/) to run Kilrathi Saga unmodified. I have since also tried WCDX and have verified that I get the same results as before. Just so people are aware of my testing...

I just wanted to say to @UnnamedCharacter, @Stinger, and others who have worked on pulling apart and enhancing Wing Commander, we couldn't be here without all your efforts and thank you! It's amazing how much progress has been made in a small amount of time. @Howard Day, it is so awesome of...

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Thanks for your efforts!

Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

This is an interesting thread and one I continue to watch. Thanks for your continued efforts @Stinger and we'll look forward to any future updates when you have the time. :) @mj78 In regard to 320x200 resolution, that was a resolution that IBM decided on in the early days of "PCs" (in...

I've really enjoyed this thread (and other threads) on exploring and reverse engineering Wing Commander! Thanks for everyone's efforts and one day I'd love to help out. :) One command line option you might want to add is 'z'. I think this indicates that Secret Missions 1 is installed. I was...

Good discussion here! Hey Loaf - do you know if the source provided to you was the original DOS version or the Kilrathi Saga port (or maybe both)?

Great to hear from you Chris! I've sent both you and LOAF a PM of the most recent bounce message. Hopefully that will help determine what is going on. BTW, I'm not upset about the prize issue. I know you guys are busy and so I've been patiently waiting. Glad we finally made contact though...

Good to hear from you LOAF. Believe me, it's good to finally make some progress on this. In regard to the email issue, I still have the "bounce" messages if it would be helpful to you (in case there is something strange going on...). I had sent emails to chrisreid@wcnews.com...

Hi guys. Over the last few months I seem to be getting email bounces whenever I try to email the WCNews staff news or regarding anything else. I've been sending emails mostly from my hotmail account (I did try another email account but that also "bounced.") Has anyone else had this problem...

That is absolutely awesome LOAF! Thanks to the whole team for putting so much effort into this. Can't wait to see what else you guys find. Good luck!

There was an FM Towns version of Wing Commander Armada? Do you know if it was any different from the PC version (like the CD soundtrack)? I didn't even know that version existed!

Although the Tarr Chronicles main website states that the game is meant for release "Q4 2006," Gamespot has a release date of Sep 10, 2007. Surprisingly, there still isn't a whole lot of information on this game yet... Hopefully there will be more info in the near future. Also, I'm wasn't...
