The current list is English, German, Italian, Spanish, Swahili, Japanese, Greek, Latin, Hebrew and French. Transliteration is used for the wildly different character sets in some languages, as mentioned in the manual : )

Pretty cool! Although, my color blindness makes it harder than it should be to tell the difference between French and Spanish... but that's just me haha. Maybe color could be user-configurable, like language?
Also... THIS!

Hahaha Yeah that one cracks me up every time I've seen it pop up. Actually had to make a routine that will accept either A or B in instances where the languages share words hehe

I'll look for some real estate on the options screen for color selection. Might be a good idea. Thanks!

Do you have The Fox's power mappers? I believe the rom is mapper 30.

It should work since you were able to beta test Larry back in the day, since it's a UNROM512 game, but make sure that you're using the same mapper file on your Powerpak that you used back then.

edit: I look for the mapper file for 30 minutes and Tim beats me to the explanation. Haha. Couldn't find the file though, sadly.

Aw damn. Yeah, I don't believe there's PowerPak support for mapper 30 currently. Gonna have to check it out on the PC.

Look up Power Mappers. I think 30 works except for saves.

Thanks. I double checked but mapper 30 is not included in thefox' power mappers. :/

Oh man. I just had a great time going back through that thread. The mapper for most of the Larry betas was (modified?) 02. Of which, I understand 30 is derivative with flash save functionality. I was only able to run the UNROM version in fceux. (That took me a while to remember all of that.  ) Fceux is fine and all, I just prefer playing on the TV.

I'm pretty stupid when it comes to this stuff. Is there a way I can edit the header to use 02?

Anyways. I ended up just listening to Carly Rae Jepsen and reading an old copy of the Ball St. Journal tonight instead.
