I was wondering if anyone had the "INF" file for the original Nemisis (not Nemesis 2) they could share please?

Although for now I've copied 3 other corrupt files to an image of my original from the backup the "INF" file is corrupted on both microdrives

Many thanks

Here we are. I think there are different Nemesis versions (at least different packaging). This is the one I have - zipped in Windows to allow attachment. Let me know if it works.

Thanks Chr$

I tried it on q-emulator and it crashes out after a short while of trying to launch, but I noticed on your website you mention you couldn't run it in q-emulator either

Mine has the same list of files as yours, in same order

Anyway, I tried it in vDrive instead and I got to the intro screen and the option to select 1 or 2, so thought it was ok. But when I selected 1 I ended up with a blue screen (actually alternate blue/black thin lines) very different to the q-emulator crash

I don't know if this is a further file corruption I don't know about or if it's failing a protection check, but without the ability to run it in q-emulator I don't think I'll get anywhere anyway!

Many thanks

Success!

I stripped it back to a BBQL and it went to the blue screen again but this time I saw a lot of mdv access and after a while the game started

Shall I send the ESC file over?

Many thanks

Seems I was being impatient as it does continue to load with trump+qimsi or just trump BUT the splash screen (after the blue screen) is fairly corrupt so will assume it's a BBQL only game

Many thanks

I do have a correct ESC file but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing yours to see if they are the same.

Got it, yes it's the same as the uncorrupted version I got hold of.

That’s good to know thanks

I just need to find a nemesis case now!

Give me a shout if you need any help with the original Nemesis - I know it did have some issues but I cannot recall what they were (hence Nemesis MKII)
