You fixed it! Thanks! Two more comments:
1) I have the volume set to max for music and sfx and can barely hear the music/sfx when playing. I feel like the volume should be about twice as loud. Do you have this issue too?
2) Can you add the ability to make Conan portable? For example, if I create a directory named "portable" in the directory where I have the Conan-Hall-of-Volta.exe program, then high scores, settings, logs, shader_cache, etc would be stored in the "portable" directory instead of the "%APPDATA%\Conan-Hall of Volta\" directory. This makes it easy to transport the game with its settings to another computer. Your program would only need to check if a directory named "portable" exists where Conan-Hall-of-Volta.exe is. If it exists, settings are stored there. Otherwise, settings are stored in "%APPDATA%\Conan-Hall of Volta\". If you do this, don't forget to update your excellent user manual too!
Great work on this! I hope you can do some more classic Commodore 64 Datasoft games as well which might include Bruce Lee, The Goonies, and Zorro! Not a Datasoft game, but Karateka would be great too!
