That's s so cool! I had always wanted to add "Krusty's Fun House" for MS-DOS to my retro collection. I've had the floppy disk for years (thanks flyers_80!), but I could never find the correct manual to answer all those pesky copy protection questions.

Tonight I found out, there's a beautiful PDF version of the correct manual within the current eXoDOS collection. All of a sudden, the problem is solved and I can finally play the game! Yay!

If you want it, here's the original disk image, uploaded by flyers_80 in 2017: archive.org/details/KrustysFun

@gamingonlinux well, all is good but 100 titles is not preservation, it’s not even a private collection that would be worth mentioning. #TDC and #EXODOS has thousands of playable PC games preserved and growing, even archive.org has more. GOG as huge gap to catch up… and to admit that half of their DOS games play because of ExoDOS team’s work, actually…

Are you aware of #eXoDOS which is the preservation project aims to make #DOS games playable with several clicks.

We are happy to announce that the DOSBox Staging development builds (daily build) have achieved feature parity with DOSBox ECE yesterday!

This is important for a lot of people as ECE isn't developed anymore.
The eXoDOS project for example used a lot of ECE's functionality for running certain games.
