Oh yes, there's a config file but all you can do is set the screen size (which you can do from a command line switch)

The link sounds as if it is suggesting that I change the code which I don't want to do as this problem affects at least one other game.

Thanks for the steer, though,

Non-PAE MacPup 529

Like some others on here I have a laptop that needed a non-PAE version of MacPup. So I have created two non-PAE versions of MacPup 529 based on different kernels. The first is based on kernel 3.2.32 which is the same kernel used in retroPrecise Puppy. You can download the iso from here: https://www....
