Can't Read the Books in YsI&II for TurboGrafix

[helixnrg]

Hi all,

I've just kicked Dark Fact's butt on the Turbo Grafix CD version using the Magic Engine Emulator v1.0.0 PR 10 for MacOS X, but now I can't read the final book to finish the game and begin Ys II (which I've waited 18 years to play!!!).

I HAVE the glasses I received from Lair (is there also a monocle?) If I select the glasses from my inventory, nothing happens. If I select the hammer from my inventory, and use button II, the hammer works correctly. But the glasses don't work!? What am I doing wrong?

Fortunately I saved my game before the big fight with Dark Fact, so I hope there is hope yet!

Thanks in advance!

If the monocle/glasses don't work, try just selecting the Book of Fact and use that instead. That just might be crazy enough to work.

Yep, I found that's how it's done!

I got a bit confused by this, because from memory, there was a key command in the Apple IIGS version which would then present a list of each of the books, from which you could select to read each one.

Anyways, I'm happily playing Ys II now.

Hehe, the opposite happened to me.

I played Ys I MS-DOS (it's the same for AppleIIGS, but worse music) and I didn't know how to read the books because I couldn't select them or the monocle.
Some minutes/ hours later I figured I just had to press the "r" button on the keyboard... XD duh.
