    Build date/size:
    This build is dated August, 8th, 2005
    unpacked size is 0.54gb.

    Pictures/Video: Never bothered to take screens. Much appreciated if somebody could grab a few.

    What hardware do I need to run this on?
    The executable is from the Beta 1-hardware stage, pre-1888.0 recoveries. Does not run on Beta 2 or final hardware, as-is.

    All in all there seem to have been 4 types of executables, identifiable by their file extension and/or the ASCII string at the beginning of the file:

    Alpha:
    *exe/MZ and says "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" when opened in any Hex Editor.

    Beta1 (pre-1888.0):
    *exe/XEX1 or *exe/XEX- [there may also be *xex/XEX1 executables, I just never encountered them]

    Beta2/Final:
    *xex/XEX2

    What is it?

    When I said sort of unreleased, what I meant is that this was most likely released as FM 2006,
    judging from the existing files it seems to be a fairly direct port of the PC version of FM 2005.
    There's also a changelog included, btw.




    Where's the link?
