As promised yesterday, I mixed my newer code, my v17.00 code and some of my old v16.42 code. Now I'm sure the scores can be seen on all configurations. So here's the new version, Kyodai Mahjongg 17.21, which has an additional option in the "Video Card Compatibility" section, which you can enable if you don't see the scores -- and then you'll see them...
This new versions does have, of course, a few new features, such as a beautiful new default background. And, and... An unexpected and long-awaited fix to the slowness problem under Windows 2000 when enabling music. I just couldn't believe it was not
completely the SB Live drivers' fault. Well, at least I managed to find what they were doing wrong with my game. Now it works great. Have fun !
