Indeed, I remember looking for executable files in a game’s directory to find something other than the game itself, a “config.eve” or something, and running it to get some kind of text-based menu with unfamiliar conventions. I have a feeling I had to set the IRQ to 5 on my machine, I also remember something being 220 but maybe I’m imagining that one. I remember doing it so many times it no longer made sense. I remember seeing a friend (or a friend’s parent) set IRQ to 7 on their computer, that was a real event for me, first time I realized the other values were legitimate options too.
