OutRun does not support Hercules natively. But if you use that program, SIMCGA which AFAIR emulates CGA on Hercules, then you can launch the CGA patched binary and play. It should work.

 

[Trixter]

If the XT is 4.77 MHz, outrun will not run at a playable framerate under SIMCGA (this is not a slam on SIMCGA, just a statement of fact).

I don't know how the expandability is on the Schneider, how many slots do you have?

So is there going to be a XT-IDE + Tandy sound combined card? Never heard of that project. Who's producing it?

 

[dr.zeissler]

Yes there will be a combi-card...I think it will be available in 2021.

A couple more games have been patched:

Castlevania
Cosmic Soldier: Psychic War
David Wolf: Secret Agent



Will upload on the repo soon.

this is really interesting that the tandy-sound-device get's it's patches.
For me as a tandy1000 owner I still think about, why e.g epyx did not support tandy on their old/first releases.
Think about Jimmy Huey has ported Summer/Winter/Worldgames/Int.Karate...these are excellent games that still make fun when playing today on cga/pc-spk...but man would they be great I they got converted tandy-sound and ega-graphics.
