I have installed ZC 2.10 but every time i try to launch it it comes up "zelda-w.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." this is the contents of allegro.txt. i thought it might be useful.😊

Create a file in your zelda classic folder, call it "ag.cfg". Open it with Notepad and add the following to it...

[zeldadx]
resx = 640
resy = 480
sbig = 1

Save the file (make sure it is not named ag.cfg.txt)
try running Zelda Classic again.
