winevdm (otvdm) is also an awesome alternative for 16-bits and is working with every win 3.x game I tried: https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases Eventual experimental builds: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winev … build/artifacts

Annoying issue with SDL2

I've been experiencing an annoying issue with SDL2 games for quite a while. However, the affected titles are not as many as it used to be. The issue is a sound cut-0ff which occurs about 5 to 10 seconds of playing. A few SDL2 releases ago I had to set an environment variable to force SDL audiodriver …

Ok, at least Hellbender's original version still has some good graphics (with minor glitches on modern systems, though). BTW, Fury3's level ending device still remained on TV's missions after removing STARTUP.POD.

Dark Forces for mac also has a hi-res HUD. Lucius said he will add support for loading Mac data files in the future on The Force Engine.

I wonder if the same could be done with Hellbender since just adding the game's pod to the ini didn't make a difference and there are no vox files on any of the game's folder.

It'd be nice if we could alternate between TV and Fury3 graphics and sounds on the fly as adding the Fury3 files replaces a few graphics and sounds on TV's original levels. Just don't use the STARTUP.POD from Fury³ and you should stick to the assets from Terminal Velocity for projectiles, powerup …

I just tried, but it just seems to ignore those files as the new menu won't show up. That's a real shame, I guess there's no modding support for the re-release... Fury3 as a mod seems to work. Just that there are seemingly three places where TV-Boosted-edition searches for files. By trial and error …

I'm still curious if anybody from around here tried my instructions earlier in the thread to load custom PODs and define new episodes on "Boosted Edition", I don't own it myself and I can't afford to buy anything and likely can't for a long time. You can just omit the levels I included from …

Interstate '82 - Game crashes when player runs into anything while on foot. The flag EmulateHeap used to work on Windows XP and probably earlier versions of Win7, but now it makes the game crash upon starting any mission. Limiting the framerate stops the game from crashing (without EmulateHeap). I …

But to enjoy that (hypothetical) high-res textures, the renderer should not be locked at 360p... As an S3 Virge freak, getting something lower than 640x480 sounds promising. What is 360p in this case? Is it just cropped 640x480 to 640x360 (quarter of the entry-level HD resolution 1280 x 720), or is …

There is now a 1.0.3 update that optionally raises the rendering to 640p (1365x640) by the old menu option VGA/SVGA. Looks much better now, but still far from native 1080p or 720p true rendering.

The rendered being locked at 360p makes it seem to be a port from the Android version instead of being ported directly from the DOS version. 360p is fine on a smartphone screen and transformer netbooks but not on desktop fullhd screens. I wonder why the Mac and Win3.x/9x versions of the games from …

Minimum requirements state Windows 10, but it's running on Windows 7 as well. So it's widescreen now, but still runs at the DOS version's crappy resolution, unlike the Mac version (1024x768)? Shame. It seemed to be rendering at something above than 640x480 but not sharp enough like the Mac version. …

This looks great. I'm really looking forward to play TV on a higher resolution. The Mac version goes up to 1024x768 which looks awesome, but emulation hasn't advanced much lately and I still haven't been able to bring my old mac back to life. The Terminal Recall engine remake also seems to have …
