Worms Reinforcements

Okay, so Worms is fine, no problems there, and I acknowledge all the problems of installing Worms Reinforcements (either it doesn't know you've put the CD in the drive or it says 'error copying file' etc) but a quick read of a FAQ told me to just install Worms as normal, then copy all folders but …

Re: Help with building retro PC

I recently won a good old Diamond Monster3d 4MB PCI card. So, all that talk about some games only working on a Voodoo1 are solved, providing I can get a workable 2D card (GeForce 256 or something I imagine). Also got a genuine SB16 ISA coming in the post from the USA, both cards cost very little so …

Re: Help with building retro PC

Before I decided on getting a Voodoo3 3500 (I'm still looking on eBay for one, there's a few around) I bidded on, and won, a Diamond Monster3d Voodoo PCI 4MB, the first of its kind I believe.

Re: Help with building retro PC

Woah, lots to take in. Okay... I was not sure about which Voodoo chipset to go for, as I'd read that Voodoo3 was a bit of a disappointment, compared to its predecessor, but if it can be a one-stop solution to all my 2D and 3D video worries (including all 3 APIs) it sounds like the one to go for. …

Re: Help with building retro PC

Thanks to all the comments, and apologies for putting it in the wrong section. :) Great Hierophant: I want to run DOS games from '95 onwards (ones that would have trouble with both XP and DOSBox, and would also perhaps need Glide) so the last suggestion of the best system for now wasn't quite what I …

Help with building retro PC

Hello everything. :) Now, before we get started, I'm not a n00b, I've been using PCs since I was born, but I clearly never delved too far into the technical stuff like some of you guys have. Therefore, I'm here. I would like to build an old PC. Ideally, the best idea for one would be to cover the …
