Uncomment the SGLDrv.int lines and then you start it with KernelEx.

I don't recommend the 3Dfx versions of both Blood and Shadow Warrior, the renderer isn't properly hardware-accelerated. This. Basically they were done out of demand and how texture pixelization was the devil in 1997-98 when 3d cards were the hot thing. The way it worked doesn't render the game in …

Be warned that video drivers will have D3D HALs written for a minimum DirectX version. (i personally think DX downgrading's all crap advice anyway as the APIs separate their major releases in different DLLs)

To keep it simple, there's three major fractures: - the 1995-96 OG releases (including the original 3dfx/PowerVR/ATI/Matrox/S3 releases) - The 1997 Battle Pack version (A lot of YMMV makeover) - The 1998 Titanium Pack version (D3D with a lot of YMMV makeover) I've only owned the OG releases and …

Why not? A huge community effort could result in a great game, and the Duke Nukem modding community are very devoted and able. It might all come to nothing more than a few stalled attempts and some minor improvements and badly judged attempts to populate the already existing levels, but it's …

Beats of Rage is more of a framework for brawlers/beltscrollers/beatemups (sometimes extremely diverged into other scrolling genres like even metroidvanias). "Streets of Rage Remake" is what got legal trouble, though I could've sworn there was also a "SOR4" prior to the Dotemu game. IIRC the remake …

FWIW PCem v17 could still compile with GCC 4.7.2so that's a lot of leeway right there. All of my PCem testing (for my entire time) was gcc472 builds, and that's only recently changed since Michael Manley changed the building system and axed the makefiles.
