In my experience what really kills Win98 is installing lots of different versions of Direct X. Install the latest supported by the OS and then never allow an installer to add a different version. This so far has worked for me and I haven't had any problems with backwards compatibility yet...

Wasn't it usually just a hidden registry entry?

I'd been lugging most of the collection you see in my pictures around with me since their original release dates in plastic storage boxes. It wasn't until this year when I started renting a house that I had a room all to myself to dedicate to my gaming hobby. For myself however theres nothing more …
Re: Rama and Dos box-
Posted on 2010-10-28, 05:45
It works fine for me. It seems to run perfect for me at around 20k cycles. I've mounted the ISO images I made from the original disc and installed the game through dosbox. Then I run the command 'ramados'.

As far as I'm concerned I'm still missing quite a number of titles. I'm always on the look out for TA amongst others. =). Looking through everyone elses pics I see quite a few titles that I would love to have on my shelves. Now I know who I'm competing with sometimes when a bid war seems to come …

Re: Leisure Suit Larry 7 Slowdown.
Posted on 2010-10-18, 05:05
Just did a little more testing, I remember setting the cycles because the audio use to get choppy but I tried setting it to max and it doesn't seem to have the same problem. I guess a little extra juice gets by whatever is causing the problem in the first place. Anyways just wanted to follow up, the …
Leisure Suit Larry 7 Slowdown.
Posted on 2010-10-18, 03:15
I think this is probably a fault in the original game but I thought I'd bring it up here in case it could be remedied even though I've seen no other threads about this. It seems like a memory issue to me, the more screens you navigate particularly the ones with a lot of animation the slower the …
Lords of the Realm intro speed.
Posted on 2010-09-11, 07:04
Hey guys, Just installed Lord of the Realms and the intro runs way too fast. I believe this is because of the speed of modern cdrom drives or the speed of a mounted iso image. Adjusting the cycles doesn't do anything for the speed of the video segments. Check out this video to see the issue: http:// …

Posted on 2010-07-17, 15:50
So I've been messing around with Prophecy of the Shadow and I can't get it to run with MT32 for music. I've tried uart and intelligent mode but the same thing happens for each; the screen goes blank after starting the game and freezes. I watch my MT32 but no communication is taking place with the …

My version of Wiz 6 is a standalone version that was sold through Radio Shack, it has mouse support and the scrolling credits that you mention. Maybe this release was in between the "greatest hits" and the original release. **NOTE: I just reconfigured to PC speaker and it works just like yours, …

All the sound is just like white noise sounds, is that what I should be expecting? I played this game so long ago I honestly can't remember if there was more to the sound than that.

I searched cause I expected to find lots of threads about this but didnt find any. How do I make the digitized sound play properly in dosbox? It's all distorted right now. I'm running the fancy mouse supported version which was sold through radio shack. I'll leave more info as needed but I'm …

I'm running the CD version with a real MT-32 and the sound seems balanced to me. Dont know if this will help with your freezing issues but I always mount images as such: imgmount d c:\users\public\games\st25th.cue -t iso -fs iso
