Thanks for the heads-up :) I tired that version, and although it helped a bit with the scratchy sounds when selecting an SB or SBPro (some scratchiness is still there, though), the voice sound effects sounded even higher in pitch when selecting an SB16 for digital output. @All, BTW, does anyone have …

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this problem? As the other posters replied, the voice sound effects are ALMOST the correct pitch when selecting SBPro (as well as SB) for the game's digital output, but the voices are quite scratchy sounding... and …

I've recently been playing the CD version Tempest 2000 for DOS under DOSBox. The game supports keyboard and joystick, but not the mouse. Does anyone know of a DOS TSR utility that would remap the mouse axis to the up/down/left/right arrow keys on the keyboard? Also, remapping the mouse buttons to …

I've recently aquired and older Magellan RoadMate 3000T GPS. The GPS has an MP3/WMA player utility installed on it, as well as a BMP/JPG photo viewer utility... both of which were created by Magellan. The GPS' OS is Microsoft Windows CE v5.00 Build 1400 (running on an Intel ARM processor), and I can …

Like Kerr replied, "Duke it Out in DC" was great. Another excellent mission pack/TC was "Platoon" by TNTTeam (hehe, not to be confused with "TeamTNT" of "Eternal DOOM" fame ). TNTTeam went on later to develop the retail "NAM" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAM_%28video_game%29 ), which was based on …

Just a heads-up: XMPlay's MIDI plugin (the "MIDI Mixer" feature of the plugin) is quite handy for determining the maximum voices/polyphony for any given MIDI file (see attached screenie) 😀

Could you explain how you create icons with "visible borders"? Like the icons you've used in the bottom left corner on this screenshot. When I try to size an item, it says "Cannot size this type of item!". According to the helpfile, only icons with visible borders can be resized. Sounds logical, …

Try lighter fluid (you know, for a flint type Zippo lighter), which is naphtha. Naphtha will remove and disolve almost ANYTHING from most ANY non-porus surface... without any damage to almost ANY surface :) It's great for removing any sort of gunk, tar, gum, crayons, permanent marker, wax, etc... …
