Re: Is DVD playback in a Windows 98 VM possible?

Posted on 2019-06-09, 01:57

Tried: PowerDVD 1.5 and 3 - Both gave a need acceleration error. Tried 2.55 and it said it could not find a decoder. I tried installing Interactual on my older XP VM and it ran the browser portions -much- faster (no doubt because of virtualization like y'all said), but it still couldn't find a …

Jo22 wrote: Is DVD playback in a Windows 98 VM possible? Yes, I believe. I got Windows XP to play DVDs in a VM once. I used Virtual Box and Power DVD 2.x or 3.x.. These versions do run fine under Windows 9x, too. 😀 Wow, how many frames per second did you get with that? 😁

Yeah I'm pretty sure nothing emulates a hardware card right now, which is why I'm looking for software options. (If I had to build a machine I'd definitely get a decoder card.) I don't need it to play smoothly, I only need it to work well enough for Interactual to not close down immediately. :) Now, …

Is DVD playback in a Windows 98 VM possible?

Posted on 2019-06-06, 23:52

I know this question is really out there, but please, bear with me. I currently have a Windows 98 VM in VirtualBox. I use it to run small, early 2D Windows games that don't need much power or speed. I'm doing some prep work for a future project of mine which involves the older PCFriendly / …

Re: Has anyone used Amazon for downloading games?

I got Return to castle wolfenstein off amazon as a download and it was through steam. Again, it depends on the game and the publisher. For example: This Sega Genesis pack includes Steam codes . This one does not. (It also has a few different games, but that's not the point.) The listings usually …

Sliderider, are you missing a specific purchased game from your shelf, or a freebie that came with a bundle? I'm missing a copy of Deus Ex, of course they want a purchase receipt (which I can't find) and they have no record of me buying it. All items, even freebies, send you an email receipt. It …

It's so optional that they screwed over everyone's shelves / collection in their online profiles just to give client users direct access to individual games, just like Steam does. A lot of us didn't like that, but apparently GOG had too much trouble making that optional. And by that I mean they were …

Heck the archive.org link is in the first post. :p Originally it pointed to a dropbox, but was later edited to the archive.org link we see now. Yes, DropBox suspended my share the next morning for hogging bandwidth, which is ironic given the nature of the share and the speeds at which people used …

One of the worst parts is that Jim/Trixter is STILL writing as though he's an employee of Gamefly No, I am not. I am simply calling for reason. I don't understand why people think abandoning the project less than a month after the redesign is sane. Obviously gamefly made a huge mistake, but they …

At least GameFAQs has somehow managed to endure even long after its buyout – at least for now. You'd think other people might learn from their example. The only offensive thing about the GameFAQs redesign was their choice of font. If GameFly was serious about the redesign they would've hired …

the owners are still keeping their mouth shut tighter than their own ..., and ignoring all the faithful contributors' pleas. Guess they are busy counting the money they got from Gamefly.. bast... The owners are GameFly. The previous owners have had nothing to do with MobyGames since 2010. So they …
