MS offerings in this area have been rubbish, to say the least.

Careful, put an Atari this close to an Amiga and you'll have a war going on...

Ported some code for .NET Framework 2.0 (because it's compatible with Windows 98. At least if you install the ANSI version made for it).

I was talking about 64 bit Windows. I used a VM in order to replicate what its installer does in a new 32 bit installation wizard built with InnoSetup. You don't need to install DirectX, everything needed is already installed. DirectX is a Windows component since Windows 98.

Thank you so much ! It is very kind of you to have taken the time to implement this. I'll try it ASAP (and talk more what about I'm trying to do in another thread). It's indeed a graphical animation with no sound (read from LOGO.HNM data file) -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR8eo6QltCU

Yesterday I finally fixed a CRT wobble problem by putting two and two together and put the oldschool cordless land-line phone far away from the screen. Problem fixed. Heh.

Hello I have DuneImpactor, DuneExtractor, LipsInjector, LipsExtractor (LIPS files in DUNE.DAT are used to synch mouth movments with speech). I sent a message to Tgames to see if it's OK to share them with you guys. I worked with him previously in order to import the French dub from the SEGA CD …

Hey the more options the better it will be ! I'm trying both at the moment, with a few problems (mas2mc: can't compile the C code 'as is' but that's expected. With your project, OUTSB and LODS are not recognized. :( ) I'm using IDA 5 freeware if that's important. But perhaps my RE efforts should be …

The first DUNE game is by Cryo, not EIDOS. :) I love it and it's the most faithful indeed. But Chani is a badass warrior in the book. In the game, she does not wage war at all and needs to be rescued. I really love this game, but Chani could not be more removed from the source material here. (In …

Hello, Very, very interesting ! Can it work on Dune (floppy version, for 286 without FPU) ? I should contribute indeed ! I have for starters a single exe (LOGO.EXE, which reads and plays LOGO.HNM), with LZ compression removed (the executable was LZEXEd with the tool by Fabrice Bellard).

I built two systems. One is a P3, the other is a Pentium 1. Both with 3DFX. One with an SB16 in it and Windows 95. Once complete (don't get me wrong, it took a lot of tweaking over the years), I don't tweak them anymore. Now I enjoy them and play games on them. For example, Doom Zero on Windows 98SE …

As a phone only without data they last way longer. If you use YouTube for a few hours that's a different story.. It depends on your usage.

Of course, see below. And you really should use DOSBox with Windows 3.11, way less headaches. See this thread: Disney Interactive's Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow Patch

You need to run in with DOSBox with Windows 3.11 installed in it. It's also the ONLY way to get fullscreen mode. Fullscreen mode is very important to avoid tearing. If you still want to avoid emulation, use the patch available on 'some websites'. You still won't get fullscreen mode, but at least the …
