Acorrding to the SDL website http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/docs.html?rev=1.44 Xinerama is supported. I just don't think it works automatically. You might have to put in a couple of lines here or there to make sure that full screen shows up on a specific screen. I know that mplayer …

Ok, I found some info that may be of use in stopping the things that make mechwarrior 2 crash. In the second jade falcon mission everything was working great. Then all of a sudden I came over the first mountaint to where I could see the burning base. When the base got into full view I saw thes …

Hey, I love dosbox, it works great. And I can finally play mechwarrior 2 after almost 10 years! But I can't play it full screen. I have to play it in a window. This is because I have two monitors and I run Linux with xinerama. If I press alt-enter the game still works, but it consumes both of my …

I'm going to try this in Linux. I'm using kernel 2.6.5 on gentoo Linux with the nvidia drivers working. I emerged dosbox 0.61 just now. I will post here how it turns out. UPDATE: HOLY SHIT IT WORKS! Here is how I did it under gentoo Linux. 1) emerge dosbox. 2) run dosbox and create a config file 3) …

Here is what I got so far. 1) DOSBOX isn't necessary. 2) VDMSound is good. 3) SAPUCDEX doesn't help. 4) NOLFB is necessary. First, get a windows command line (cmd. …

OK, I tried the CD Crack available at this URL. http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/5122/crack.htm The hex it wanted me to edit was only in the mech2.exe and not n mw2.exe. After applying the crack the game loaded. The videos played and the game menus worked just fine. But whenever it gets to the …

the label trick didn't work at all. I have this as my mount statement mount d h:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label "MECH2_16B" I've tried all combinations of ioctl and aspi. I've also tried with and without quotes around MECH2_16B. Every time it says Drive D mounted as CDRom. Shouldn't it say Drive D …

Hi, I've got the DOS version of mechwarrior 2, and I've been dying to play it for 5 years. I haven't been able to except for once on an actual DOS machine. Since I don't have an actualy DOS pc lying around I think DOSbox is my only hope. The other DOS emulators just don't cut it. So here's my …
