Re: Want to disable sound acceleration i n Windows 7

Posted on 2024-03-04, 15:13

in Windows
Thanks all. I tried disabling the "speakers" from playback devices in the sound control menu in Win7, but that disabled all sound completely. I think darry is right about DirectSound already being emulated in Win7, because most of the old games with sound issues that were fixed by reducing sound …

Want to disable sound acceleration i n Windows 7

Posted on 2024-03-03, 18:44

in Windows
Is there any way to disable the sound acceleration in Windows 7? I used to be able to do this in Windows XP by running dxdiag.exe and moving the slider in the sound tab all the way left, then the "device" type would change from "WDM" to "emulated". Sadly, dxdiag.exe no longer has these sliders in …

Jedi Knight texture lighting issue

in Windows
Jedi Knight has some "lighted" textures in software mode which are supposed to stay full bright regardless of the area lighting, but this effect is lost in hardware acceleration mode. See the comparison screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/PG0lnpn Is it just my PC or has everyone experienced the same? …

Decompiling. I looked at doing the same for MW2: Mercenaries - but it seems the MW2.exe there is compressed (Causeway compression with CWC? Can't tell) and I can't seem to be able to unpack it so can't patch it the same way. Tried CUP386, Tron, etc none worked - there were also 2 old Causeway …

Mechwarrior 2 Jump-Jet Recharge Fix

Posted on 2023-06-22, 07:23

in DOS
Jump-jets recharge-rate in Mechwarrior 2 (& Mercenaries) seems to be affected by high framerates, to the point where they won't recharge at all if you play on DosBox with modern PC with auto/max cycles. The only solution until now was to either cheat with unlimited jump jets, or to keep adjusting …

Re: Windows 95/98 games you never get tired of?

in Windows
For me this would be a list of games with the most single-player replayability ever: 1. Alpha Centauri. (feed my OCD you addictive time sink) 2. XCom ufo defense. (gold edition ran so smooth & fine on Pentium-3 & win98) 3. Baldur's Gate 1. (No TotSC expansion) 4. Unreal Tournament 99. 5. Mechwarrior …

Re: Do you use CRT monitor for gaming?

Posted on 2020-11-16, 11:46

in Windows
Yes, I've got a couple that are my first choice for any games that support them, despite their aged condition: one seems to lose the green color at times until it warms up properly or you slap it just right. The most important thing I found with CRT is fast & smooth motion with no ghosting or blurry …

Re: Most beautiful Dos-Games for a 486...what are your favorites?

in DOS
To add to others' replies: Crusader: No Remorse MDK Mechwarrior 2 (I remember taking screenshots of the changing sky gradients reflecting on my cockpit) Some games just had a timeless & pleasant art style, which although not beautiful in the sense that you would pause the game to admire them or take …

Re: Best way to play Descent Freespace & Silent Threat?

Posted on 2019-02-21, 12:50

in Windows
If you like very high-res ships, like the ones in the cutscenes, then you can install the Freespace-Port for Freespace-2 open-source mod. If you prefer the old plain nebulae over the ones in Freespace-2, then you should play Freespace-1 original. If you're playing the original, either use a real …

Re: CD audio missing - my research

in Windows
That's interesting thx! I did not know that there are different drivers (wdm/vxd) ? I alway upgraded the standard win98se drivers with the sb-updatet win9x drivers. I don't know if they are WDM or VXD drivers. All I know is, I can't hear CD-Audio Tracks in Win9x with mounted Images. Original CD's …
