Re: patch for WinXP/2000 monitor issues

I don't know if this is mentioned anywhere else but I found this blurb on Ken Silverman's website: "08/16/2004: Update: Stiletto of Vogons has pointed me to another similar utility, supposedly more widely supported than the others: http://www.volny.cz/martin.sulak/. Here's a download link: http:// …

Re: System Shock 1 problem

For the life of me I can't remember which thread I found this on but it WAS here at VOGONS. This file has been modified in some way shape or form and seems to make SS1 work in XP with VDMSound.

Re: Sanity: Aiken's Artifact

in Windows
Has anybody got anything on this one under XP? I just located an old cracked executeable on the web and it seems to at least allow me to load the game and play it. However, I am missing the background music while using this crack (I know because the game works fine under 98 ). I DID go out and buy …

Did something happen to dgVoodoo?

Hey guys. Just thought I would ask around about this. I can still go into and read the original thread on dgVoodoo (which is still sticky'd by the way) but it seems to be locked. As far as I know Dege's website is still up and running but we seem to have locked his thread. I wish to make this the …

Re: Program being used problem

Come on you VDMS guys! There has to be a better solution to this. I am having this problem two-fold now, BTW. I also run several "open source" video playback filters and they also refuse to release their own related file types. I only post here now as I have rebooted after such an occurance with …

Sanity: Aiken's Artifact

in Windows
Well, while this game isn't exactly "old" it still doesn't seem to work under XP. This game runs fine with DX7 under Win95 or 98 (I know, I dual boot Win98). This game is based on the Lithtech engine like Shogo: MAD, Blood 2 and NOLF. However, this game uses an overhead third person perspective …

Re: system shock 1 under xp

in DOS
Thats cool. I think the sound bit has to do with your IRQ (your REAL IRQ, not that ACPI/WinXP fake one) and whether or not it conflicts with another device in your system. Also, if anybody can tell me how to get SS1 from complaining about COM ports 1 & 2 not being accessable I'd appreciate it. I'm …

Re: Doom and doom2 sound static and slowdown

in DOS
Mike, how good are you with a screwdriver? :wink: You can probably hook your old HD into the new 'puter and it will just show up as another driver letter under your OS (which is what BTW?). Then you can direct copy your files from one HD to the next. If they are all DOS games then you shouldn't run …

Re: system shock 1 under xp

in DOS
Cool, thanks. What exactly was done to the .exe to make it work? Also how do you get sound in XP without VDMSound? I can't enable legacy sound support without it crapping out on my system. Not sure if its an IRQ conflict or some other silliness. My sys: A7N8X Deluxe rev 1.04 (<-- nforce 2 of course …

Re: system shock 1 under xp

in DOS
I'm in the same boat as this guy (CD version, Win XP). Forget Dosbox, that's the same as giving up in defeat. That's not why I come here. I would like to know about this "System Shock CD XP patch" as mentioned by a certain someone in this thread. I can't seem to find it anywhere, even after using …

Re: Thief Gold & Win XP

in Windows
The following section of text from the link I posted is what fixes that problem. Not sure how it works but it does the trick: >>Nvidia Driver 5x.xx Fixes >>Explanation: This patch fixes the "Direct 3D Device does not accurately >>report texture memory usage" error from Nvidia drivers versions 5x.xx …

Re: Thief Gold & Win XP

in Windows
sweet! thanks. Also, do you have the "Daemonites model patch"? The links on the page by oRGy don't work mostly. Thanks again. EDIT: N'er mind. Found everything here: http://www.thief-thecircle.com/media/patches/ If anybody has any other ?'s, just pm me.

Thief Gold & Win XP

in Windows
Hey guys. I know that Eidos pretty much guarantees that this game won't run in XP but I've had mixed success. I used to run a GeForce 2 card in my system and have since then upgraded to a GF4 and now to a GF FX 5950. When running the GF2 I could get the game to load fine and play the first level for …

Re: A glide wrapper for DOS programs

Hey guys. dgvoodoo seems to be coming around nicely. I just wanted to throw my two cents in here. I actually got Blood 3D to work with the 3dfx patch (and no sound, but hey, baby steps as they say)! It doesn't even have that texture corruption like Shadow Warrior does. I tried turning sound on and …

Re: Alien Legacy not finding the CD

in DOS
I would suggest one of two things. Investigate what all those switches on your CD-ROM device do (presumeably they're from QEMM but I don't know for sure). Or, try and remove QEMM altogether. Your system files are not cluttered in the least. In fact, I think the only things you are loading are your …

Re: A glide wrapper for DOS programs

Dege, Is the vga pallete problem in SW is something that could be addressed with compatibility options under XP? I know you can choose to make programs "win 95 compatible" under XP but I'm not familiar with what all that does to the program. Maybe there is some other program that could help out ( …

Re: A glide wrapper for DOS programs

Hey Dege, I got SW working with glide thanks to your updated glide2x.ovl. I see the ugly textures myself. I can only assume it has something to do with the whole VESA issue under XP (since you mentioned good colors in win98) but then I don't know. The textures are downloaded to your HD so I also …

Re: A glide wrapper for DOS programs

Ok. I believe that. I can just barely remember something about it when I used to run a voodoo rush back in the day. Do I place that in sw3dfx.cf2? I tried placing it there and running it with dgVoodoo. However, the game still hangs after it loads into the dgVoodoo window. I am keeping dgVoodoo at …

Re: Blood problems

in DOS
I've had these kinds of problems myself in Blood and in Shadow Warrior. I had to apply CLI2NOP to get them both to run with sound at all. I'm not sure what the issue is but the fixpopf=1 does NOT fix the issue. My system is an Athlon 3000+ on an nforce2 mobo using onboard sound and running WinXP. …
