The sound issues I had with AITD usually had to do with the CPU being too fast. Not sure if that’s your case…

Most of the issues mentioned in this thread basically boil down to the new term "enshittification." There are lots of videos on the subject, but Cory Doctorow's talk at DEF CON 31 lays out what it is pretty succinctly. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it. "The Great Enshitening" is the perfect …

Just tried searching how to get my external IP address and google basically told me to shove my fingers up my ass… That's because someone messed up their JSON-LD. You can add a FAQPage element on your website and Google crawls it to display these question/answer boxes in search results. Still very …

The 8-bit guy's list of reasons why his views are down are 100% excuses. He made less than half the amount of videos he did the year prior. So of course his views/ad revenue fell off a cliff. There's no mystery here. The dude is obviously burnt out. I've never understood the LGR fandom. Clint seems …

I don't think it's "the end", but for sure they were negatively affected by the corporate BS that ruined everything nowadays. Content creators have to spend more time working on things that not actually add to the quality of their content. From the top of my head here is one: Youtube is fully …

My only guess is that there may be different releases of LB.EXE available (retail, XPlosiv, Expert and Fair Game for what I could find online). Maybe you can try using LB.EXE from other releases of the game… FYI, the one I used was the Brazilian retail one.

I'm trying to run it better on Windows 10 not Win 98 machine, VM or otherwise. Being realistic, this game is one of those released at a time when hardware accelerated games were not common and 10fps was considered acceptable, not to mention it uses very old video modes like 320x240 8 bit color and …

Yeah I can get into the gameplay which will be fine, but I cover the intros too, which makes it problematic, without just using the AVI files and pretending it's working :-D Is there a halfway house at all? I'm happy running the CD in a drive with original CD audio, just need a workaround to get …

I see no sense running DOS programs on Windows 3.0 on XT machines. You always can run them in pure DOS instead. It has more to do with user experience… a lot or people didn’t know or care if the application was windows native or not, they just wanted to click an icon and see it working. For an XT …

Not sure if its a valid option for you, but there is VB 1.0 for DOS as well. It is for development of DOS programs, not Windows, so I guess it's not. Got it, the suggestion is because Windows 3.x runs on top of DOS, and it was not uncommon for programmers at the time to write DOS programs intended …

The major problem is that some good games can be delisted now. Apparently, Cult of The Lamb developers will delist the game next year. I think it's a bit premature to say that Unity is going away anytime soon. It won't go away, but now it will be permanently and exclusively associated with asset …

So, does anyone know if any of this works at all? I was having a tinker earlier, using hex editor to change references of .avi to .wmv or .mp4 inside LB.EXE but nothing really worked (Win 10). I also wonder if there's a way to hack out the videos altogether, so the game doesn't exit trying to load …

Basically abandonware is pirated software which the owner doesn't care enough to complain. In my opinion, despite it being piracy by technical terms, abandonware has a very important role preserving software that otherwise would be lost forever for not having comercial value. It's thanks to …
