I'm only here because Keropi showed this thread lol. I don't end up on this part of these forums very often on my own... Nowdays people use a tracker called Furnace and music is often done by VGM conversion to a format called XGM that SGDK supports. I don't really know what the situation about …
Re: Can an online library of classic video games ever be legal?
Posted on 2024-05-05, 15:19
Don’t think anyone can efficiently preserve software without committing piracy in the current legislation. The best way in my opinion is to host such software in countries which are less likely to enforce their anti-piracy laws and wait for their license to expire. This is fair because is the very …

I'm intimately familiar with how the sound works on MD, having made music and tools for this purpose for the machine in 2007...2010 or so timespan lol. If you encounter a TmEE somewhere on the old forums, that is me lol. You can find music people from places like "Battle of the Bits", which is …

As long as it plays well there will be people who want it. I definitely don't mind seeing new games although I don't play much anymore and in many cases the real deciding factor will be quality of the music since I spend a lot of time in sound tests of the games that have one or just listening the …

there is always demand for good games - megadrive included there are several new commercial ones released over the last few years and I have even bought several of them - it seems to me they were a success I say go for it! Thanks for replying! As a matter of fact, I already went for it... the game …
Demand for a new Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game
Posted on 2024-05-02, 16:47
Hey everyone, This is a kind of market research of sorts, basically I've started a new project for creating a new game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, something I was wanting to do for quite a while now. Right now I'm trying not to think too much about selling or making money out of it yet and …

For me, the latest DOS games played were: Quake Blood Shadow Warrior Ignition LSL 7: Love for Sail MDK Theme Hospital Shattered Steel Alone in the Dark 3 Grand Theft Auto As for Mortal Kombat Trilogy, you can buy the game from GOG if you don't have it already, then you can apply the Kommunity Patch. …
Re: Are there regular users here with profession away from tech industry?
Posted on 2024-04-22, 13:33
My first job was somehow outside tech, I did use a computer but my focus was on advertising a product. The product was kind of... kinky, to say the least. And yes, we DID use physical punching cards.
Re: Is it really my nostalgia or are you playing it wrong…
Posted on 2024-04-20, 12:45
Nostalgia does play a role, but this is not all. As a lot of people already pointed, game design rules were different back then, society was less cluttered and in general everybody had more time to enjoy things, so it was acceptable to make more difficult/cryptic games. Some mechanics can be only …
Re: List of games that benefit from SMARTDRV?

Blood and Shadow Warrior benefit greatly from SmartDrv in my experience. Far less HDD access (and noise) and much less stuttering specially when things explode.

And this is why I didn't think this topic is a good idea and part of the reason I didn't answer it on-topic. There is a lot to criticize about China's government or the politics of any country, my country also has policies that would certainly ruffle some feathers, but this forum is no place for …

Who knows how many Chinese are here? I guess not many, because not everyone has the conditions to register for this forum in China's network environment.I'm not sure what kind of attitude Europeans and North Americans have towards the Chinese. It seems to be more negative? In recent years, I have …

Brazil is a hot mess, nothing works, everything is extremely expensive, corruption is everywhere, but the worse is the violence.

When going into the Hardware Options portion of the Install program, Sound Blaster/16 isn't an option. That happened to me, too. Question is trying to remember what fixed it as it happened years ago :) If its not CPU speed, then it could be memory, if you type MEM in DOS, how much conventional …
Re: Alone in the Dark 2 & 3 No SFX
Posted on 2024-02-15, 00:48
My other guess would be the memory configuration, how does your config.sys and autoexec.bat files look like? Have you tried different combinations like enabling/disabling EMM386? How much free conventional memory do you have when running the game?

Here is what I would try to troubleshoot it: -Disable L1 and L2 caches in BIOS -After disabling caches, run DOS straight after boot instead of clicking start/shut down/ exit to DOS. This can be done by pressing F8 when the “Starting Windows 98” message appears and then selecting the “Command Prompt” …

Ok, some more info is needed: 1- What is your sound card? Does the sound work for other games in pure DOS? 2- What are your system specs? 3- Is it the floppy or CD version of the game?
