Well, patience always seems to pay off in the end. Found a Corsair Spec-01 on Ebay for less than 70 bucks shipping included.

Candle_86, you're right. I didn't realize the devmode.lua file I downloaded was in text format. Once I saved it in "lua" format all was fine.
Far Cry 1 - no cheats with patches?
Posted on 2020-05-19, 14:21
Patched with 1.3/1.31/1.32/1.33, do any of these break the option to enable cheats? Tried the -devmode add on for the command line on the executable but no dice. Yes I did modify/replace the "lua" file per the usual instructions.

Yeah been checking Craiglist and Facebook marketplace, but so far the only cases I've seen are beat up and over priced.

See my specs for my XP sys in my sig, so far the range of games played on it is from 1999-2006, not including the games played via DosBox/GOG enhanced of course.

Part of the issue is me stuck on having a 5.25 bay, guess I need to get with the times! Yeah, this is real problem lately. Especially, if you want at least two of them, and god forbids, it you want also some 3.5" external bay. I bought one such case new few years ago, and it's still available here, …

probably just shipping delays on the spec... but you probably won't be able to get the Vengeance C70 anymore apart from ebay that case has been EOL for a while. Yeah it's a shame, saw a C70 at a local Gigaparts store for 120.00 plus. Should've jumped on it but was just into retro stuff back then. …

I am done using cheap computer cases. They just aren’t worth it and they look cheap. Not satisfying to the mind. So I try to use only computer cases that will satisfy me. I really don’t care if it costs $200 For $200 you can get a nice quality case. ( Lian Li , or Fractal, or Cooler master ). …

Wait another month because the second stimulus package bill just passed. So you are going to receive anther $1200. Hmm, that being said tho I owed taxes this year I'll be in the clear now. Time to rework the PC budget! Leaning towards some nice white cases from Corsair/BeQuiet!/NZXT alot of which …

Due to the "we're all in this together" virus stimulus check I'm stimulated enuff to build my first "modern" pc as up to this point it's all been retro stuff. Problem is finding a case I like, seems every time I find something that might work it's out of stock or priced into the stratosphere. Couple …
Re: Pentium 133 DOS gamer dream machine.
Posted on 2020-05-08, 13:07
I'm thinking about starting a project like this as well, as my first PC was 133 pentium based back in 96. Instead of trying to piece everything together I'm leaning towards finding a complete system for sale. Really like to get the "pizza box" type of case, along with a 15" CRT to stack on top of it …

Anyone tried to get this running on Win98 with any success? Hope I got this in the right spot, kind of a gray area.

Crap. Thought for sure restoring those files it would work but msinfo32.exe still bringing up that blank screen saying some files are missing or whatever. Anyone know what other files it's dependent on that reside in other directories? I found an installer for the win95 16bit version of msinfo, but …

The driver version is 4.12.01.1222 if anyone's interested. Another game, EA Sports NCAA Football 99 also crashes but got it going with adding "v" to the command line. Guess the V3 doesn't like the sports titles from EA Sports. Can somebody recommend the drivers they're using for playing games in the …
