Re: Starcraft on Mac OSX..

Posted on 2007-10-28, 17:50

You're right; both Mac and PC versions of the games are on those discs. Macs and PCs will both show the same data files, but different executables and different installers; Windows won't see the Mac installer, and MacOS won't see the Windows installer. Actually, all Blizzard games since Starcraft …

Blizzard provides an OSX-compatible installer for Starcraft which works fine on Intel Macs thanks to Rosetta. If you have a somewhat recent Battle Chest version of Starcraft, this program is already on your CDs. Otherwise, you can download it via a link on this page.

That crazy port is called AD_Link; it's apparently for plugging in Creative's external "I/O console" device. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it can in any way be adapted to a gameport. There used to be such a thing as a dedicated gameport card, but I don't know if such a thing would be available …

Re: Clue on Windows XP

It's not any of the typical Clue games; it looks like an attempt at an FMV game. I found some info on it here (fifth game on the page): http://www.cluedofan.com/cmerch/computer.html To answer your question, the game was released at the end of 1996, so it should at least be Windows 95 compatible; you …

The only thing I can tell you is that the 3Dfx version of Pod definitely works with Glide wrappers, so I know you can take it off the list.

Re: Modifying config.sys

in DOS
C:\config.sys is ignored by default; it's actually looking at "C:\windows\system32\config.nt" instead. Most likely, this file doesn't even have a BUFFERS setting, so you'll have to add one.

Re: Forum for VMWare / Virtual PC / FreeDos

in DOS
VMWare Server and Virtual Server were never intended to play games and they do so very poorly (not to mention that Virtual Server's IIS interface makes Bochs look terribly simple by comparison and restricts the program to WinXP Pro and Server '03). Qemu is probably a bit too cumbersome for an …

in DOS
VMWare and VPC have not been mentioned often here in the past because they were too expensive to be used strictly for gaming purposes; this has suddenly become a non-issue, so interest in these programs is bound to increase.

Re: SB16 Emulation with Audigy 2 + 4.1?

in DOS
Actually, VDMSound does not work in Win98; only in 2000 and XP. To be honest, I find DOSBox and/or DOS mode to be the best options for a Win98 machine; trying to get a Win98 DOS window to do anything useful is a waste of time.

Re: SB16 Emulation with Audigy 2 + 4.1?

Since your last question is the easiest, I'll answer it first: I meant that he should an audigy12.exe line (the patch program) to his autoexec.bat file after the sbinit.com line (the driver itself). For your first question, the driver under discussion is a program which runs only in real DOS and …
