So, I been playing with PowerStrip for a while now but can't seem to get any of my custom resolutions to go into effect. I was following …

Been messing around with my ideal 98 machine. I wanted to run HDMI video out from it via the DVI port to a modern 1080p monitor. To keep things 4:3 I was thinking i'd output 1440×1080 but my 98 machine skips over that. I can do full fat 1080p but not 1440×1080. It's just not listed in display …

Anyone here try Rustoleum Smokey Beige? I've read on Reddit that it's a good match. The few times i'm in a big box store they haven't had it. Might just order it on Amazon to try out. Have a card reader i'm trying to blend into a retro build.

that's not the 2.0 patch for the game but the version for Creative Alchemy, a software to restore EAX in older game (you must have a Creative Soundblaster sound/audio card). Could ya cite some sources to back that up? Because looking at the official RE2 PC page it's clear the patch is for RE2 …
