I guess I'll have to dust off my copy of MSVS 6.0 and compile a debug version. Do you guys know the variable name of the keyboard interrupt flag? That would make things a little easier. If I end up finding a bug, who would I report it to?

I figured the keyboard interrupt was probably turning off somehow... But um, how and where do you turn on this interrupt flag? 😕

I'm pretty sure that ZDoom allows you to play existing demo recordings. I'm also pretty sure the timing is identical... Both have to have a standard timer or else the game would be unplayable on faster machines. A timer just pings the CPU's internal clock anyway, so unless there's a warping of the …

Hey, if you want "brand new and better", go play Doom 3. IMHO, in the archaeology and history business, when you take and old artifact and polish it up and clean the dirt off, that's called "restoration". If you have a collapsing 11th century cathedral and shore up its stonework and sandblast it, …

Try using NO SPACES and only 8 characters in your directory names for that game. I was wondering why a game didn't work when I moved it to another directory and that was why (getting the same parachute segmentation fault).

Ewww, but it's all 320x240 in dos mode. C'mon, don't you want to be able to use the mouse like a modern FPS? Be able to see more than 4 pixels of a monster at a time? Lookup and down (gives a different perspective on levels)? Have transparencies? Bells and whistles added to graphics? Have it run... …

Yeah, it's really baffling. Especially since the keyboard control in this game works fine in FRIGGIN WINDOWS XP of all things. At least I can play tempest 2000, WOOT! I somehow broke The Elder Scrolls Arena though. It was working fine in 0.61, till I tinkered with something, now the game doesn't …

Why don't you just install the ZDoom frontend, then install the GL ZDoom frontend on top of that? You can then get resolutions up to 1280 I think, the GL version has 3D models, and even the standard version has multiple transparencies, blood/smoke particles, and look up/down support, mouse aiming, …

Here's a better link. That other one requires regristration, and it's in Spanish. http://www.dosgamesonline.com/index.php?page= … ame=Joust%20VGA Tried this version out too. Same results. I attached it in case you're too lazy to download it 😁

This was my favorite game for the IBM PS/2 286, until the poor thing went senile a few years ago. They game *actually* runs in windows without a hitch, keyboard, graphics, and PC speaker all work like they're supposed to. Yes, you heard it, a game that has a time stamp of April 17, 2000 and runs …
