It's the ONLY NOS that can network these old systems with modern ones in a seamless fashion. NCP is agnostic of the transport layer and runs over IP or IPX, or anything else. Though you've got to run NetWare 5 or newer to run NCP natively over IP and AFAIK only the windows clients supported that, …

Netware seems awfully complicated for most purposes and doesn’t interoperate with anything modern. That’s why TCP/IP won. It tolerates 8-bit machines with a serial connection or Raspberry Pi Picos bit banging on a few resistors & a couple wires, as well the latest enterprise server with a fiber …

If you're able to run a VM, you're able to run Netware in there, and that's the best way to network DOS and old Windows to modern systems I think. DDLINK differs from most other DOS "networking packages" in some very positive ways: - It doesn't have to be "installed" (just run) - It's TINY - easily …

If you're strictly talking about the artwork, I think Quest for Glory III is the pinnacle of Sierra's art style WRT to their adventure games (although I didn't care for the game itself). Albion is another stand-out in terms of backgrounds although I don't care for the appearance of the characters. I …

This probably has something to do with Epic shutting down their master servers, which seems silly. I think anybody who still plays these games have already been using community master servers for like, well, forever.

Garrett W wrote on 2022-12-21, 14:02: Win9x treats ".dll" files as hidden or system files. Yeah. I have it set to show hidden files through Windows, apparently it doesn't translate to a DOS session. DIRCMD=/a fixed this.

I'm an idiot. For some reason the opengl32.dll in the Hexen II directory was set as hidden, and I was playing with this through the CLI and didn't catch this. I don't know why this was set as such, but it was. Maybe the patch set it this way, but I don't know. Anyway, problem solved.

If jharrison can provide more information about their CM-32L claim, that'd be awesome, otherwise I'm chalking it up to a misunderstanding. It's completely possible I'm mis-remembering the specifics of this. At the time I noticed this, I had both devices on a mixer where I could switch between them, …

How does one select which OpenGL device this game uses? On a system with a G200 and a V2, it uses the V2 and I want it to use the G200. There's nothing in the video options in this game to select the card like with Quake II, etc., and there's no "mini-GL" DLL or such in the game's directory I can …

I got this nice Toshiba T2130CT for relatively cheap but it's been a real fixer upper. The battery leaked so it needed a new mainboard, the replacement mainboard was corroded in the same way so I got another new (old) mainboard. These particular laptops are so rare now that I'm glad I could save …

I know one (small) example is Quest for Glory IV. At the North side of the Mordavian village (the monastery scene), there is the gravedigger Igor carving a tombstone. His hammer strike sounds proper on a CM-32L, but on an MT-32, it's some other sound (I recall it's something like a horn or a brass …
