Greetings. I've been playing around with the original CD version of Tomb Raider on the trial version of Glidos 1.53b. I've installed the Extra Texture Pack by JC, enabled the missing music addon, and added the Enhanced 1.2 Fmv Pack. I'm happy with Glidos and almost everything is working fine, but …

Thank you for this BASSMIDI driver! I've been playing with it for a while using the GS sound set (16 bit) that rfnagel recommended and I must say it is fantastic! Way better than using the same soundfont on my X-fi Titanium or the Roland Virtual Sound Canvas software. I've been comparing various SC- …

You can also download Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit from Microsoft and create an application fix that includes SingleProcAffinity. Then install that fix in its database and then it becomes permanent until fix uninstallation. That toolkit is really nifty, and includes lots of additional …

Here are the official Panasonic CR-563 CD-Rom drivers. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/Drivers/OEM-CDROM/ Try 56X_DOS.EXE or this one. One of them should do it, I think. You should also consider SBCD.SYS. If others report it to work, it must work.

I remember having problems with Need for Speed SE on Windows 98 SE back in the old days. The only way I could make it work was to freshly install Windows 98 SE and not update DirectX. If I updated DirectX I was getting the same illegal exception as you.

That is a known problem with Creature Shock running on faster PCs. Instead of starting it in Dosbox using max cycles, limit them to around 40000 by typing "cycles fixed 40000" in the command prompt, without the quotes, and it should work okay.

As much as I expected this game to be good, I have to agree with you. I am utterly confused by those reviewers calling it the "RPG of the decade" and painting it with 9.5 scores. In addition to what you have mentioned, I also noticed a really slow start. It was so boring in the beginning that I lost …
