I have GOG version of Martian Dreams and Savage Empire . Naturally, those GOG games come with their own DOSBOX. However, GOG DOSBOX seems to be unable to scale up the game to full screen resolution when using OpenGL, as shown below. https://i.postimg.cc/htZp96gW/Martian-Dreams-GOG-DOSBOX.jpg GOG …

I have not played any Ultima before, not sure if I would need to play all the ones beforehand. About... ah, eighteen years ago, I had your ambition. Then I started playing Akalabeth (Ultima 0), then my character kept dying from hunger, then I threw my hands up with frustration, then I gave up. How …

I have never been a CPU overclocker, ever. In fact, my PC building philosophy is always "the slowest CPU possible with the fastest GPU possible" to minimize problems with speed-sensitive games. After all, even a lowly Celeron is enough to do most office works. However, lately I've been interested to …

Well than god for us dinosaurs, where games were in floppies and CDs and so on, now we have archive.org and other preserving stuff, so we are more or less set. Archive.org is sued, though. Isn't it obvious that gaming industry doesn't want competition with older games? If more and more people moved …

It's a shame that Lucas Arts made CD-ROM audio mandatory for CD-ROM versions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter. DOS CD-ROM versions ran at 640x480 (high-res!), and Windows 95 added better models, shaded surfaces and hardware acceleration to the game. A version that had the graphics of Windows 95 and the …

I am actually looking for similar moddings. The Collector's CD ROM version of both X-Wing and TIE Fighter runs on Windows 9x, has texture mapped graphics (which I like so much), but replaces the game's dynamic MIDI music with looping Red Book audio recordings of the Star Wars score. :dead: Is there …

Motherboard market is probably nearly 100% Realtek or Realtek + ESS these days . I was thinking more about pro audio, higher end consumer DACs, AV receivers, possibly cameras . AFAICR, my 20+ year old VS-880EX and DPS12 both use AKM converters as does a lot of newer semi pro and higher audio …

My stepdaughter Shafa has always been an avid mobile gamer. I have tried to convert her to PC gaming since I married her mother, but I haven't been very successful --she always prefers watching me play rather than playing the PC games herself.

Wow. I don't know anything about that game, but that box does nothing to make me care. In fact I had to stare at it for a bit to even figure out what game it was. Hard to read, indeed. It's also interesting to note that Zone Raiders has more interesting, more gameplay-relevant cover art, despite …

It's a good thing that all employees were safely evacuated during the fire. The potential scarcity of high end DAC doesn't concern me though. Unless my speakers are JBL Everest or Yamaha NS-2000s, I see no point of using megabuck DAC with its own master clock and what-have-you. Yes, JBL titanium …
