That's by design. DOSBox uses a special scaler for doubleheight 'tweaked/Mode X' modes. A workaround is to use the Direct3D patch and a pixel shader as the scaler, main reaosn why I haven't bothered trying the new Dosbox-X since I only use DB in D3D with a shader these days 🙁

No problem 😀 Even in mouselooking source ports like Zdoom I still play it with only the arrow keys 🤣

Yeah, mislabeling with GPL illegally is much akin to hexediting copyrighted games to say PUBLIC DOMAIN in the 80's so it's warez that's spread from no guilt and a lack of awareness, unfortunately getting it more mass-distributed lumped in with genuine public domain/GPL software. The only DOS 7.1 I …

I also use virtual machines for running certain DOS compilers where DOSBox can't really support due to the LFN requirement.

Battlespire's music is CD audio. Mount your CD-ROM drive with the CD in it for it to work.

Doom had default , . for dedicated strafe keys yes. Much easier to play Doom that way.

edit id1/autoexec.cfg , add +mlook , done, no sourceport needed. generally players don't use strafe modifiers, that's a Wolf3D holdover. Dedicated strafe Left/Right keys FTW

the Q3 PS2 port is full detail and 60fps, also supports widescreen so :) Even the KYRO II has shortcomings that wouldn't make much difference to the Dreamcast. and I do remember a very character driven marketing blitz for DC around launch. PS2/PS3 on the other hand was too dadaist for that, but …

The Dreamcast/Naomi/etc systems owe a lot of performance to the crazy SH-4 assembly though. PowerVR CLX2 itself is quite weak IMO. A 3dfx Dreamcast would've just been as awesome, or maybe more capable since it's not held back by tile refresh techniques, could've had a longer life that way since …

Win8 introduced a lot of regressions that hamper playability though, it's beyond just the 'emperor's new clothes' and has little about 'wow you guys should die for not accepting change'. Like for example, Gamemaker games crashing if they play more than 4 samples at once. The games themselves that …

I love C 😀 could care less about C++ though new 'easy high-level' languages like Java, Ruby, Python, .net C# etc. i'm not too thrilled about. The overhead is nasty DISCLAIMER: Former BASIC 'programmer' *cough*was one of those kids that retyped numbered lines from 'make games!!!' books*cough*

That's more of a preview. Rage128 had a 1999 launch and should be competent enough to run GLQuake at a very smooth framerate. It's one of the cards I test OA on and I get 40-70fps at most areas and that's a much higher poly and very asset inefficient game. And yes, 3dfx's rise is something that …
