Argl... Lara's fat ass is back. Let me explain: I'm using my T500 in a docking station (I think the thing is called "Advanced MiniDock", it's basically a port replicator) when I'm at home. Yesterday I bought a nice Samsung LCD and connected it to the DVI port of the dock. Everything's working fine …

I'd also like to know how exactly the "fcs" and "ch" options are supposed to work. I never could get the dpad (=coolie hat) or throttle/rudder functions to work. It wasn't a big deal for me though, so I've just mapped the "throttle +" and "throttle -" keys to buttons/axes on my controller, for …

The game works fine for me on Win 7 x64. No music or sound troubles at all. Did you update the game correctly? While Googling for the problem I've stumbled across some threads with a recommended update sequence, maybe you should try updating as per the recommendations. I'm playing the GOTY version …

Agh that damned guide again which is probably no use at all here. Anyway, you could try running 4dos before starting the game. IIRC DOSBox had some problems with redirection in the past.

Ah, didn't notice the fix being about NOLF, sorry. But worth a try anyway, maybe the fix works for NOLF2 as well? My next guess would be the codec issue, but of course it's hard to tell without having the game installed. Maybe I should play these classics again, of course only for scientific …

I've played both games in Windows XP a while ago and both worked great, no sound or music troubles. Didn't try them in Vista/7 yet though. Maybe it's a codec issue like with Max Payne? There are tools to unpack files from the VFS the games are using. If you can find the music files in the VFS you …

I'd like to bump this topic as TIE Fighter is one of my favourite games, and as I've stated before one of the most "important" DOS games. I don't currently have an old PC to test the issue, so I've played around a bit with virtualizers. The game wouldn't run in my VMWare DOS install so I've fiddled …

I guess what Qbix wanted to say is: "you didn't run the game in dosbox.". You have to install and run the game in DOSBox. Read the DOSBox manual and search this thread for guides if you're unfamiliar with DOSBox.

According to your status screen DOSBox isn't detecting any controllers at all. I'm not a OS X user though, could be that the native OS X build works differently from the Windows version (which gives detailed info about the controllers it is using). Or did you maybe have the pad disconnected while …

Well it's important to understand that DOSBox is very CPU intensive. For instance, I used to have a P4/2.6 Ghz with the fastest Radeon still available for AGP. The machine played mordern-ish games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or CoD2 quite well, but wasn't able to run SVGA games smoothly in DOSBox (bar a few …
