Re: Name of Duke Nukem level

Posted on 2014-10-08, 13:58

in Milliways
Try looking on Youtube for gameplay videos of Duke Nukem 3D. You should see the level you mean in a walkway. Regarding add-ons, the Duke it Out in DC mission pack is great. Starship Troopers is supposed to be great, but I've not played, it. Other than that, I don't know, sorry, but you could google …

Hiren's Boot CD (invaluable for when Windows is playing up)

Posted on 2014-09-18, 15:24

in Milliways
In case anyone isn't aware of Hiren's Boot CD (which I should have listed in the Windows programs thread, come to think of it, even though it's not strictly one program nor just for Windows) I thought I'd mention it here, since I've just been using it again (it's a real life saver as far as Windows …

Re: Magazine download sites

As awesome as a list like this is...I'm pretty sure a mod is gonna shut down the thread. Well, all of the magazines I'm interested in are out of publication, it's not like we're asking for XBox One or PS4 magazines. Though yes, some of the sites do have modern magazines for download too, so if the …

Magazine download sites

Someone posted on another forum (N64 Forever) asking if they could download a magazine (N64 Pro, which I've never heard of, so it probably wasn't British), so can anyone post any links for magazine (scans) download sites, please? It's be great if a site had N64 Pro, but even if not, please list any …

Suggestions for useful programs for Windows

I was asked to recommend a couple of programs (which happens enough to make me wish I had a fiver for every time!), and I didn't know offhand either type of program, but since work is slow ATM, I've tried a few, and UK's Kalender and Free Youtube Download seem to do what was asked for. So I thought …

Is there a good guide for DN3d levels? Because when I try to play this *censored* game (version 1.3d, Come Get Some) - I always have 59 enemies killed and 2 missed in E1M1, "Hollywood Holocaust". And this thing make me mad!!! :( P.S. Wikia think there are 58 enemies on this level. Yeah, right... …

GameUX.dll might be loaded via COM so has anyone tried editing its registry key? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{9A5EA990-3034-4D6F-9128-01F3C61022BC}] I'll try that when I get home, thanks.

You can rename your game exe to get around this lazily. Sorry, I forgot to say, that's a good idea, but sadly it's not my laptop, and I don't know how competent the laptop's owner is; some of the games have mods installed, which would suggest some level of PC competency (unless someone else …

Thanks for all of the replies, I had not idea that this problem (which I've not seen before) is due to an official 'feature'. It's typical of Microsoft that (a) it screws up so badly, and (b) you can't turn it off. I'll have to spend some time on Google, as hopefully a third party (non-Microsoft …

Games need opening twice to start, please help

I have a problem with a laptop I've been asked to fix. The laptop (Windows 7, 6GB RAM, 1.6 GHZ AMD Quad-Core A8-3520M APU) has no malware, and everything (hardware and software) seems fine, except that when you first try to open (load) a game, you have to do it twice or the game does not open. I.e.: …

Re: How to put video files onto an iPad?

A friend suggested iFunbox, and it's great, and very easy to use, with none of that syncing rubbish, and it's done the job just fine. You still have to install iTunes to use iFunbox, but hopefully I'll never need to use iTunes (or touch another iPad again - my own Android tablet lets you just copy …

[I know this isn't retro/PC related, but mods please let this thread stand, as I'm trying to do the following, and since this forum has some very knowledgeable people, I'm hoping I can get some help on the matter, since I'm new to iPads and Apple in general] I've been asked to put some video files …

Is there a new official version of DOSBox planned?

Posted on 2014-05-18, 13:31

I recently installed DOSBox on a friend's laptop, and I put the SVN version on because of course it's much newer and much more advanced than the last official release (0.74). Using an SVN* version isn't a problem of course, as long as we know where to download it, but it does make me wonder why no …

What are "overbrights", please? Doubled lightmap sampling which causes light samples above full bright to appear much brighter. This can give out more volumnous appearances of light. This feature goes back to Quake v1.00 starting July 1996. It wasn't implemented in GLQuake (clamped) and Quake2's GL …

Half-Life is a great game, and also has many fantastic free addons made by fans (such as USS Darkstar, the They Hunger trilogy, Azure Sheep, etc, from www.moddb.com), and you really should play the fantastic first official addon, Opposing Force. The other official addon, Blue Shift, isn't much good …
