I didn't know they did free shipping internationally. I'll keep it in mind for future tinkering, after all Jaycar are useless and don't stock connectors like them. I ended up finding some old cable that has the connector on it so I'll use that. I have bigger problems now though. The damn thing went …

Why have I ended up with the most obscure PS/2 header connectors ever made :evil: At least for the moment I've solved the keyboard problem. I'll order the adapters I need off Ebay. I'll see if I can convert the PS/2 backplate from the DOS machine to work in the 98 machine. For that I'll have to find …

Does any one know if a 5-pin DIN MIDI cable will work as an AT keyboard extension cable? http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/5-pin-din-cable-audio-and-midi-15m-web-only-l55ba I'd need to use something like that in order to plug in an adapter. Unless you can get male adapters, but I've only seen things like …

I have two older PC's I want to set up on a permanent basis to be used for old DOS and later Windows 95/98 games that won't work on my modern machine. The problem I have is that to save space I want them to go through a KVM so I only need one monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The KVM isn't really the …

15,000 cycles seems to work for the video in both 3 and 4, and 25,000 for the game. Max has smooth gameplay, but stuttering video. There is always the Windows patches for the full versions, or failing that I could drag out my old DOS machine.

Fifth time with the demo was lucky. It works when run from the WC4DEMO directory. That should have been a no brainer because when you run it from any other directory it installs files into WC4DEMO. Stupid me! This and also 3 seems to have issues with cycles though. Too many and the movies stutter, …

Unfortunately that didn't work. I still receive the allocating 0 bytes of memory crash and the game refuses to load. On the plus side, I did manage to get 3 working. I wonder what's wrong with 4 though. I really want to track down a copy of the full version, but if I can't even get the demo working …

You must have a much better config file than me because I changed ems to false and I still get the allocating 0 bytes of memory crash.

Yeah I've had no luck either doing various things. I tried installing from different folders and drives, but I can't get it to go. The Wing Commander 3 demo downloaded from the same place doesn't work either. It starts out promising, giving you the machine speed test with the spinning ship, but then …

I downloaded the demo from http://www.wcnews.com/files.shtml#wc4 I'll try that demo post and see if I also get the same error. EDIT: Still the same. Running WC4.exe from the second demo I downloaded comes up with this: Running WC4DEMO... Loading Wing Commander IV. System RAM checks out OK. Parsing …

I just downloaded the demo of Wing Commander IV to try and see how well it would run, but after running the wc4demo.exe and saving the configuration, the game fails to run. I get the following message. Running WC4DEMO... Loading Wing Commander IV. System RAM checks out OK. Parsing command line. …
