Re: The Need for Speed

Posted on 2004-08-21, 21:28

in DOS
if your selection icon is jumping around a lot it might be because your controller is not calibrated to the games liking. Try the game without joystick/wheel/etc plugged-in or try to get into the game setup menu and recalibrate. I had some (not very useful!) DOS NFS:SE tips as well as NFS:SE Win95 …

Re: Pod...

Posted on 2004-08-15, 23:53

WOW! Dege has a patch that gets POD running on a Pentium4 (well some versions, I got the MMX version running but the Direct3D version caused an error and my Pod Gold 3Dfx version isn't detected, but it's a great starting position, especially as his 3Dfx wrapper also now supports POD!): http://www. …

Re: Zeckensack's Glide Wrapper

Posted on 2004-08-15, 23:36

To Zeckensack: I noticed your report on Jane's blurry cockpits ( http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/ ) - perhaps this is the same issue affecting Boss Rally (in your wrapper the textures appear to be twice as low-res compared to Dege's wrapper/real Voodoo). Incidentally I can supply you with a cut-down …

Re: NV-1 Emulation

Posted on 2004-08-10, 08:56

How different were the Sega ports? I'm assuming they included Virtua Fighter Remix, Panzer Dragoon and Virtual-On (or was that an MMX exclusive title?)? Miss that high-color Panzer Dragoon. The actual release version of Panzer Dragoon ran in 640x480 in 16-bit high-color... so how did the NV-1 …

Re: Microsoft Virtual PC

Posted on 2004-07-22, 22:01

I really wish there was a Win98 emulator as some later Win9x games won't work in XP and I don't want to partition my hard drive... Examples: Pro Rally 2001 Williams F1 Team Driver Extreme-G2 Pod Gold (more a Pentium4 problem apparently) As Virtual PC only emulates low-end PC graphics cards (S3-era) …

Re: A glide wrapper for DOS programs

Posted on 2004-07-20, 21:12

Well my last contribution to this thread (I'll post findings on 1.30 in a new thread!) is to say that Dege regarding the 3games you can't find demos of: Ignition: the 3Dfx patch was an add-on to the game so you'd need to find an abandonware/second-hand copy then get the patch. It's great fun so …

Re: Rendition wrapper would be nice...

Posted on 2004-07-17, 23:45

Yeah back then everyone had their own standard. Matrox started with the Matrox Mystique hardware for 3D games. PowerVR, 3Dfx, Matrox, Rendition, 3D Blaster... all had specific standards. Sadly I went for PowerVR in my old PC then found that whilst specific PowerVR games were nice, hardly any basic …

Re: Know any useful Fix-It programs?

Posted on 2004-07-14, 18:46

in DOS
I think pretty much all slow-down utilities are useless for me as I run with hyper-threading on. Looking at the processor usage, usually the slow-down utility only holds up one process and the otehr still makes the game too fast! Ice

Rendition wrapper would be nice...

Posted on 2004-07-13, 22:17

The Rendition cards were a joint venture between Sierra and someone else I seem to recall. However, there was a Rendition version of CART Racing (aka IndyCar Racing 2) which added filtering and improved graphics to (some but not all I *think*) tracks. That'd be nice to experience! Unlikely to …

Re: PowerVR SGL Wrapper?

Posted on 2004-07-13, 22:12

Three other interesting PowerVR titles: 1. The original Ultim@te Race, which came with the first generation (no bilinear filtering) PowerVR card, had one HUGE track linking up all three of the tracks in the 3-track PowerVR version (basically 3 of the 4 circuits in Ultim@te Race Pro)! 2. Wipeout 2097 …

Re: Screamer 2 and various 3DFX .EXE-s

Posted on 2004-07-12, 23:46

in DOS
Mine's the top one and came on the Screamer 2 CD-ROM (this is the White Label budget re-release which includes all the patches (normal and 3Dfx updates)). Unfortunately all the patches have to be installed from the command line, which is a bit of a bind, but they do work now with dgVoodoo's DOS …
