Re: What game are you playing now?

I recently fired up Skyrim (PC version) for the first time since completing it a couple of years ago and of course there’s been some advances in mods since then, so I started down that slippery slope of tweaking this-and-that. All the while the ‘Special Edition’ was at the back of my mind – was I …

Re: Fellow Vogoners, tells us a little more about yourselves!

Social wise. I really find it hard to socialise, as I need to figure out body language, the way people speak and the words they say. Combining them and figure out the puzzle. It is like a riddle every single time. A riddle that comes naturally to other people, in wich they do not have to think deep …

I am puzzled why the game slows down for you after applying the patch. I tried both versions (old and new) and they run at the same speed. Are you using real hardware (if so, which), or DOSBox (if so - what is the CPU core type and cycles?) Yes I'm using real hardware - both a 486SX33 and P166MMX. …

Yep that's the one. From memory the DRM ("word at position X of the manual") didn't match my manual, and the game was way too slow, so I didn't even bother checking for a sound fix as it would be unplayable anyway.

Yes that sounds like a workable idea but too much work for me personally, and I'd end up agonising over which OPL3 card to record it on, volume levels, etc and never be satisfied! I've been playing the CD version and am finding the "new" music to be quite acceptable. I'm also digging on the faster …

Re: Using an AWE Upgrade (Goldfinch) to emulate an MPU-401 with a non-Creative sound card

I wonder if its because the card is called an AW32, Creative mistakenly thought it was one of theirs? (kidding) :lol: Yar I'm quite reluctant to temp fate by switching in other cards at this point - I'd spent hours previously on this with other sounds cards with no luck, so although I'm confident …

Re: Using an AWE Upgrade (Goldfinch) to emulate an MPU-401 with a non-Creative sound card

This issue has never stopped bugging me but I stumbled on the solution somehow - there was no skill involved sadly and to be honest I'm not exactly sure why it worked this time after so many previous attempts. One difference was the sound card I paired the Goldfinch with - this Crystal CS4232 based …

Re: What is your favorite or must have pieces of hardware?

Yes I'm with you James-F, sound cards hold a lot of interest for me because of their variability. Although I think you're underestimating the fun you can have in finding the right graphics card for a retro build, particularly in a VLB or ISA based machine. Image quality, compatibility, speed, SVGA …
