These are linker errors. This suggests that some libraries or library search paths are missing in the linker's settings. Are the symbols it complains about defined in the D1X project itself or in one of the external dependencies? From what I can tell, the variables are defined within the project ( …

Apologies for bumping this, but I'm trying to compile the DOS version of D1X and there's a problem I cannot figure out how to solve. First off, I need to note that the code from the GitHub repo seems no longer suitable for use with DJGPP 2.x, presumably because of the changes which were made to the …

I've worked through the archived pages of the DIV Arena website, which is unfortunately not preserved in its entirety, and identified remakes with working downloads. I'm also including DIV-based games from other (not very numerous) sources here as well. Some of these are incomplete and/or only …

Ah, I see. I've settled for the GCC 2.7 build so far, been playing it for a bit and it seems to work fine.

I'm not sure if this has already been reported, but I've just tried the latest version in DOSBox with Doom shareware v1.9, and the first demo desyncs after less than 30 seconds. I've run FDOOM.EXE and FDOOMVBD.EXE + S3 VBE/Core 2.0. I'm capping DOSBox cycles at 47810 and also tried the -capped and - …

Looking for a Finnish 90's shareware game Euro Racer . I found a mention about it on http://www.kolumbus.fi/helena.muttonen/pelit.htm but download link "euro11.zip" is dead. I looked up that site you've mentioned, and found another interesting (but possibly lost) game: Dynaguy Type: Freeware (?) …

Around 96-98 there was this site called download.net and it had a section mainly focused on PC remakes of arcade games. This would probably be a lot of leads. Thanks a lot for the tip, I'll check this out ASAP! I wonder how I never came across this site before, I've been on a lookout for downloads …

I keep running into an odd bug I cannot quite pin down. When I build MBF with GCC 4.7, it keeps corrupting certain key bindings when I load custom PWADs, specifically the REKKR total conversion . Namely, the minus key stops working altogether, because the game sets key_zoomout and key_map_zoomout to …

Setup.exe is part of the full build of Allegro game library from the source. It gets build automatically when you build Allegro with all options enabled. It embeds setup.dat inside the setup.exe binary. You have to edit the contents of setup.dat with the Allegro grabber or dat tool, so that it …

Back in 2015, I compiled an MBF-based binary for HacX 1.2 . It features only minor changes in the actual code, but it also includes a new Allegro SETUP.EXE with the title screen art from HacX as the background instead of the Doom art which is used in the MBF 2.04 SETUP version. I decided to revisit …

A few years ago I was also looking for a good MSPaint alternative, but found nothing that would be as close to it as I'd like. mtPaint, mentioned above, is a nice tool for working with indexed images, but it has a lot of non-standard controls which I never got used to, and on the whole I would not …
