In fairness, I don't even have FC installed atm (I can't find the damn DVD). But I would have W7x64 with an ati 5770 for testings Anyway service packs shouldn't really affect compatibility. They just throw in more features and fixes bug here and there (and newer drivers might need it)

Well, first of all you'll need hardware DS3D if you really want at least basic surround. Given that you have no specific hardware check my post Besides, I would buy a Xonar DG (3$ cheaper) all the time rather than that crappy software (or an U3 if you have space constraints) Surround sound has taken …

Hi there! It was the only two drivers I could get from the Nvidia site. 307.83 it gave me when looking for GeForce 6 (2013). 175.19 it gave me for GeForce FX (2008). They should really do a decent driver archive. I use Windows XP SP2 on my retro PC. My main PC has Windows 8.1 64 bit :) I kind of " …

I am not sure if it is a smart idea to leave the attachment on the board. Some virusscanner url checkers actively block sites that have files with virus infections. (so users with that virusscanner can't access the board) Now it should be better. I removed the blatantly infected file. Hopefully …

When I tried A3D on my Vortex2 it sounded incredibly muffled and horrible in Uplink. Though I've read they made some changes to it in a later patch. A3D on Live! is just a software emulation of 1.x AFAIK which a lot of sound cards have. The game uses 2.0 though so in theory an Aureal card should be …

What's with the virus alert warning for the activator? Indeed, Microsoft Security Essentials finds this: va.png And it's right indeed. One of the included tools was affected by Win32/Induc.A infection. If you had read my previous post (or the included readme) you would be already aware of the issue …

There seems to be so much chaos when it's time of audio stuff. First, directsound wasn't removed in windows vista. Just the Hardware Abstraction Layer was scraped, in favor of a pure software renderer. Creative, in all its goodness, always pushed for hardware offloading to access EAX extensions, …

http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/28-creative-alchemy-universal/ Ye, its working, thx. But this hacked version is old. Any updates? Or place where i should look for it? Nope, Creative sued daniel_k and that was the latest released version, even though nowadays there are plenty of methods …

I heard they skipped windows 9 because there are a lot of old programs out there that just check the version string for 'Windows 9' and assume its either 95 or 98. Eplained further here: https://www.reddit.com/r/geek/comments/2i0g19/microsoft_dev_explaining_why_its_windows_10_and/ I thought …

Between 175.19 and 307.83 drivers there had to be a TONS of others drivers you may want to try for improved performance or fixed bugs (and understanging the release where everything broke may be helpful) Though, I think 307.83 may simply do not work.. because you are still sticking with XP SP2.. why …

I remember I had read Windows Me should be better with threading. Not that it should support more than a CPU... though it may be worth to give it a try

May this help?

You owned him. How could you figure out that? In fairness, it was me that was looking for dat patch since early january of this year. I'm moderator there anyway, please to meet you. REALLY hats off. Congratulations. And if you'd like a -hopefully!- more stable file hoster.. well, that's it

You mean like PCGamingWiki ? I'd think he means like that, but with a more complete complement of DOS games and their DOSBox issues. With only 763 entries and only 16 DOS titles, it provides fairly shallow coverage of PC gaming. There are many thousands just of DOS games. We have just crossed 3000 …
