Re: Stargunner on Windows XP

in DOS
Originally posted by neemo Even though I use VDMSound 2.0.4 Update 1, Stargunner 1.1a is unresponsive and the sound doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? Unfortunately, Stargunner absolutely "Hates NT". It's DOA on XP. http://www.vogons.org/showthread.php?threadid=1041 …

Re: Age of Rifles once more...

in DOS
Originally posted by Cronos Oh, there is software that can test your video card and tell you exactly what video modes are supported. Actually, he did that earlier with VBETEST. His card supports VESA quite well, just not when running XP. Well, in that case, only thing you can do is installing …

Re: Duke Nukem 3D Source Code

Originally posted by Col.J.P. Why do you think there's not even a single working port for none of the Build Engine games? Like 3803 said, the source code was only released a couple of weeks ago. The "BUILD" source that was on Ken Silverman's site is the pre-Duke version. Could make a nice …

Re: Hello, im new here and need some help

in DOS
Originally posted by d2king10 Im using Soundfx, and from the few minuetes of playing, it sounds great. Remember that SoundFX is more of a wrapper than an audio emulator. Since it's getting audio out and VDMSound isn't, I'm highly suspicous that you've got some software that's allowing direct …

Re: Ultima 8 Pagan

Originally posted by Unregistered sorry it's me again about ultima. Ok, if you've read any of the previous posts, you know that there's a project to make a port for Ultima 8 here: http://pentagram.sf.net But it's nowhere near a playable state right now. my processor is duron 700mhz, 384mb ram, …

Re: Latest progress

Originally posted by jez ... I found out that running Tyrian 2000 from Win98 doesn't cause the music slowdown (ruination) that you get with Windows XP. Great! Must be something to do with DOS not needing to be emulated. Yes, Tyrian2000 "hates NT". Even if you configure it to use no audio at all, …

Re: win 98se is good??

Originally posted by Unregistered andrea u tell me that i have to use a win95b OS version but i haven't the installation CD. win 98se would be a good OS?? Yes, it should be fine. Probably better, especially if you have AGP video. ...why the sound setup of a lot of games running in dos 6.0 if i set …

Re: hardware and testing details

Originally posted by Unregistered OS: DOS 6.0 (not from boot disk!!) hardware: c-media 8738 sound card, i have found and installed the dos drivers and a attached patch to resolve some pci audio problems. *ack* Andrea, you really are killing me. First off, 8738 DOS audio support is terrible. I know, …

Re: The Incredible Machine

Originally posted by chris97b DosBox? As in the 386 or earlier PC emulator. Unregistered has already given the link. Be sure and read the README that comes with it. And don't try any 486 or Pentium games or any "protected mode" games on it. BTW, there was a version of the same game for win 3.1 with …

Re: Doom instructions?

Originally posted by DosFreak The CWS extender in DOS Quake is incompatible with NT. Ok, well it always locked up the moment it tried to detect the sound card so I just presumed that was it and never tested further. Saves me the bother of trying it again. Originally posted by HunterZ Nicht, WTF? …

Re: Just a suggestion

Originally posted by Glidos Yes: I'll cry if somebody deletes this thread. *evil mouse cursor hovers over "Thread Options" button* Originally posted by DosFreak EXACTLY and it's about damn time that Microsoft is heading in that direction instead of haxoring in half-assed VDM support into their OS's …

Re: Question (corrupt file)

Originally posted by DosFreak It's possible but not likely, it works maybe 1 out of every 10 times in my experience. I'll ditto what DosFreak said. Give it a try, but a re-install is likely to be needed. If so, you should seriously consider setting up a dual-boot. With a fresh install, it's pretty …

Re: Hello, im new here and need some help

in DOS
Originally posted by d2king10 yes, i have the patch installed and im not using VDMsound because when i try to use it i always get these errors. Are you referring to the rather huge (43 Meg) dagnt5x.zip patch as mentioned here?

Re: Sidewinder/RockNES

Originally posted by Unregistered I've been using RockNES Dos and am having trouble using a sidewinder joystick. I'm afraid I'm of no help on the stick issue as I have no stick hooked up to my PC and know almost nothing about Vlad's gameport emulation. However, I do recommend switching to the …

Re: Memory issues (I think)

Originally posted by DosFreak USNF doesn't work in NT. I should have known. Couldn't find any info about it, apparently everyone who had it switched to NF'97 when it came out. Apparently someone yanked down all the NF demos sometime back as I couldn't find any (found plenty of ATF demos, though …

Re: Memory issues (I think)

Originally posted by Unregistered I am trying to run an old game (US Navy Fighters) and when I run with VDMS, I get the following message: Abnormal program termination: Memory protection fault CS:EIP = 01EFh:00007860h Ooo...nasty. Any chance you'd like to switch to "Navy Fighters '97"? Seriously, …

Re: Interresting... I-war Defiance

Originally posted by Schadenfreude Supports Glide? Use Glidos or OpenGlide No GliDOS, it's a Windows title. Supports Direct3D? No. Supports OpenGL? No. It's Winglide only. Unless, of course, everyone made the same mistake as Final Fantasy 7 and just presumed it was WinGlide when it was really D3D. …
