duke nukem 3d in the old days I would look at the duke3d.exe with xtreegold and do a search for the word cornholio. Once found I would switch to hex mode and edit the word down to just co The rest of the word I would zero out in hex.Save,then play the game.Type in dnco for god mode instead of the …

I buy tivo3 hd receivers from thrift stores cheap for the sata drives inside. The standard is 160gb but sometimes I luck out and find one that has been upgraded to 1 or 2 Tb Todays experiment is DOS 7.10 on a 2Tb drive hddguru fdisk made the partition 356.92Gb The rest I will use for win7 tivo2's …

356.92 gig I used the hddguru fdisk to partition took 40 minutes the cdu version of 7.10 ,not the one from windows.

Last week same pc but dos 7.10 on a pata drive 10gig partition 40 gig drive. Got dos on fine.Win7 starter version on the remainder which made a reserved partition and the main ntfs partition for win 7. But it put all the boot files on the c: drive so it would boot windows but ignore dos.Tried …

DOS on sata A few years ago I bought an old pc at a thrift store. I stripped it for parts but it was from the tansition era from pata to sata drives and it had a pata to sata converter board installed.I found it buried in the closet and decided to give it a try.I had to change the power connector ( …

in the archives I had tools to convert duke3d maps to redneck rampage. based on the same engine. no chance to try them yet.

I use infinity machine with it and it's a challenge to find a video card that works. I.M doesn't like agp cards;when you kick into i.m. then back to the game screen-it is blank.

seagate ST351A/X 40 MEG hardrive,my 1st ide hardrive. It had a jumper for AT/XT use,the 8 bit controller is long gone. The controller itself cost $40 back then, 2x the price of a 16bit controller. It was like 5 hours pay. DOS 5.0 and windows 1.03 ! which crashes too fast to see the error message on …

It fought me more than the usual way. The suckin grits on rte 66 wouldn't run on the hardrive. All the other versions ran fine.It would lock up on the 1st loading level screen. When it did run it would kick into the original level menu instead of the rte 66. The funny part is,it would run off the cd …

cmi8738lx and ess1938s based pci sound cards I got to work in DOS,but they are only 8-bit drivers. So for games like redneck rampage they were useless. SB pci 128 was interesting,I had drivers for the pci64v that work and even tho the .ini file only shows 8-bit settings it worked 16bit

Digging up the Redneck Rampage files in my archives to try again on a newer machine triggered a memory of the 1st time I had the shareware version. It came out after Duke Nukem 3D so I was aware of the .grp file sizes. The .grp seemed bloated for a crippled shareware version. On a hunch I had a …

Put a dvd r/w drive in my dell dimension 4100 multi-boot system and noticed the actcd.sys showed during boot it was a cd/dvd driver in dos.Just for laughs I stuck a dvd with my stored dos games on it and I was able to read the dvd with xtreegold.The driver has been around since 1998,so nothing new.I …

fixed a 25 year old floppy with diskfix and was able to copy an old shareware wolf3d to the hardrive. It was from back when you could edit and add your own gifs to the shareware version ,so it was all new levels with adult pictures as the wallpaper.(original author unknown) Also got my infinity …

you don't have to use the ouija board to name the saved games,you can use the pc keyboard. much faster.

The DOS version of the seventh guest saved games are 291 bytes bigger than the win95 version,1315 vs 1024 and I couldn't find any saved games on the net for DOS. I had to make my own attic level save game with a hex editor,I saw the pattern of ascii 1's and tried that 1st then the H's.You have to …
