Re: Mechwarrior 2 Titanium Trilogy

Sorry to bump, but this page comes in REALLY handy for all things MW2: http://www.geocities.com/k_lupinsky/ I believe that the Titanium Trilogy is based on a modified variant of the MW2: Mercs 1.1 engine, which likely means that it will ONLY run on Win9x, and that you're bound to encounter a few …

Re: Recommendations for my legacy PC

Remember you're building a retro-rig. We don't need AGP or USB. Get a Voodoo2 12MB PCI. You can use your onboard video with that since Voodoo2's use a pass-thru cable. You hook your monitor to the Voodoo2 and then a small cable goes from the Voodoo2's other VGA port to the VGA out of your mobo. You …

Re: Recommendations for my legacy PC

You'd need a regular 2D video card in order to have a Voodoo2, since they had no 2D blit modes or any 2D support at all. Your onboard video probably doesn't have a sync header, so you'd need to actually replace *2* cards for a Voodoo2. Too bad a Voodoo3, like swaaye pointed out, may not run some of …

Re: Recommendations for my legacy PC

You need a Voodoo card in there so you can run some of those games in Glide mode. Maybe a Voodoo2. Voodoo3 would be best but I don't know how many old glide games would run correctly. Which Voodoo card is best? I'm wary of their lack of any T&L whatsoever, but hey, this is a LEGACY gaming machine …

Re: Getting Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries(3dfx Edition)to run

in DOS
Still haven't really found anything helpful-I know I can RUN it, but I don't want it crashing on me while looking like ass! However, abut the DX incompatibilities-is it a missing-file thing, or is it something in a file that I'll have to replace & risk screwing up DirectX? Maybe I'll have to do some …

Re: Getting Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries(3dfx Edition)to run

in DOS
Okay, something's not right. In my manual, it says that in the 3dfx Edition, these options are ALWAYS ON: Object textures Terrain textures Display detail Object density The funny thing is, I can CONFIGURE those options. Also, when looking in the Windows installation's registry, it tells me something …

Re: Getting Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries(3dfx Edition)to run

in DOS
Okay, these things cause the game to crash: -Turning textmaps on or setting Detail to High(the 1st 3 setttings) -Firing certain weapons(MGs confirmed, PPCs suspected, small lasers & missiles work fine) -'Mechs taking damage(you or them, it won't matter) Sucks that I have all these problems on a rig …
