Re: correctly burning PC games?

Posted on 2018-02-10, 02:12

Burn slower, like 2x or 4x, and keep trying other media types. Don't use cheap stuff or label them before burning. BIN/CUE format will grab the whole disc. But I think CCD, SUB, IMG are supposed to copy the whole "nature of the disc." with my new drive i wrote at automatic write speed and 8x and 4x …

I bought a plextor CD burner for exactly this purpose. Of course I needed to then buy a PCI IDE adapter, which was cheap and works fine. (It also has a SATA port with a newer controller than my motherboard that allows sata drives to be hot swapped out). But the point is I have been able to …

True. BUILD games are not real 3D and any 3dfx patch is just a bad hack. You can't turn a 2.5D game into a 3D game just by patching in 3dfx support. Play it in software mode, as that's how the game is supposed to run. Or get a modern port. i thought the 3dfx patch just made the game run better i …

the sw3dff11.zip from 98 It is the 3dfx patch for that game. It doesn't do a full 3dfx conversion like many people said. It does however allow you to utilize a voodoo 2 at 800x600 and the game does look better and play better even if it's not a massive improvement it is a improvement over the …

Have you got an AGP slot? TNT2 cards are very compatible and have good performance. Also, some versions of S3 cards (like the Virge GX) also have excellent DOS speed and compatibility. Don't forget to tweak the MTRR. https://www.philscomputerlab.com/dos-graphics-boost.html Yes there is 1 agp 3pci …

BTW with vesa 2.0 support will the water areas still drop fps severely? is there anyway to solve that? By not having butter-smooth expectations of CPU-driven software renderers that use palettes. Overdraw will always be a big dip, especially in high resolutions. There's no miracle video card that …

What graphics card or cards work the best with shadow warrior? i Anything with a Vesa 2.0 implementation. It's not that picky (except for special optimized 320x200 modes for VLB-era boards that had been left in since '94). Well i searched vesa 2.0 on ebay and the only thing that showed up was the …

Besides, losing 3dfx support in SW's not that big of a deal. It's still a technically software renderer - just annoyingly blurrier and not any faster. Its hype and impracticality keeps the 3dfx fanboys at bay out of fear of not being able to use their hardware in the late 90s. What graphics card or …

I had plenty of problems getting Shadow Warrior to run. Basically I am going to tell you is the game will not run if your CPU is like over 600mhz. Well i ran it on my voodoo 2 sli,riva tnt 2 900mhz AMD and it works, still really laggy near water.(i think the riva tnt2 is running the game though not …
