I tried the game now and there's not a solution, skipping the error isn't possible since it isn't an excepton. Reading Silanda's comment I come to understand that the game tries to look for a MIDI volume mixer, which was present in Windows but non-functional in games since Windows Vista when every …

I was thinking here, mainly with winevdm for 16 bit it would be possible to make it work with the 3dfx upgrades and GBL? Was there a 3dfx upgrade for Windows Mechwarrior 2? I remember Titanium Edition has Glide support and it works fine too with my fix. But I don't know if there's a upgrade for the …

I searched for the game's issues on Coolsoft website and it seems they assumed the issue would be fixed in the new update, but it wasn't. I uninstalled MidiSynth for this same reason. I should try if the game runs into some exception error and if they can be skipped...

I think they mean F and then R. Sorry I have no gpu in my Win98 PC at the moment, I would have checked that out otherwise. The combinations Sounds awkward I know. I did not know that you could press all modifiers at once on a Keyboard matrix. I tried Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F+R but it didn't work. Where did …

I download the original CD from somewhere or rarely get it from a friend. In this way I get clean stock game. And now I may also install it on 9X if I want. Technically, that's still piracy. Maybe someday GOG will finally include original ISOs as bonus goodies. Well I remember they used to with …

My take on GOG games: PROs : DRM free, which is especially nice for games which originally shipped with rootkit crap like StarForce Standalone offline installers. These make it very easy to transfer games to an offline WinXP retro rig DOS GOG games can be installed on a modern system (via included …

Game is from 2001. The game should be using D3D7 or D3D8. In both cases you will need something such as DxWnd or dgVoodoo2. As another member suggested here, for DDraw (if it is DX7) to work, you will need to hex edit it if you use dgVoodoo2 or any proxy wrapper.

Steam and GOG didn't make me a digital game collector addict, but Epic Games did. At least I have a new game/games every 7 days.

Here are the crazy FPS readout for RCX as of tonight on Windows 11 with my current GPU -MSI (AMD) Radeon RX580 Armor OC-. Any tougths on this? Are you asking to lower your FPS? For that you'll need to use Vsync, either from the game or from your driver panel. Alternatively, DxWnd or MSI Afterburner …

i'd think Monster Truck Madness and Hellbender (Oct '96) which would be for DirectX 3. A little later on the early third-party D3D game side is Die Hard Trilogy (Jan '97) I looked into Monster Truck Madness and it's D3DRM.DLL and D3DIM.DLL has product version of 4.3.0.1096.

I am not sure which control panle you are reffering too. Windows control panel. There should be two entries of Prince of Persia, one for the game installation and another for the sdb file installed.

Of course there are Vogons ranks, depending on the number of posts that everyone has. Most people still are Newbies here, with the least being l33t+. What's the highest rank possible here, and is there a race for it? I see DosFreak has the most posts currently with appiah4 having the most posts/day …
