Re: Pool of Radiance keyboard issue

Posted on 2021-11-05, 18:24

This is fascinating, I checked the GOG version I also have, and it self reports as 1.3. My guess is it's a bug in the software version? I wouldn't put it past SSI to forget to bounds check menus, and leave you wondering off into unchecked memory. Like you, I can't find anything that can patch up …

Re: Legacy NVIDIA drivers

Posted on 2021-11-05, 03:12

How legacy we talking? Phil's Computer Lab has a ton of drivers going pretty far back. Donno how he found them, but I'm glad he did. Most complete and easy to acquire collection I've found anywhere. I've actually been having a really hard time finding Riva 128 driver packages lately. Seems you are …

I refuse to play any Blizzard games infested with DRM until it comes off. They all suck after Starcraft 1 anyway and the shitshow with their game re-releases is ridiculous. That's not even counting what's going on in the news right now with them. I refuse to install Battle.net on my computers …

You know, I actually prefer Diablo to Diablo 2 and all the successors. My recollection of it's history is that it was essentially a lighter version of Rogue, including being turn based and all. Then they switched to real time, and added multiplayer. Personally, I greatly prefer the single player …

Well, I finally wrapped up my playthrough of Blood II: The Chosen. Trophy! 20211026_Blood_II_b.jpg You know, I have a marginally distinct memory of playing the demo when it was released on or near Halloween night, 1998. I remember begging my dad to get me one of those new Riva TNTs, since my Riva …

Over the halfway mark in Blood 2: The Chosen. It's long since stopped tickling my inner adolescent 90's edge lord, although it sometimes has it's moments. Often in the descriptions of the levels during the transition screens. I marginally regret dropping the difficulty down, because easy is just …

You know, I guess starting on the more humble end, your usual suped up Win98 PIII machine. Starting in 1994 is really a saving grace, because I'm pretty sure there isn't a ton from 1994 onward that is speed sensitive? Although going through a list on the Vogons wiki there are more than I thought …

Re: MS-DOS 7 vs 6 - Are there incompatibilities to know about?

Posted on 2021-10-19, 12:18

in DOS
I think there are a bunch of programs missing from 7 by default? Maybe memory management stuff? HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE are included on a normal Windows 9x installation. Some of the missing programs can be grabbed from the OLDMSDOS directory from the Windows CD. DOS7 is not intended to be a stand- …

So I've been playing Blood 2 more. I'm just running it on a relatively balls to the wall Athlon 64 rig. I was playing it on the default difficulty setting, but it was just too much for me. It was just too frustrating having enemies instantly mortally wound me from hiding placing every step I take in …

Re: IDE to SD card question

in DOS
Yes, putting the cards on the modern PC is a very popular and common way of transferring files to the old PC. Unless you have DDO software installed on the card it just works, you don't need to do anything more. You'll be able to see/access only the first partition though, as windows don't allow …

Re: USB KM (= KVM without the V part) switches - suggestions wanted for a quality model

Posted on 2021-10-07, 18:41

I gave up trying to find good USB/HDMI/Display port KVMs. All the handshaking those protocols have to do just make a good KVM impossible to find. And even if it "works" the experience is not what you were expecting. No matter what the PC, I try to just stick with a PS/2, VGA and 3.5mm audio jack KVM …

Re: Asus TUSL2-C build initially posts with keyboard error, then no video with repeating beep code

I see that motherboard has a jumper that changes the voltage supplied to the DRAM, chipset, AGP and PCI. It's 4 pins in a row, and has 3 positions. The middle position is listed as the default in the manual, is 3.40 V, and they strongly recommend you not change it. What is yours set at? The jumpers …
