Re: Midnight Outlaw Six Hours To Sun Up

Posted on 2020-02-15, 12:25

Play this game with any virtual videocard other than the default internal and it renders fine. The reason is that if all types of vertex elements are reported as supported (like with the internal card) then the game drives D3D9 improperly for some reason. Oh, sorry, my mistake. I guess since it was …

Re: Half-Life WON 1.0.1.6 Pause Menu Issue

Last time I tried Xash3D it had an annoying audio stutter in loading screens and UI elements were flickering (I think it's because of a Nvidia bug that also seems to affect Cave Story+). It has had plenty of updates since then, but I think it was like half a year ago and left the impression that …

But is there a way to make Dosbox or any other Dos emulator more like a one click console emulator? It's useful to make a GUI for settings. Today people are not addopted to text files and command lines. Also with "Run the game" dialog. When it recongnizes the known game (by the filenames) - it …

There are windows compatibility modes you can set for those games, you don't need to change the global DPI setting (which tends to move/resize windows, which is annoying). It's very common. Not really "problematic", unless you the problematic games list to include most games. GZDoom doesn't need it …

You were just complaining about kids and their damn phones and now you're posting full size gifs as replies to conversations. You should decide if you want to sound like a 15 year old or a 75 year old. https://1389blog.com/pix/clapping-emoticon-medium-size.gif I'm sorry, I hope this is small enough …

I understood you well, my take is that people who are unfamiliar will still have the hurdle of "there is a bunch of files what do I do with them?" "open an exe? there are three of them" "there is no exe!" (com) "it doesn't work!" (because it needs to be started from a batch file which sets up …

That doesn't sound very helpful either (except for the "drop exe here" screen). I wonder if you understood what I meant, because if you did it would be interesting to me what you think the difference in helpfulness is. I meant in one scenario when you open DOSBox it basically pops up a dialog …

Jeff Gordon XS Racing? Yes that's the one! Thanks so much man. I wonder if you know the other racing game I posted about here https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=71875 Not really, I know nothing about car racing games. I googled "car game pepsi". I'd just Google all the games in this list …

@ZellSF: Go get yourself a frontend then. DOSBox should always give you a command prompt like in the old days. Why? There's no reasoning here. I have to admit that I do not care about the “smartphone generation” simply because they walk around like zombies with their faces stuck to the phone. It’s …

Well, I firmly believe that anyone using DOSBox should get the full retro experience how it was. If the "smartphone generation" can't cope with it, give them a frontend for that. That's it. The stock DOSBox experience should be kept as is, because it's what we were used to do in the past. If you …

I didn't say it does not need to be improved, but I do believe it can be. And should be. But it does not need to be "dumbed down" for the "smartphone generation". This is vague nonsense. The user interface should be as simple as it can be, without compromising functionality. If that gets the " …

I am not even talking about GUI. How about starting with simple things, like making output=opengl the default instead of surface. output=opengl aspect=true fullresolution=desktop windowresolution=(insert random 4:3 resolution here) Would be better defaults I agree, but it would only fix aspect …

Doom is a rather special case for DOSBox since it runs at 35fps which doesn't display properly on 60hz monitors. Just one more reason one should look into source ports that run the game at 60fps. That's not a very special case at all, 70hz isn't uncommon. Such user might not know what OpenGl is, …
