Re: S3d wrappers

Posted on 2025-05-16, 13:35

I now can successfully run DDerby1 in win10 with fixed exes, fixed ayapi, latest s3d2sw wrapper and latest dgvoodoo2. However what do you mean with "exception handling"? My game is prone to random crashes to desktop here and there.

I'm a retroware collector and I have recently bought a peculiar version of Summer Olympiad that supports 8 colors cga! However I don't own a real Amstrad machine (just a random dos retromachine) and Amstrad 1512 emulation out there is -meh-... I'm a curious bastard so I'm looking for anybody with a …

Something really wrong happened here (beta 1 and 2) This popup with and without dxwrapper. If I enable win95 compatibility and I run DD-NODIAMONDCARD.EXE nothing happens. I'm on win10 x64, Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, 8gb ram.

It has to be "Compedia protection". Kfx/Gw (as suggested) or use Teledisk 1.26 under real dos: I have other floppies with the same protection and it worked!

Exactly, since the QuickTime used (or macromedia director, I don't remember) is not compatible with post-XP OSes, there isn't really much you can do.

The first three games of the Uncle Albert saga (original french title: Oncle Ernest) are well known PITAs in their restrict circle of aficionados. No way to use them on anything newer than XP, excluding VMs. There's a slight hope to see them supported on ScummVM soon or later (later, probably).

Anyone, other than me, with a m559 mobo or similar noticed weird behavior of the internal floppy disk controller? I have installed msdos 6.20 and two 1.44mb 3.5 floppy drives. A lot of classic floppy disk tools do not work, like teledisk, copyiipc, imagedisk... various errors like "drive not ready" …

I was recently messing with Golden Axe and an old retropc. I first tried a lame taiwanese vga card: screen stuttering and tearing in Goldenaxe and Prehistorik2 (map and game difficulty selection). I then put inside a S3 virge dx and the scrolling became fluid and the tearing disappeared. I wonder if …

Hi men, I've recently managed to get these rare animals in my collection: the first Uncle Albert trilogy by Emme / Lexis Numérique. It installs correctly but when you run game exe (chapp.exe), it does nothing. The game uses quicktime, macromedia director or something like that. A tool like OTVDM …

The game only plays intro song on old tandy hardware and if it detects an adlib card (source: game manual). But I'd like to test the cm8330 opl, is it possible to fool the game and make it play the song on such hardware?
