gulizoka, btw, does your dosbox build work with other glide wrappers, besides dgvoodoo? I'd like to try other wrappers too. 😀

I can see it does support internet, but it only mentions win95. So I assume there's no support for win98, right?

Again, excuse my now stupid noobishness, but I would really like to try this glide enabled dosbox to play glide-compatible games. Do I need to have a voodoo card to try the games on this dosbox version?

Excuse my noobishness please, but so does hal9000's dosbox allow true internet on dosbox? And if it does, can win98 internet work on it?

Nowadays they probably would get sued. sure, that must be right since nowadays all games are released in perfect, bug free versions. Well, not completely bug free, but at least playable for longer than 10 minutes before the next crash. It'd be great if bethesda released the source code of their …

Hehehe, and they released a buggy product to retail stores, and people didn't complain about it? :pppt: Of course people complained about it, it was impossible to run the unpatched Daggerfall for more than 10 minutes without it crashing. What makes you think they didn't? Yeah, but what i meant to …

That's probably the reason why the original version of wolf3d had features like carrying dead bodies, and stealh, but they were removed at the last minute. What I'd like to know is, Carmack wrote those engines, wolf3d and doom, but who wrote the UW/System Shock one? Was it an entire team? ontopic, I …

I took the amazing features of the Ultima Underworld engine at the time, in 1992, compared to what Carmack had to offer back then, which was wolf3d and early doom, as a sign of Carmack's lack of versatility, but apparently he made those engines less powerful than the Ultima one not because of lack …

Hmm, I dont think ms dos 7.1 or whatever you want to call it is under the gpl license. There's a dos clone that is, but that's not the one that was included in win9x.

It still amazes me how compatible games still are. Every time I look at my list I'm amazed. Vista+ OS's have started to break things a little but we are still highly compatible with games today. Well, new windows versions can't just drop all backward compatibility, can they? If they did not only …

Some old Win9x games off the top of my head that I've had trouble with recently: - Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (1997): Lots of issues running on modern graphics hardware and/or OSes. - Baldur's Gate (1998) / Planescape: Torment (1999) / other first-gen Infinity Engine games: Graphics are corrupted …

Comments: - Daggerfall does indeed have severe timing-related bugs on faster systems, including my old PII-450 and my modern systems running DOSBox at high cycle counts. These bugs include slow or nonexistent strafing/backwards movement in cities, much lower/shorter jumping, and greatly increased …
