Bleh, I played Doom/Heretic/Hexen when they first came out and I always prefer Jdoom/JHexen/JHeretic over the originals...without the 3d models of cours. 😉

Actually the CD versions of the games do cause problems because NT4/2K/XP's MSCDEX driver does not support all of the functions that the DOS MSCDEX driver does. :( Usually the fix has been to splice/dice files between the floppy & CD version to play the CD version correctly and/or to use an emulator …

You can remove ALL TSR's in both and see what happens. Also configure the game using the SIERRA installer and there may be an option to use/note use expanded memory. Enable/disable this and see what happens.

Well it does work but NT get's in the way. Don't have this game but if it works in Connectix Virtual PC then it likely is a VESA issue. Some VESA games that wouldn't run in 2K work in XP but those that work in neither work fine in VPC due to VPC allowing direct access to the VESA on the emulated …

If your Riva ver works then mabye we could do a compare between our CD's and hopfully the difference is small enough to exchange files....if your ver works.

Would it be possible to make the Vid Bios of DosBox interchangeable? For instance, include a Vid Bios dumping utility. User dumps his/her bios. Point DosBox to Video Bios. Boot with Video Bios? We could start a collection of Video Card Bios's! (Probably not legal tho)

I've been trying to get it through my thick head to just backup the VDMSOUND directory instead of just reinstalling every time that I do but noooooooo I keep on forgetting. I'll just export the regedit's from Vlad's .MSI and save the VDMSOUND directory for safekeeping...No more reinstall's for me …
Re: OPL (AdLib) emulation
Posted on 2002-09-01, 00:47
The KX drivers are supposedly faster (that's what they were designed for) may be more optimal than Creative's drivers for old games, since of course old games don't need the newer features.
Re: Games that require MSCDEX exe driver...
Posted on 2002-09-01, 00:46
BTW, the optimal solution IS to alter the game as in a Win32 port. Since such is not possible then emulation is our only option. Unfortunately if an emulator doesn't work and a newer driver doesn't work (in this case MSCDEX) then modifcation of the game is the only option....unless of course you …

Has ANYONE been able to get ANY of the Windows vers of the Mechwarrior 2 games to work in NT? I have the original DOS ver of Mech 2 that I picked up waaaayyy back in 1995 the day before I bought my new 486 DX4/100 with 12mb of Vram and a 1mb Trident video card! Woohoo! (Unfortunately the trident …
Add more descriptions?
Posted on 2002-08-31, 01:26
Was just looking at the main page of the forum and noticed that it can be "somewhat" confusing. Could we possibily add descriptions under: "The Guide" "Eddie" "Heart" to provide a better focus and to reduce inapproprite postings?
