Hi, I have an issue with Indirectsound (v. o.20) with Colin McRae Rally 2005 (and maybe others). Without Indirectsound I found it sounded off (5.1 setup) on Win 10 x64, especially on rainy stages the raineffect would drown out other sounds. With Indirectsound it sounds much better, however for some …
Re: 8-bit guy gets ultra-rare NOS IBM (prototype?) from Computer Reset then proceeds to obliterate it

Treasure warehouse: We send you this unique priceless artifact for you to do a video on. 8-bit-guy vandalizes it. Next time they can send it straight to ISIS. 😂 Reminds me of when MJR did a video on a very rare orange xbox, only he had the decency not to drop it. 😂

Am I excited for this new tech? Not really. I've always been lagging behind when it comes to computer hardware. Actually I'm very happy with my RX 570 and 580 in my PC's, I think Just Cause 2 looks amazing and that game is 10 years old. I have to give credit to Omnividia Consumer Products for …

At home I use Firefox because it has addblock and I use a nice visual theme. At work I use Chrome and I hate it because of all the adds. Don't know why Microshovelware tries to shove it's new browser down everybodies throat, that boat has sailed many years ago. Already didn't like it because of all …

Posted on 2020-09-19, 20:28
No, I meant D3D12 as output API in the dgVoodoo configuration (General tab). Also, you need DDraw.dll and D3DImm.dll from the MS x86 folder because Sports Car GT is a pre-DX8 game (32 bit). Ah, I see now. And yes, I just tried Direct3D 12 (feature level 12.0) and everything looks allright. Thank …

Direct3d is very good too but certain elements are not displayed at all, the sky is completely white and cars are missing textures. Sounds like the usual AMD driver problem with D3D11. Did you try D3D12? D3D version of SC GT should work just fine (I tested it with 2.7) and unlike with the Glide …
Some issues with Sports Car GT
Posted on 2020-09-19, 08:49
Hi, Since the website http://www.racecarsim.com/ is up with addon cars and tracks I really wanted to replay this little gem of the past. However Sports Car GT (SCGT) has allways been a pain in the lower back to get running ever since I bought it in the late nineties. Some of it, I think, has to do …

Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (no idea what this is yet) A bit sad how underappreciated this game is as I quite liked it, wel at least more than Halo which is from the same period but I found Halo to be boring. It also has an amazingly good soundtrack. Gameplaywise Mace Griffin is fun but nothing …

MicroProse Resurrected!

Don't know if this news was posted before, copying this from Strijkbout's topic from GoG.com forum. Apparently a guy from Australia bought the rights to the MicroProse name and is bringing out new games under that name. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-05-05-microprose-returns-after-two- …
Re: Some guys opinion about DOSBox
Posted on 2020-02-07, 20:47
Apparently I was one of the few people on earth which typed "INTRO" at the command prompt and read it. But yeah, Dosbox is what it is. Can it be improved? Sure but at the moment it's still the best and most versatile Dos emulator. INTRO is not going to describe e.g. why MIDI port detection does not …

Re: Sound Blaster Audigy Rx...oppinions?

I personally haven't seen any issues with the X-Fi cards - I have both X-Fi (PCi-e) and Audigy 4 (PCI) cards. If you want to run EAX properly you should build an XP box with an X-Fi card. Alchemy is alright, but it doesn't work with EAX 1.0 games such as Planescape:Torment. I'm not sure if it's …
Re: Sound Blaster Audigy Rx...oppinions?
Posted on 2019-10-22, 19:48
I see thanks. Though EAX should work with this card for old games right? Even if it's just emulation how does it hold up? Still cant beat the real thing but if you don't want a dedicated XP box I guess its ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLj9obfMppk Thanks, the comment section was quite …
