Re: games that are better on a Macintosh
Posted on Yesterday, 07:46
AGI and SCI Games are horrible on Mac. You have to deal with several bugs. Timing Bug, only window-mode, no black background, not all have mt-32 soundsupport (like some pc-pendants). The very old AGI suffer from 32Bit-Quickdraw bug that impacts 16color and monochrome-versions. So you have to use an …

Re: Crystal Caves & Dangerous Dave have issues with ET4000/1MB?
Posted on 2020-06-04, 06:46
Thx for these informations. I'll make additional tests and perhaps a video next weekend. As you said, the CrystalCaves-patch linked above does not fix anything for me, but the patcher runs fine with win98se. BioMenace is not usable on that A2286, because it requires "stacks=9,256" in the config.sys …

I thought I did tell you exactly what the issues are, but it's gone...so I'll do it again. The A2286 is a REAL 286/8Mhz and afaik it behaves like a real machine. The "patcher" requires Win9x so it refused to work on the A2286 Dos5 and also on my main PC 486/DX2/66 Win95a, so I need to setup a …

I have a trident card but the image-quality is REALLY bad. fuzzeling lines on spaces with the same color on tft..bah! et4000 from diamond (SpeedstarVGA) is superbe against that trident-card. In another thread I found a patch. I'll check this. Old ATI should also be fine, but ATI-Wonder does not work …
Re: Fix Display Problems in Crystal Caves and Secret Agent

What exactly fixes this patch of CrystalCaves and Secret Agent? The stuttering HUD or the stuttering screen? Does your ET4000 work with dangerous-dave correctly? I get strange text-characters or a shadow if I make only one jump and it stay's until I quit the games.

Re: Tseng Labs ET4000/W32P PCI Rev. A - a good card for late dos gaming?
Posted on 2020-05-31, 10:00
Et4000/w32 has two main issues: - Image Quality is not perfect on areas of the same color. - If Textmode 80x25 is centered on your tft then LowresVGA is about 0,5cm off right. I would go for a S3-Card.

Are the shaders "universal"? So can I copy them from the PC to the Mac-Version? I did some additional testing for the MacVersion: Core2Duo MacMini Nvidia9400m shared gfx. Mac OS 10.6.8 with Halo Mac Universal DVD-Version 2.0 - Vsync is broken. Activating Vsync leads to strange fps and hickups. 30fps …

what we need is a crack that kicks the steam-drm out of the executables. for pc and mac. i really would love to play and install the games i bought on my retro-machines the way I like it, not that shitty steam that always moves to the next os after a view years. the old days were great..cd/dvd in, …

I am pretty sure that's the issue of the same compatibility problems with 32bit quickdraw.
