Offline installers is the reason why I always buy my games on GOG instead of other platforms. I got burned when Steam cut official Windows XP & Vista support.

If you found the password, then it would be beneficial to the community to post it in the thread instead of editing out everything (which has now been restored). Someone else might come along and have the same question and then he/she'll be able to find this thread through search.

If you cannot find it then if the password length isn't too long it should be possible to bruteforce it (for instance with fcrackzip)

I think this thread has come to its end after the last couple of posts which have had little to no value, so closing it. If you're of another opinion, please send me a PM.

There are PhysX demos/software along with benchmark software already on Vogonsdrivers.It's really up to Squallstrife if he wants a category for gamedemos on there and how the uploads should be processed. Since he is the one paying for storage/transfer I'll believe it'll be an entry for per game, not …

I have a localized version of Math Blaster Episode 2: The Secret of the lost city and it only contains the Win 3.1 (16bit) version of the game. If I try to play it on Win98 or Windows XP the game crashes at startup. It seems to be connected when the first sound is supposed to play. The English …

Won a bid for a new in a box Geforce 7950 GT AGP, paid 11 euros + shipping for it :) This was at a local auction site and the seller didn't really bother take good pictures or describe the item that much. I saw from the fuzzy pictures that it is an agp card and thought that it might be a nice fast …

Anyway, I got it working now in Windows 10 by using the image with WinCDEmu, that software does not seem to be blacklisted (which is the case with Alchohol 120% and Daemon Tools). Blacklisted by who? Is it something newer versions of SafeDisc do? Or some implementations? I recall running quite a …

I'm not getting that error. I get "Please insert the correct CD/DVD" or no error message at all (game just never starts). SECDRV.SYS is not included on the discs. So I think they are only using SafeDisc as a disc checker (which PCGamingWiki mentions is a possibility). I'm not 100% sure it's SafeDisc …

Have you looked upon this? https://github.com/ericwj/PsSecDrv No, I haven't, thanks for the link, but I don't think it will help in this case. As I mentioned in the post, the games DO run when I have the original disc in the drive (which I don't understand how is possible). My theory is that …

Do you have another motherboard you can test the card in? As Horun mentioned, only the Vibra16 part required the MediaBus.
