For some reason even though many people say online that it's supposed to work on Win95, for me it just won't start at all. I tried the latest version from 2013 and an older version (2.4.4.0), and with both I get the loading screen for a few seconds and then an error message saying "Error Reading …

It's a shame this doesn't seem to have gotten much attention. I really love the idea! Probably wouldn't be able to help much myself, sadly, other than testing the ROM on my system.

Perhaps try reference drivers instead of the vendor ones. https://www.philscomputerlab.com/drivers-for-voodoo-2.html

Ha, for some reason I thought that gamepad was a Famiclone at first. Something about the look reminds me of them.

Yes, 32mb is a perfectly fine amount for that type of system and planned setup.

Nice collection other than there being no Morphello, the most aesthetic Othello game in the universe. It'd be cool if you could include this if you ever do an update to the collection, since it's quite obscure. https://archive.org/download/mrphlo20/mrphlo20.zip Btw, I could list other missing …

Yeah, just put F-Prot 3.16f on the drive and boot from a DOS floppy to make sure you don't infect its EXE.

Fyi, a machine like this would be able to run Fusion 3.64 perfectly fine under Win98.

I've been looking for the full registered version of a DOS PC Othello game called Morphello. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJJGnEFb4iE I really like the aesthetics of it, and I have been searching for the full version for years with absolutely no luck whatsoever. Quite unfortunate, I'd really like …

Actually, I got it to work with VCDImager! It turns out that something with how FFMpeg encodes the video the CD-i doesn't like. The TMPEGenc encoded vids work fine. Only problem is that for some reason I can't fast forward or rewind, just skip through the videos I put on the disc.

Just tried Nero 6 on an XP machine and it worked even less! Literally resets the machine whenever I click play on the BIOS even though the CD-i application is on the disc. About to give up at this point. I've burned 3 coasters so far.

I'm using Windows binaries of all this software, actually. I'll look into Nero, but it's trialware and would the latest version still have the compatibility (CD-i, etc.) stuff? Also, I switched to TMPGEnc for video encoding, it seems to give better quality results.

Not sure how many people here would be familiar with this topic, but it's worth a shot. I've tried twice to burn a VCD that will play in my Magnavox CD-i 450 with DVC to no avail using FFMpeg to encode the video (using -target film-vcd) and VCDImager to author it. I have also included the required …

Basically, your results demonstrate the fact that Viper Racing is CPU-limited on your particular hardware configuration. In a sim like Viper Racing, there is a tug-of-war between the amount of resources devoted to rendering the action versus the resources devoted to generating the action. Viper …

Just played through two FMV games tonight. First the PC/DOS version of Night Trap and lastly the DVD game version of Thayer's Quest. Had fun playing both. The later was also released under the name Kingdom the Far Reaches on PC/DOS, CD-i and 3DO, but I'm really not a fan of those versions because …

I've been playing a bunch of Viper Racing lately on my Voodoo 1 Pentium 233MMX machine. Really fun game, imo, and it's definitely playable at 512x384 medium or so settings even though the performance isn't incredible or anything. Usually around 20fps from what I can tell without a counter. The odd …
