I was excited for a second but then searched for Blackthorne Mac screenshots - and it was Sega 32X variant with fugly 3d-rendered sprites instead of pixel-art (now in hi-res), yuck.

How do you even force surround sound in Unreal 2? I have Creative X-fi Xtreme gamer/win10 and no luck with alchemy.. PS - also what is the best way (i mean game) to test LFE and on which software (soft openal or alchemy?)

Opening options.sav in a hex editor and learning to use a hex editor is probably better, it's one of the easier games to change resolution in: https://www.wsgf.org/article/hex-editing-tutorial-simcity-4-example https://www.wsgf.org/article/common-hex-values options.sav contains: 6F 70 74 69 6F 6E …

Main menu has slight mouse cursor trail glitch.. That only happens if you force MSAA. Disable that and use your graphic driver's post-processing AA (FXAA for Nvidia, MLAA for Nvidia) or SSAA (just set "Resolution" in dgVoodoo to a high value and make sure dgVoodoo's scaling mode is set to " …

Your screenshot is way too dark to see anything, but loading the save game I see an issue with the transparency on a chain, but the same happens natively and with Glide (nGlide) so I'm guessing it's just a bug in the game itself. Ha-ha, i'm not surprised if its just a game's bug (there are a lot of …

Creative ALchemy doesn't support 64-bit games. There was some talk about building 64-bit version of DSOAL on its GitHub project issues page , so it's supposedly buildable, but you might have to compile it yourself unless someone provides the binaries. Well, i'm out of luck then 😅 But thanks for …
