I used the Roland PC-200 MK II for most of the 1990s with Cakewalk.

I was reading a newspaper when my COMLINK beeped. https://i.postimg.cc/gr2MH85C/DOSBox-2023-01-15-16-36-23-20.jpg A treaty, huh? Turned out it was DDO Warhurst, who summoned me to Langley. https://i.postimg.cc/YjDdnjBh/DOSBox-2023-01-15-16-37-41-41.jpg Alright, alright, I'm coming, 'Sir'. The …

‘Delta V’ from Bethesda. I paid good money at Babbage’s for that game in 1994. Fastest time for a game to be removed from my HDD. Boring is the only way to describe it. Many more, but that one really sticks out in my memory.

I would rather say A500 is a clone of this case. InWin cases are cheaply built compared to this one - it even has powdercoated black chassis and better quality materials in general... The A500 is a very solid case and certainly not cheaply built, but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion. To …

Holy cow OP. This is the exact model my dad had back in the early 90s. For years I've tried to figure out which PCPartner model it was, searcing the internet only gave names like XI, XL, LX, but never came across the VP model which looks like what we had. All that survives now is the AT keyboard …

The above level is subtitled "Which idiot designed this security system?!!". lol Whose specs include the impressive Guaranteed to stop 100% of perfectly square people who take up the entire hallway. (but seriously, it looks pretty darn cool) Ha. Yeah. I'm having fun. It's not a deep game, but it's …

So I'm neck deep in TimeShift and I think I've been playing too long. I'm starting to get philosophical from the levels in the game. Such as, "A hall full of lasers is the path less traveled." Yeah, I need to take a break.

What do you think of it? Most people who played it (and then comment on it, and I find their comments) seem to see it as disappointing and acceptable at best, but I really like it. Well, I really like a lot of it. Unfortunately, I feel that some sections of the game are boring, there aren't enough …

Much to my surprise, Azrael's Tear ran quite smoothly in DOSBOX on my lowly Pentium M laptop during that time. Yes, I wasn't surprised when people ran Blood or Duke Nukem 3D smoothly in DOSBOX on Core 2 Duo CPU, but I didn't expect Pentium M is fast enough to run 640 x 480 texture mapped games in …

I don't use USB at all. It's disabled in the BIOS. My Mainboard has a Gameport and my Audigy 2 has a Gameport too. I'm using the Audigy one at the moment. It seems to be a problem with the force feedback effects. In some games those effects are tanking the fps to unplayable values. Other games I …

I just tried another game, ReVolt, and it's exactly the same. I only get 20-30 fps and the game stutters like crazy. Shouldn't it run with at least 60 FPS on an Athlon XP 3000+ with GeForce 4200 Ti? Edit: It's the joystick. If I disconnect my SideWinder, I get 144 FPS (@144 Hz vsync) Why is the …

My copy of the game (v1.18) works fine on my Windows 7 64 gaming rig. I did have to use a ddraw.dll file from my GOG version of Metal Gear Solid in the G-Police main game directory to fix some missing textures. Everything works flawless.
