Hey dreamblaster, thanks for trying it out and for the suggestions. I plan to add a way to customize the texts for labels and buttons (as there are not many) and the default directory. As you intend to use it for non-gaming applications, it will look better if you could customize some of the labels …

Thanks for trying it out :) Btw, while trying to do a installer for Theme Hospital, I just found out that simply extracting the contents to a folder will not work (the game will ask for CD if you do that). To solve this, the user needs to manually edit the HOSPITAL.CFG file and set it with the game …

Hi everybody. A long time back (around 1996), I remember getting a CD with a lot of shareware MS-DOS games, this CD had a nice menu in which you selected the game and it would be automatically installed to a pre-defined directory (the default was C:\GAMES). For some reason, I always though that menu …

In my experience, running DOS games under win9x gives some considerable performance loss on more demanding games (MDK, Stargunner, Blood, Duke 3D, etc). Btw I use a k6-2 450mhz with 256mb of RAM and Windows 98 SE.

The ones that are tied to CPU for timing will have issues. But that would be the minority. Especially so with the later DOS games, that would normally sync internally and not use the unconstrained game loop methods of some past games, that would end up running way too fast and with timing issues on …

If I'm not mistaken this game uses CDDA audio (audio tracks, you can play the game music into any CD player starting from track 2). So to have music you: -Need to have the CD drivers loaded correctly (assuming you are running in pure DOS) -In some systems, you need to have a 4 pin cable connecting …

Thanks for the heads up, didn't know the game was free. Just got it from GOG

Hey everyone! Currently Im trying to run MDK purchased on GOG on an retro PC: amd k6-2 450mhz 256mb RAM Diamond stealth 2000 2mb + voodoo 2 windows 98 SE Basically I installed it on a newer PC and copied the installation files to older one and removed some dll files related to the wrapper, and the …

Thanks for the advice, I didn't know about write combining. After some research found a tool called setk6 which enables the feature and was able to set it up, but to be honest I didn't see any noticeable increase in performance on "high definition" DOS games, plus the tool does not work with EMM386 …

Tested it on my K6-2 450, loved it! There is one doubt, though... If I set the game to hi-res mode, I noticed that the framerate slows down to less than 15fps, but only when the player is close and looking directly to a wall. If the player is in an open area, even with many walls at distance, the …

Thanks! No I haven't tried univbe, neither NOLFB, will give it a shot and post the results. I actually bought it from GOG but it is the DOS version, not the HD one. It works fine in dosbox but I really wanted to play it using my retro computer.

Hi everyone, first post here on Vogons (although I am using the forum for a few months already)... Well, need some advice, I have a retro rig I use for playing some DOS and early WIN9X era games: AMD K6-2 450mhz 128mb RAM (PC 100) VGA Diamond Stealth 2000 S3 2MB + Voodoo2 8mb Motherboard V72MA 20GB …
