Try a slower cpu? When I had problems with TR1 and Descent 2 running a voodoo sli dropping from a 800 P3 down to a 350 P2 fixed it.

The game in question is Mike Ditka Ultimate Football from 1991. In Dosbox Staging I get sounds, voices and mouse cursor but in DBGL with Staging used for dosbox version the voices sound muted and mouse use is not there. Do you know where in the config file I can tweak some things to get it to work? …

Just installed Dosbox-x on my XP system having hopes of playing Sierra's Front Page Sports Football Pro 95. Tried running it on D-fend but it always crashes at halftime during a game so that led me to try another front end. The game installs fine but when running the "hike.exe" I get this error …

I just built myself a DOS 6.22 build I'm quite happy with. After a bit of back and forth on here with the fine VOGONS folks, along with the inevitable issues that popup with old hardware, what I ended up with works quite well for my needs. Here is the info just in case it helps you with your build! …

Bought these recently for my XP system. Unfortunately couldn't get Skyrim or Wings of Prey working due to DRM fun and games. What is the cut off point/year when games just worked with a simple key? 2009-2010? Around that time yeah, but it varies on a case by case basis. I always look up a game on …

Thanks for responding! Probably I'll wait till GOG has a sale on it and get it cheap. Not a total loss since it came with the manual in great shape.
Elder Scrolls V Skyrim sans Steam?
Posted on 2024-06-17, 15:27
Got all giddy grabbing this at a flea market for a few bucks but in my haste overlooked that Steam is required. This is the DVD version if that matters. Does anyone know if there are "work a rounds" like on HL2? I'll be trying to run this on a win11 system or XP whichever is feasible.

I have a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital but it requires "sorcery" to calibrate it and wears my arm out after lengthy sessions. What do you all out there prefer? It can be USB or 15 pin, mainly using it for win98 games. Could you elaborate on this "sorcery"? I have one but it is very jittery ( …
Ati Radeon DDR won't play nice in Tomb Raider 1
Posted on 2024-03-06, 18:48
Tried every which way to get this game running in 3D but no dice. Using Ati radeon Catalyst driver 3.1 (I think) due to it getting the best framerates relative version 6.2. Tried dgvoodoo, ati tr1 patch, and nglide. Software mode works fine no problem there. May have to surrender and just slot in a …
Gamepad software/install causing slow downs?
Posted on 2024-03-01, 13:40
Installed a Saitek P750 gamepad on my Win98 rig and noticed the framerates took a dive on Quake 1/2. Quake 162fps to 58fps Quake 2 93fps to 32 fps I uninstalled it and seems to have fixed the issue. To test I reinstalled it but connected the gamepad to the usb connection on the PCI usb card instead …

Figured the Radeon drivers would cover everything, perhaps not. I'll look into the ID searches later tonight.

Strange didn't have this on my win98 system previously but it popped up after the following: Replaced the IDE hd with a sata ssd with startech ide/sata adapter. Replaced the voodoo 3 with a ATI Radeon 7200. No other components changed Reinstalled win98 and everything seems to be accounted for …
