incidentally, there are rebuilt exes for both games which should allow you to play them without any problems: http://www.apogeegames.com/rott http://www.rancidmeat.com/project.php3?id=1

the problem is directdraw related -- there's a exe patch that turns off directdraw before the prog runs and re-activates it once its done, but it has a tendency to make x-com even more unstable. just remember to save frequently and you should be fine. http://www.xcomufo.com/x1dl.html

Whatdya mean, won't work? That doesn't make any sense! There's a bug with the way X-Com makes directdraw calls, as I recall, that horribly distorts the display when you're running directx 7 or higher on a Geforce X. f0dder has written a patch that disables directdraw as it starts the executable …

Kick their ass, Seabass! :) Haven't looked at the files since I'm using a friends 56k but if it's that big then they are likely packaging the original Daggerfall files and including a script to install Daggerfall and then cut/pasting the files from the .zip into the Installed daggerfall...

just want to know if the game speed problem remain when using an emulated playstation game I doubt it, since most emulators also emulate the clock speed of whatever processor they're emulating. Console emulating isn't something I've spent a lot of time with, though, so I'm not the best person to …
