Re: UniRefresh no longer works on nVidia's latest

Posted on 2004-10-30, 21:39

in DOS
I'm sure Rob won't mind if I post his reply to my question about this matter since it may be of interest to others on this forum. ****************************************** I think it has been around 2 years since I removed the ms-dos development environment from my system and moved on. I am not a …

UniRefresh no longer works on nVidia's latest

Posted on 2004-10-24, 19:25

in DOS
I've just upgraded my GeForce2 GTS to a GeForce 6800GT and very nice it is too. But there's always a fly in the ointment. :disapproving: In this case the problem is that UniRefresh no longer works. This means that my DOS games (which I prefer to play in DOS proper) like Flight Unlimited, Duke Nukem …

Re: Best Sound Card/Video Card combo

Posted on 2003-11-16, 20:02

The issues are more OS, memory and software configuration related than hardware related. If you don't get on with VDMSound or DOSBox then use a boot/partition manager and install a late version of MS-DOS. Setup suitable autoexec.bat and config.sys files loading low memory usage drivers like …

POD on a P4

Posted on 2003-10-27, 20:58

in Windows
I have discovered by extensive experimentation that POD will not run on an Intel Pentium IV. This has been confirmed by reading the comments of the few POD fanatics still visiting the game's active forums. I have searched this forum and read all POD related threads including- http://www.vogons.org/ …

Re: carmageddon 2

Have you patched the game with the 2.0 patch? Have you tried reconfiguring the 3D setup? "Add '/setup' or '/config' on to the end of Carma2's command line. (Right click 'carma2.exe', select properties, edit the command line)" Does anything on this page help? For further support it would probably be …

It looks much better than the pixellated VESA mode version to me (and, yes, I'm running that at 1024x768). But then I think 3dfx Shadow Warrior is an improvement over the vanilla version. Probably something to do with my dramatic, epiphanic 3dfx conversion in 1996 when I first installed a Voodoo …

Glidos said: Glidos doesn't get involved in the audio side at all under Windows 98 so it isn't compatiblility. Well in that case I'm completely mystified. I say again- I can run Blood in VESA mode under Windows 98 with no sound distortion/corruption. I can run Blood 3dfx on my Voodoo2s under Windows …

Thanks for responding. The options I'm offered by the game's Setup program are as follows- "Choose Sound FX Card Gravis Ultrasound Sound Blaster Sound Man 16 Pro Audio Spectrum Awe 32 Soundscape Choose Music Card Gravis Ultrasound Sound Blaster Sound Man 16 Pro Audio Spectrum Awe 32 Soundscape Wave …

Okay okay. So I forgot my sound card details! :o Onboard Yamaha DS-XG sound. This works perfectly in full DOS for my DOS games. It works perfectly in Windows with all my Windows games. It plays the DOS VESA and Voodoo card glide (until it crashes) versions of Blood smoothly in both DOS and Windows. …

Blood sound stutters and no music

Posted on 2003-07-09, 21:08

I've given up trying to get Blood 3dfx to run in DOS glide on my Voodoo2s. The "Out of memory for current_texture_data in setGlideTexInfo" crash defeated me. :( So on to Glidos! :D I'm very impressed by how much better the texture filtering is on Glidos than on the Voodoos. It is especially …

Blood on a Voodoo2

Posted on 2003-07-03, 21:35

in DOS
This is a cheeky post since I can get this game to run. Just not in the mode, or rather on the graphics card, I want it to! I'm trying to run the 3dfx version of Monolith's original Blood game on a Voodoo 2. The 3dfx patch is so old it was written for a Voodoo Graphics (Voodoo 1) card. I'm running …

Thinking hard...

The original DOS version of Looking Glass's Flight Unlimited was later produced in a Windows 95 version. The original DOS version was faster and more stable since the Windows release ran rather poorly under the new DirectX API.

To edit the DOS mode you access by selecting "Start", "Shut Down", "Restart in MS-DOS Mode" you can right-click the "Exit to DOS" shortcut you'll find in your Windows directory. Right-click it and select "Properties", then "Program" and then "Advanced". Make sure that the EMM386.EXE line in the …

UniRefresh's web site has recently vanished. Although UniRefresh can be found on other sites I don't know about Rob Muller's other files. Anyway here's a link to the 6bitdac file - http://www.procerus.btinternet.co.uk/6bitdac.zip Rob actually wrote this one blind in that he didn't own a copy of the …

Works perfectly here on a P3 600. In fact with this system I'm only just becoming able to run the game smoothly at 1024x768 with "everything on" (I've owned the game since 1995 and been through several system upgrades over the years). Since you're using 98SE I'd advise using full DOS mode if you can …

I didn't realise that SciTech were giving away old versions of Display Doctor and UniVBE. Although I haven't used UniVBE for over two years now (since fitting a GeForce2 GTS which isn't a supported chipset) it did lend DOS capability to my Matrox Millennium and, before that, my Cirrus Logic 5434. …

Nicht asked: Then where's Qualitas' Max8? Eh? Second one down. Below EMM386 and above Memory Commander. Max is actually my favourite. Its setup program and utilities are all that bit better than the others IMHO. Point taken about UMBPCI combined with EMM386. And, yes, I'd never use any of these …

This stuff's just pure gold. I think I'm falling in love with you people. :o ;) ATI looks a better route for VESA compatibility then, eh? Regarding the GF4 it is notable that a number of Windows 9x/ME users found that it locks up if you try to use both UniRefresh and VBEPlus (link in my sig). This …

QEMM vs UMBPCI

Posted on 2002-11-12, 17:12

Nicht Sehr Gut said: I can't think of anything that QEMM could do, that UMBPCI could not do. Um. Enabling EMS? I'm a devotee of UMBPCI too. It's the last DOS memory utility still under development. It's small and tidy. But it's only any good for XMS really, isn't it? I suppose this thread is obscure …
