Alright, quick update (apologies, once again, if this isn't The Way To Do It). I replaced the motherboard with an MS-6385, and it transpired that the Pentium 4 that went with that motherboard had failed at some stage. At least, that's what the apparent random series of beeps tells me. So I put the …

My fix was to just to go device manager. remove the floppy drive and reboot. Upon reboot the computer found the floppy drive again. No go, I'm afraid. I had to do it in safe mode, 'cause it's actually started crashing on the desktop now. It may well be an unrelated issue, but since it looks like …

I'll have to check it out on the weekend. In the meantime, should I replace the motherboard? I have another one that I was going to use, an MSI MS-6385. The only reason I didn't use it was because it uses RDRAM, which I've never seen before. Otherwise, it's probably more suitable. Will I have to …

Motherboard: Intel D845GERG2 CPU: Pentium 4 2.66GHz - not sure of the specific model number Graphics: GeForce2 MX200 RAM: 512mb I guess that's the most important stuff. There's also an 82gb 7200rpm HDD in there. And, for the record, I just swapped out the disc drive with a different one, and the …

Hey guys. Obligatory "not sure if right place but gonna post it anyway" malarkey... So, I recently built a beautiful Windows 98 SE machine to play all my games. Aside from the well-documented shutdown hang, it seems to have been working fine - just a few missing drivers that I've yet to track down, …

As far as I know, Soundcloud converts the audio to MP3 @ 128kbps.

ARGH! I'm a muppet. I found out what was wrong - looking through the settings I found "passthrough to real DirectX" checked. Silly me! Thanks for your help, anyway, hopefully someone else will find it useful. Side note, though, there is a horizontal line across the game. ( image ) I'm guessing …

you can probably look up his DNS registration information Worth a shot. I looked and he's wisely used WhoIsGuard or similar to obfuscate it. There's also an email address when you exit Megapede, which I won't post here in plain text for obvious reasons...unfortunately, that one uses a domain name …

Space Invaders uses DX6.1, AFAIK. Problem is, putting the dgVoodoo DLLs into its directory does absolutely nothing...unless I've done it wrong, of course. Am I right in thinking you just drop the three DLLs and the setup EXE into the same folder as the game's EXE file?

Yep, I linked that very page in the OP 😉 I've emailed the dev recently, no response though. Bit of a long shot considering he hasn't updated any of his games since the late 90's. (Also, you should totally play it. It rocks.)

Why not do both? Put it on SoundCloud just for listening to, and have download links for your high-quality files.

Far, far superior. I should note that it worked fine under Windows 7 - but I also had a different GPU (Radeon 7870 then, GTX 970 + Win10 now) so that might not mean a whole lot. I was under the impression that dgVoodoo had different binaries for DirectX.

I usually go for SoundCloud for this sort of thing.

Apologies if I've posted in the wrong place, being a new member and all that. Many years ago, my dad introduced me to a wonderful shareware game called Cheesy Invaders , and it seems to have followed me around since then. It's one of those games that's always found its way onto every computer I've …

The 3D Space Invaders remake from 1999 doesn't work too well on my current setup. It works fine in software mode, but on hardware mode it drops frames like a Londoner drops T's. Video in software mode and hardware mode. It doesn't normally have that audio issue, but it does crash every time. Not fun …
