Thank you, this worked for me as well! 16 was the lucky number for me, with following specs: CHAINTECH CT-7AIA (VIA KT133) Athlon XP 2400+ @ 1,5GHZ / 200 FSB (yes, it's underclocked, because of motherboard limitations) 1GB RAM Windows 98 SE ESS ES 1869F

Laptop + Windows XP + Intel HD 3000 - Game starts and menu looks fine, but 3D game has serious glitches and slowdowns. Previous eDuke versions run fine with OpenGL. I have pretty similar system (Think Pad T430, with Intel HD 4000 and XP), and I can concur, that there are massive slowdowns, which …

Sure, here you go! There are 2 audio devices, but I assume, that sound for speakers is going from HD audio one. Filename HD_Audio.png File size 27.87 KiB Views 2358 views File license CC-BY-4.0 Filename Display_audio.png File size 24.25 KiB Views 2358 views File license CC-BY-4.0

I tried it on my ThinkPad T430 and it's working beautifully. Tho I found out that at least on this notebook it isn't working with CuteMouse 2.0, but with 2.1 it's working just fine. And also, like mentioned in this thread previously, Tyrian won't work, not even its setup.

MTCP is way, way simpler than modifying SMB config on Linux or editing th registry keys in Windows to support the old insecure lanman Auth. For me on my NAS, it's a matter of changing value in one drop down menu. And since I'm using SMB on modern machine too, it's the most convinient setup possible …

The thing is (at least on my side), that I like to relive those old games in a best way possible.

Hehe... it really depends on how you look at it. As a child of the ‘80s and ‘90s, to me FM (and even PC speaker sounds) will always sound ‘better’ when it comes to DOS games, since that’s what I grew up with. :-) I would say, that FM sounds "right" to your (and mine as well, since I definitely …

Dreamblaster is a modern alternative so not what the "developers intended" but may actually sound better just as you may prefer turning up the bass in a song even though this isn't how the musician intended it. It may or may not sound better then what was intended, but it most certainly would sound …
