So... I found the solution. So, I first I went to see if my BIOS supported that "Memory Hole" feature, @swaaye, and in fact it did and was already enabled. Toggling it did nothing. Then I added "support" for my GPU and sound card into the config.txt for Halo, as per the forum post's suggestion, @ …

Thanks for the links!! I'm downloading now, along with Daemon tools and a few games to try out, fingers crossed... Heh. I've heard that Daemon Tools under 98 isn't the best when it comes to reading disc images. Ideally you would want to find a copy and license for an older version of Alcohol 120%. …

I'll update those programs hopefully I can find them around somewhere! I was looking at which DirectX to go with as well, along with the user-supported Service Pack. There's a ton out there to sift through! I forgot to mention that too. You should always update DirectX to at least DX7. However, if …

Have you tried modifying config.txt? https://opencarnage.net/index.php?/topic/7383-the-halo-ce-ultimate-enhancement-guide-updated-05092019/ You can also try running the game with Dependency Walker to see if you are missing any files. You can also try the EAX wrappers like Alchemy, DSOAL, …

For storage, any modern SATA drive will work just fine (if you intend to use an SSD, though, I'd suggest you format the drive to FAT32 using gdisk under Linux, as Windows will only allow you to format 32GB FAT32 partitions; I believe that formatting an SSD in such a matter will prevent DOS's fdisk …

I don't remember having this problem back when I was running XP x64 when it was current. I would have probably had a Sound Blaster Audigy of some sort back then though. Have you tried setting the games to run in compatibility mode? I've never thought of doing that before under XP with an XP game, …

Windows XP x64 is actually Windows Server 2003 at its core and has not much in common with Windows XP x86, apart from the same GUI. The game(s) may simply not detect that they are running on an EAX-capable Windows XP (which - to some extent - is correct). Yeah, I heard that XP x64 has a newer …

Hello VOGONS, Yesterday, I had the strong desire to play some Halo CE , in anticipation for the re-release of the game in the MCC on PC, and so, I installed the game under XP Pro 64-bit Edition on my i7-3770k machine (the first install of 64-bit XP I have ever done), and while the game runs …

@Falcosoft a bit of a late update, but an update non-the-less. Regarding the widescreen fixes for the NFS Underground games, yeah, you need a cracked version of the games for the widescreen fixes to be applied. As for the driver issue, you were right. Recently, I took my i7-3770K rig in question, …

However, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think that would show any noticeable difference. Since 1440p already "works," making a custom 1440p resolution or 1080p resolution would do nothing to solve the underlying... complaint I'm holding. Neither buying any DVI monitor would solve any …

Okay then. Just to clarify, where did you find this/how did you create this "NV_CustModes" registry key? I have already linked the answer for your question in my first post: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=60192#p676126 My apologies. I believe I have overlooked that post you made. …

1. Under XP games cannot get the type/port of an attached display, only the dimensions, refresh rate etc. In the XP era this information was not so relevant so the Win32 API had not offered a way for normal programs to get this info. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf- …

The latest XP drivers of NVIDIA are broken in this sense. This problem is not port specific, monitors using DVI looks the same. Actually they are not detected as CRT, in case of proper CRT detection with working drivers you do not have connector menu (composite or s-video) or TV-format selection ( …
