Re: Problem with Pod...

Posted on 2021-09-14, 15:35

Have you tried podhacks? it fixes a lot of issues with sound, thing is I don't know if it works on 98SE. I don't know if it is sound card related, I was using AWE64 value with my K6-2 and have no issues after I disabled vsync.

Yeah POD is best run on Pentium 1 or II cpus. I have no idea why sound does not work in your case then. Maybe you could try podhacks first before uninstalling, it is a fix made by nicode meant to use with GOG release, not sure if it would work on win98 or older OS but it is easy to use. I don't know …

Hmm that's odd, do you mean no sound in the main menu? have you tried setting the volume in options? what about during races? I had a strange issue with sound effects muting a little after a race starts, that was fixed by setting vsync to software controlled instead of enabled in Display Properties, …

Ah ok, you already have the best installation, POD Gold saves some steps and should work nicely on your system, it's the AMD CPU that requires that additional patch. D3D would need D3D installation and patches I think, not sure about that. It's been awhile since I've installed POD on a retro PC, I …

Check your GPU's control panel, I changed vsync options in the 3dfx control panel, depending on what card you use, may not have that option. Since you are using a 3dfx installation and 3dfxff patch, I am assuming you are using a 3dfx card. Does podx3dfx.exe run? What CD did you use to install, POD …

You might want the Forcefeedback patch, it is needed for AMD CPUs, from nicode 's FTP : Forcefeedback for D3D-DirectX5 patched POD (d3d5ff-1.zip) Forcefeedback for 3dfx GLiDE patched POD (3dfxff.zip) I ran it on AMD K6-2 and also had to configure these: 3dfx vsync set to software controlled instead …

Re: Diablo 2 glide worth it?

Hmm interesting I thought V2 SLI could handle Diablo II with ease. Seconding D2DX, I had always used the old glide wrapper, but D2DX with higher FPS is a very noticeable difference, it also looks more crisp than the old wrapper which now looks blurry to me. Some prefer the more stable ddraw in …

I did play Big Red Racing and Severance, only had the demo version of the former back then but would play splitscreen with my brother haha. Severance was amazing because you could sever stuff, I played Knight but didn't manage to finish the game, there was an arena mod I remember, and lots of fun …

Re: Some Questions about Selling Big Box Games

If it's a rare box, people do buy it even without the disk(c)s or in questionable condition. I wouldn't junk the bad discs, but keep it and make a copy of it if you really use the old media. I don't really use the discs/media that come with big box games, unless I really don't have a source or it …

I don't miss burning discs, my burners were all quite loud especially the later ones. It is also annoying when a CD-R burn fails and you have to junk the disc, resulting in a heap of junk CD-Rs. At least CDRW could last a bit, my old 700MB Sony CDRW is still alive. The life span for good quality CD- …

Diablo holds up so well. Better than Diablo II IMHO. Diablo feels closer to it's rogue inspiration, with more randomness in each run with different side quests and shrines. And the loot is tuned way down so that each floor you may find a single item that's a really good upgrade. And with only 16 …

Morrowind - This game is just cozy to me, like a game where you can go to rest about with the freedom live anywhere you wanted, modding is an obsession everytime I reinstall one of these Bethesda games. The strange architectural differences between factions and otherworldly structures also carried …

Hoping to finish DKII this time, back then I could not progress past a certain mission because the game would crash. Even with GOG's DKII-DX version on Windows 10 it is not very stable, still need some patches to fix GOG's release.. using the in-game screenshot function would crash the game, also …

Re: Tips to be a pro fleebay seller.

Not fleabay but a lot of sellers just don't bother. They usually dump a blurry picture of the hardware, sometimes covered in dust, untested condition (of course), no model info, just a vague graphics card. I have one say they don't get paid enough to check out the model for their listing, take it or …
