Foobar 2000, not sure if it counts since it is still being updated since 2002. I also use Cathy on my Win 10 PC to catalog discs and their contents. It is available on Win 98 too: http://rva.mtg.sk// Also use Exact Audio Copy since XP days. Filezilla / Filezilla Server for transfer over WLAN with my …

So? Did the thread said only DOS games allowed? not sure why you edited your 2019 post to bump into my notifications, but did you read what subforum this thread is in? The posts preceding that were all DOS games too... Not sure why you had to comment since akula65 also posted a long list of non DOS …

Joan of Arc by Enlight Software. It's not really a great game, honestly maybe it's rather bad, but I do think it's original in its combination of genres since it has sword fighting with a combo system, archery or crossbow shooting in the first person and then real-time strategy being able to go …

Re: Are we opening sealed copies of old games?

I prefer opened boxes. Keeping it sealed is really only for the purpose of reselling, if your intention is to keep it pristine so you can get your money's worth later then keeping it sealed and free from humidity and sun fading are also important and becomes more like a museum collector. Some people …

Whoa Doom 1! great find, doesn't look bad to me condition wise. 2021 has been good in terms of collecting, found some new local collectors as well which helped me a lot with some titles. Currently these are what I have on hand, seems like this year is mostly RTS games haha, been wanting to grow that …

Steam keys does not work for me, tried Pripyat. I think it is only for retail keys, it does say in the FAQ that it does not include Steam keys. Yeah GOG does a better job with including goodies and extras, so for some games I do prefer GOG releases over Steam. I found a sealed STALKER Clear Sky box …

I found a sealed STALKER Clear Sky box locally and redeemed the key on GOG , to find that they added a ton of goodies for Clear Sky. stalker.jpg Also like for Stronghold HD it even …

I love manuals, they are my fav part of a big box PC game, maps a close second. But sadly they are a lost art with everything going digital and manuals becoming only a troubleshooting/setup guide or having only a wiki. A well made manual just makes everything more "finished" and shows some developer …

Re: Problem with Pod...

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 …

Re: Problem with Pod...

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 …
