- Chip n´ Dale for the N.E.S (dogs as enemies) - Wonder Dog for the SegaCD (as main character) - Not sure right now, but I believe Blues Brothers for IBM compatible PC, has some dogs in it too

I have fond memories of playing AVP2 online <3 I don't know of your issue though. Only thing I could come up witht hus far is to make sure your version of the game has the latest patch as this might have been an issue with your base game. I don't know other details though, like if you're using a …

Are youi trying to record at the same time? Fraps will kill your FPS is recording to the same hard drive that your playing the game on. Hello and thank you for the idea! But no, Fraps is just counting the frames, not recording. It is doing its thing in 3 differents systems, only in one of them the …

Hello! I have recently received a DFI CA64-TC , revision C (based on Via Apollo Pro 133A) motherboard to test. Award Bios is dated 2002. I don´t own a 1.4Ghz Tualatin, but I do own a 1.4Ghz "Tualaron" which is recognized by the board without trouble. Also, 2 x256MB Infineon PC133 CL2 Ram modules are …

Hello, I couldn't find the Matrox Marvel G400 TV installation disk anywhere, after I picked one up on eBay. So I ended up buying one that was basically new in box so I could get all the utilities for it... So now I've imaged it and wondered if anyone needs it or, I could upload it to vogonsdrivers …
Re: Are there any more aspect ratio ultratolerant people?
Posted on 2020-11-13, 15:24
Point is, I appreciate more active screenspace than correct aspect ratio, it just does not bother me, my brain adjusts or something. but my brain just sees those black(dark gray if you do not have a super duper expensive screen) and asks itself why all the time. Maybe it is some sort of OCD. I am …

It recenttly happened to me, something similar with Star Wars Rogue Squadron. Even when the game has native support for Glide, it looked bad, graphic glithces, all written dialogues looked broken. It turns out there´s an specific patch that fix it. After I applied it, it looks just fine now. It …

Anyone ever see this behavior before? Route adonf - the bridge in the village towards the beginning of the track? Creepy black shadows going across. I only see this when using my voodoo 3, not using d3d or nvidia hardware. https://youtu.be/n_F2D55ouLo Haha, weird. Not a big deal though. I guess …

My only doubt is about that Voodoo2 SLI cooling. Wouldn´t it be a healthy measure to have a fan by their side, similar to what you did with the CPU? I mean they are close to each other, generating a fair amount of heat, in a small chasis..

Very nice setup. A "retro-sleeper", looks 486-ish in the outside, a ´99 beast in the inside. 😉

well Norwegian and Swedish and Danish sound similar but Dutch sounds like more of mixture of German and English with a little Scandinavian mixed in there. Talking about Chinese and Russian, we should start all using latin alphabet for starters. Some countries have transitioned by the way. Turkey …

Not long along, French was the Diplomacy language. My elder brothers, who attented high school in the 80s, were still taught French as a second language, not English. It was in the 90s when learning English became more and more convenient and encouraged (...) to non-natives. I like English and I …
