For DOS gaming on CRT there is no better card than Spea V7 Mercury P64[V]. The only card I know of that can do 100Hz refresh in (almost) all DOS graphics and text modes. Completely flicker-free and high output quality (135MHz DAC). Otherwise, I agree with most of you, S3 Virge is the best …

Have you tried lowering or limiting the amount of available RAM? DOSBox doesn't emulate a real computer and has "fixes" for these kinds of problems. ;) I did not try. How do I do this, DOS is not already limited? I asked the question because I have seen issues with some DOS software with larger …

Think your system is to fast. Got the same problem on a Pentium III 750Mhz. But it works correctly on a 486DX 66Mhz. Tried it with slowdown but it didn't work. Maybe you can try cpuspeed or so or try it on a older system. If this is the problem I don't have much to do, I tested it on a P3 450 mhz, …

Mentioning the hardware you are trying to run the game on will probably help getting more feedback. Also what have you tried already, like booting clean, disabling sound, maybe a different vga... Ideally, people who have compatible hardware would try to install it and make it work too, as it is a …

Hi there, i would personally recommend Asus P5PE-VM, revision 1.03G. This revision doesnt suffer from bulged caps around cpu like earlier ones. Excelent mATX board based on Intel 865G chipset, supporting not only Cedar mill P4s, but also Core 2 Duo up to X6800. I have this board coupled with Core 2 …

IIRC in the original install media the various files are encrypted and unusable without Steam. That's why the use of a separate tool is necessary to make it standalone, which is what was done in the release I've mentioned. I have the GOTY version and just extract the files and replace Steam dll …

It turns out that you don't even need a Steam emulator. You can trick Steam into launching these old copies. Zero custom files needed. The details vary depending on the retail version. The GOTY release doesn't need decryption and can be launched directly from hl2.exe when placed in the correct …
