Wow, this is fantastic news ! :D I'm so glad this was finally fixed. And for both versions of the game, too ! Awesome work ! Let me get some time, I'll ask around about the game Extreme Paintbrawl. There are other games on the same engine too, but I couldn't find their Windows adaptations (Wiki …

I don't think much and keep using Google. Perhaps they will store, save and sell my data, but that's what is happening to millions of people, perhaps even famous people as well. But Google is convenient

Power Chess 98 The original Power Chess too. Power Chess has DOS (for the core), Win16 (WinG), DirectSound, and Win32 (Win32 controls and a Win32 console program) components. As such, it only works with Windows 9X. Yes I mentioned it in the first post. It can work in Windows 11, thus I was …

I actually did find a way of getting Extreme Paintbrawl to fully work on Windows XP+. You had to modify some batch files to start DOSBox at certain times. Only problem is that if your graphics card doesn't support the 640x400 menus, you're fucked. NVIDIA takes me as low to 320x200. i don't think …

Win32 games having DOS engine components
Posted on 2022-03-26, 16:58
I will need to give an explanation first. Some early Win32 games, during the Win9X era used certain DOS components. They were internal engine components while the main game was basically Win32. An example is Power Chess by Sierra, the executable is Win32 based but one of the required executables for …

Sorry if I write on this old thread but I'd like to understand how some things doesn't work just like in Win 7 used to. I'm using a WDDM1.1 GMA3600 Dx9.0c gpu on Win 8.1 and the 3DMark2000 different cases are these: 1) No compatibility options- of course memory check problem doesn't start 2) …

Members at VOGONS definitely have things to do other than "VOGONS", that's how life goes. At the end of the day, what do you watch on TV or OTT or anywhere?

I have 2 machines, one which couldn't install Windows 11 because of unsupported specs, while my main PC having a 1st Gen Ryzen installed it without any tweaks at all. I didn't have the supported list then, so I installed based on what the installer says. Funnily, withing Windows 11, the PC health …

I'd swap the question round to why did you rush to install Windows 11? I never recommend anyone installing any windows version, (or anything new really) till it's been out in the wild for at least 12 months. Even if Microsoft themselves have updated everything for the new shinny OS, other software …
