In case anyone is wondering, I was never able to get Heavy Gear II running on modern hardware, but I was able to get it running on vintage hardware. Fedora Core 1 turned out to be pretty ideal, with no dependency hell thanks to everything the game expected to be there already being in place. AMD …

Waking up an old thread, but I just got Heavy Gear II and after installing all the necessary 32-bit libraries on my Xubuntu 20.10 install, I can start the game and poke around the menus, but then when the 3D initializes I get the segmentation fault. Looking at the linked gitlab, I'm guessing my only …

I've run Scandisk, I've run Memtest for 2+ hours, I've tried clearing the PnP config data in BIOS and both the on and off settings of "pnp os" in bios settings. I've gotten this error before, never resolved it, and as far as I can tell it's not triggered by anything to do with the actual disk …

Hi loves. I've recently set up a Windows 98SE machine (P3, ATI 9600, SB0100) and I'm absolutely loving it. It's all running pretty well, so I've been messing around with some of the deeper dives.
