Re: What games did you become really good at?

Not "really good" as in: any kind of competition level, but I've spent a lot of time in these games and probably got close to what I personally can achieve: TIE Fighter - really stood the test of time, and I got toally into it again for multiple weeks just a few months ago Descent - played it a …

Re: Is it possible to emulate a Roland SC-55?

There are multiple sound fonts out there that get rather close: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi/wiki/Recommended-SoundFonts Other than that, the closest you can get to real hardware ia Roland's official emulator (SoundCanvas VA), but nowadays it's only available with a RolandCloud subscription. …

ATI Rage II: SVGA refresh rate in DOS

Hi, I have an ATI 3D Xpression+ (Rage II) in my P233MMX PC, and in DOS programs the refresh rate in VESA / SVGA resolutions is always 60 Hz. I vaguely remember that there was a tool back in the day to change the default for that, e.g. to 85Hz. Is that so? If so, what program can I use for that? …
