Maybe adjust the hardware acceleration in DirectX`?
Re: VIA AC'97 Sound Blaster drivers for MS-DOS?

Would that work with USB 1.1? I have an old laptop that is perfect for DOS but its soundcard has crappy DOS drivers. It has USB but likely only 1.1 (it is from 1997 or 1998)

Many many thanks for this great summary! Back in the day there was a big broohaha about the Vodoo3 only being able to do 16-bit natively and the Nvidia could do 32-bit. In the beginning it wasn't a big deal until games started coming out where there was a visible difference between 16 and 32 bit. …
Re: What games did you become really good at?
Posted on 2022-11-10, 10:34
I was actually big on StarSiege (the mecha one, not Tribes). I got to know the weapons so well that I often was able to leg opponents before they got a shot off. I was also pretty good at MechWarrior 3 (are you seeing a pattern here?). Granted, these were never massive competitions but I have fond …
Re: Voodoo 1 or voodoo 2?

You can run a batch file or use commands in the autoexec.bat to make a Voodoo2 behave like a voodoo1. I have never had a problem with DOS games and a Voodoo2 acting like a Voodoo1. I had something like 5-6 games, mostly flight sims and never had a problem. Your experience may vary...

Thanks for Shattered Steel.... I got into Mecha kind of by accident. I was going through a department store looking for games in English (I live in Germany but am of North American persuasion). I came across EarthSiege 2 and loved the fact that it was a Windows game as it had taken me ages to get …

Did you mention whether the card is AGP or PCI? If it is AGP it likely just doesn't like sharing-....

I helped beta test the drivers for the last of the commercially available 3Dfx cards and I can confirm that motherboard compatibility was sometimes an issue. At the time I was using an EPox board and was an AMD fan. They had to send me two new sets of drivers before the card worked on my board. So I …

Pretty much any First Person Shooter ... Yeah I played Doom and Quake etc back in the day but mostly because there wasn't much else out there... I got bummer when StarSiege : Tribes overshadowed the original StarSiege as well...

Nothing is consistent. As things were going good, the latest Microsoft update changed something and now the games won't work in fullscreen mode with Windows DirectX. So it is now required to enable the DirectX emulation in DxWnd. Welcome to the world of Cloud where the computer based on inputs from …

I mean, there's plenty of cutscenes in I76 where they're out of the car discussing whatever. There's even scenes in the intro that never actually happen in the TRIP. (and also depict the other hand weapons that were never implemented) Being able to bail out of a car and get into another one was a …
