Re: Sanitarium Issue

Posted on 2008-10-01, 17:25

in Windows
I don't have the game so I'm just throwing out suggestions..... Have you tried reducing video hardware acceleration in VPC? Helps for some games. I'm wondering if some of the issues are speed related. Could try a slowdown program. Yeah I actually had acceleration disabled for other games, to which …

Sanitarium Issue

Posted on 2008-10-01, 16:45

in Windows
Has anyone played Sanitarium on XP/Vista? The game works great with some minor crashes on screen changes (easily avoidable by saving/restarting....takes like 30 seconds) However I have a truly annoying bug. Whenever I am in action mode (the sycthe maze, giant squid) my character sprite starts …

Re: Can't run Rayman.mdf with DOSBox

Posted on 2008-03-04, 18:47

Thanks for your help. Does this mean I'll be able to run the game with DT or Alcohol? By the way, I don't really appreciate being accused of using a pirated copy. I bought the game more than ten years ago and I created a MDF copy of it. Now, the CD doesn't work anymore and I'd really like to play …

I do have a job and things to do you know ;) However I was hoping to write up a few strange things I discovered about widescreen monitors and the various output modes - to help understand why I can't get it to work 100% of the time. Don't worry, I'm working on a thread. You don't have to add your …

If you have aspect=false, then you will get black bars on the sides _unless_ the game uses 320x200 or 640x400 (or 320x400 or 640x200), in which case you will get no black bars on the sides when dosbox is set to output a widescreen resolution, but you will get black bars on the top and bottom if …

oh there goes the "abandonware-is-holy" kid again. :rolleyes: Ok there mr. I am holier than thou. I'm not even going to respond to this since this isn't the time nor place for it. You should check your attitudes at the door though, since you have no clue about the topic you are attempting to …

Re: Widescreen support?

See the problem is when I want to play....let's say No One Lives Forever. Barring any hacks, the game does NOT support widescreen right? Now I don't care about stretching - I want it fullscreen on my nice bigass 24" monitor. So I set "Use Nvidia scaling" to ignore all aspect ratios. That way I get …

fixed aspect scaling What terminology is that? Sorry? Nvidia offers this - it scales but with a fixed aspect ratio. I didn't use the Nvidia exact wording in case he uses Intel onboard or ATI. http://www.ldso.net/tronfaq/images/Nvidia_ControlPanel.jpg Second option is what I'm talking about. Scaling …

You would think that people on an abandonware site, used to using software from questionable sources, would be more paranoid about viruses and trojans that corrupt or delete files than people who use legit copies. You want to tone down that generalization a bit? I wouldn't call abandonware sites …

avatar_58, we're still waiting for your detailed post about your aspect ratio "problems". I mean the one with detailed information about the problem (and by detailed, i mean more information than just "it doesn't work"), the screenshots, and stuff. I know I know, sorry about that. :sweatdrop: I …

Re: Weird Battle Chess Problem

Posted on 2008-03-03, 17:18

I'm having problems with battlechess too. I can get it to load and run. but when the menu comes up and I press a key, the game just starts playing a comp vs comp match and all I can do is watch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't you have to right click and hold it to get the menu to show …

I wouldn't ever mount C: because frankly, even if nothing would happen (which most cases it won't) I just don't feel safe. I say leave the message because the LAST thing you need is a bunch of newbies complaining that Dosbox broke something. I'm not sure I understand anyway, surely people aren't …

Aspect correction doesn't seem to work for a lot of people it seems. I have no idea why this is. I was fighting with it just yesterday. Sometimes games will refuse to scale and do automatic aspect correction with or without the option enabled, other games will stretch no matter what. It's very very …
