Anyone played Sid Meier's Pirates! on cassette tape?

Posted on 2020-08-21, 23:59

I'm curious about how this works, because tape is linear media, and Pirates! is a non-linear game. Do you have to rewind the tape and replay it to get to "previous" parts of the game? Is it structured any differently from the disk version to minimize this? Or does the entire game just fit into the …

Re: Surround Sound in Gears of War, W10?

Why are you are not using the generic software, surround will work with that settings. It doesn't, though. With Generic Software, only my front left and right speakers produce any sound at all. I can put my ear right up next to a surround speaker and not hear a thing. Generic Hardware and …

Okay, this is very odd. When I have IndirectSound's eax2 enabled, positional separation seems to be "harder," for lack of a better word. But I periodically hear - and I swear I'm not joking here - the game pause sound effect from Super Mario Bros. 3. I only hear it during action, and it's quieter …

Installing OpenAL 1.1 didn't seem to make a difference. I didn't see any difference in the "save info" content, and the results are still the same. Setting DeviceName to "OpenAL Soft" mutes all of the dialogue and gunfire sounds. I'm assuming that anything positional gets disabled (you can still …

Surround Sound in Gears of War, W10?

Posted on 2020-08-15, 13:14

This is the GFWL version from 2007, not Gears of War Ultimate. Update 3 is installed. I have onboard Realtek audio, and external 5.1 speakers connected via analog jacks. I've tried following this guide: https://hardforum.com/threads/how-to-get-5-1-sound-in-gears-of-war.1240477/#post-1031653359 …

A question about booters

Posted on 2018-02-09, 02:03

It's my understanding that PC booters are games that ran without DOS, you just put the disk in and powered on the machine, and then you got to play. No hard drive or operating system required. Several booter games are commonly distributed as abandonware as ZIP files containing a single EXE or COM …

Re: Lemmings Revolution - works, but very crashy

Posted on 2018-01-21, 16:29

Well, something interesting just happened. I played a session without a single crash just now. I'm on the last set of levels, usually on this set it crashes at least twice per level (every retry has a chance of crashing, and a lot of retries means a lot of crashing). I beat three levels without one …

Re: Lemmings Revolution - works, but very crashy

DEP is enabled. But I tried turning it off to see what would happen, and it still crashes randomly. Side note for anyone who happens to stumble here through the desolate wasteland of Google Results; after doing a full install, make sure to manually copy the file "lemmings.box" from your CD to your …

Lemmings Revolution - works, but very crashy

Posted on 2018-01-04, 18:01

I'm on Windows 7. I found this patch: http://tle.vaarties.nl/patches/ I've installed the official 1.1 patch, and this unofficial patch ontop of it. The game loads fine with sound and correct colors and menu and everything, but it crashes all the time. Any of these things can make the game crash, but …

Re: What are the best Sound Canvas games?

Posted on 2017-02-13, 15:57

By "Sound Canvas games" I mean any and all games composed with a Sound Canvas in mind, and I'm under the impression that the vast majority of GM titles would apply. I wouldn't be interested in games composed with MT-32 in mind that happen to have an SC-compatible mapping mode, or games composed for …

Backing up DOS era CD-ROM games?

Posted on 2016-09-30, 00:39

in DOS
What software would you use to back up DOS CD-ROM games to ISO or similar files? Some considerations - it needs to be able to handle a variety of file systems, including multiformat (some DOS era games came with Mac binaries on them which aren't visible to DOS or Windows, the software should be able …
