Just a little note of weirdness: Found a site that recommended limiting XMS memory to 16MB may when running Realms of Arkania II: Star Trail. You have problems running Star Trail on machines with 32MB memory or more. and then they recommended an XMS "memory eating" utility, which you don't need in …

Yeah, I know. To misquote a friend: "This may sound naive but I like to entertain the idea that maybe some of these people can be liberated. Maybe some might stop and smell their surroundings occasionally. You might argue that a good deltree is liberating for them but I carry a romantic notion that …

Well in a way you could build a seperate kind of moslo for it, instead of wasting cycles now and then give cycles back to the OS now and then. Well, I [/u] couldn't. ;) Here's an interesting point: http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/feedback/message.asp?msg=1286.1001M.TXT If you see your CPU usage high, it …

Hey... we should lobby the guys that made BASS and see if we can fenagle a 256-colour CD32 version from them. I wonder if they even have copies anymore...hmm... Revolution Software and Virgin Interactive Entertainment? Yeah right. I'm having a hard time as it is trying to find INFORMATION on a 256- …

Thanks DosFreak - but, as Harekiet mentioned in the thread I was referring to, the CPU won't idle if it is running a dedicated DOS thread which doesn't use release functions. DOSidle does the same as CPUIdle or other CPU idling software, but through DOS instead of Windows - so it won't idle if the …

Wow, it worked for you too huh? I'll have to take 'my' advice (someone else told me to do this). Cause for me patching jazz.exe is just not working. What settings did you use in VDMsound to get sound to work nicely? Does the option 'highest quality' work? Maybe I should just shut up and try it. :D …

Re: Does GLhexen2 work on glidos?

BUT - you could take a game, set it to look for the 3dfx minigl.dll, and then put OpenGlide in the same directory to wrap the Glide calls to OpenGL. eVoodoo has already proved they can do this with certain minigl.dll's and the latest, private version of eVoodoo (check their forums). Not sure why …

Unfortunately, FreeSCI seems only able to handle PQ1 and PQ2. http://freesci.linuxgames.com/index.shtml For now. You might try this with DosBox. http://dosbox.zophar.net/ And it should work.
