Ah, back to the topic, another thing I miss from the 90s is MIDI music; more exactly, games with MIDI music that changes dynamically according to the action. Wing Commander is probably the most prominent example of this, TIE Fighter is another.

3dfx. :( Good riddance. Even if they had the performance cards in the '90s I always think of them as a jerk company, Oh, I never love a company --not even 3dfx. It is the products, not the company. Of course, even the products started losing their grounds after Voodoo2, but whenever a game supports …

Thanks, all. Yup, I'm going to buy a new enclosure today (it is cheap anyway), was unable to do so yesterday because it was Sunday. Nonetheless, usbdeview software is interesting. Thanks for the linky.

Instead of showing "USB mass storage device" as usual, Windows now opens Hardware Update Wizard to …

IIRC, MT-32 is based on higher-end D50 keyboard. Is that true? Anyone ever tried to play MT-32 games with D50 unit? And if that's the case, do they sound better?

That's very interesting. Recently, I discovered that you can get your displayed character attributes to all be equal to 25 by doing this - Set the "current" character attributes to 22 Set the "enhanced" character attributes to 25 Ah yes, I remember, "enhanced" attributes can be set to 25 without …

Amazingly Carma1 with the Voodoo2 patch runs on Voodoo5. :) Can't get higher refresh rate or anti-aliasing out of it though. Have you tried SSTH3_SLI_AA_CONFIGURATION=4 in your environment variables?

After completing that, my party of merry cheaters got imported in to the final part of the trilogy called "Dark queen of Krynn". Well, something odd has happened …

Yup, but the AI in WCA is exceptionally abysmal. I have yet to try PiArmada though... it probably has better AI.

I always love action-strategy hybrids like the first Star Control , so I'm probably biased. Nonetheless, I always love Wing Commander Armada. The strategy part is simple and easy to get into, yet not as shallow as it initially looks. Sometimes, for example, you have to ship resources back and forth …

It's hard to resist making a retro rig "just a little faster". On and on it goes. It evolves into a desire to build the imagined "ultimate retro rig" even though that's impossible unless by "retro rig" they mean Win9x and newer games. Precisely. :D But in my case, I have to blame two things: …
