Re: Games that run without dosbox

Almost anything that has throttling, doesn't support sound cards and doesn't have high frequency pc speaker sound. It's still an unstable risk to even play those, however as ntvdm is a big hack.

There's Hellbender, which uses Direct3D (and with obvious Terminal Velocity dervied gameplay and assets)

Maybe it's XP not letting you have at it in the Dosbox 0.70/capture folder. Fix your access if possible.

funny enough, they're a bad idea for Win9x too because even when you get a 'classic text mode' through full screen dos prompt or the Blue Screen of Death(tm), you'll get a black screen computer hang. This had only really started happening in their drivers since somewhere around late 2001.

If that were true then why is Blood everywhere, even on the Gli2DOS site when it could be purchased from an online store? They aren't doing their job at "respecting the developers" enough. Abandonware sites are a JOKE and rarely have rarities 🙄

Well, nothing special in my config except all the sound device rates are up to 44100, ram is 32mb and gus is disabled. Everything else is pretty much default.

Rules are rules. Abandonware sites are all darkish gray areas mostly because they just put stuff up what they believe is 'abandoned' rahter than officially complying with the developer, publisher, etc. Not only do they suck for that, but for tampering the archives too with their own save games, …

I'm afraid to report that the horrible proprietary s3 3d apis are not emulated yet, probably because of two factors: - way too few games utilized virge API - s3 makes horrible 3d cards anyway

Are you sure your sound settings are correct? Epic Pinball and Silverball run fine here with 0.70 without a problem with video and sound.

You don't need a game specific guide for this. I could probably code a php web site that has a "guide to playing blah on dosbox" by using simple word replacing.

jfSW has fatal crashes in areas (especially mirrors) and has broken multiplayer though. For stability I still recommend DOSBox with SW.
