Re: dos quake going out of speed control

It's more of a DJGPP bug and is fixable (in the Quake source code) by using uclock() in sys_dos.c

Cinepak is one. The videos on the Win95 cd used Cinepak and 22KHz ADPCM iirc. ffmpeg can encode videos to an appropriate format for a stock win95 box (this being a .bat file for a SendTo operation) ffmpeg.exe -i %1 -r 15 -s 320x240 -ar 22050 -acodec adpcm_ms -vcodec cinepak %1.avi dunno what -r 24 …

Glide's an API. Glide doesn't know age. Glide can get wrapped by anything new. Voodoo hardware is not required for Glide. Drivers for Voodoo hardware support Glide. If other companies (nvidia, amd etc) ever cared about a minor API and wanted a way to waste their money, they could've made their …
Re: Toshiba Tecra 720CDT = Great DOS Gaming Laptop

It is OPL3. it just doesn't sound equalized like a typical creative card. There is a screen stretching TSR for the Toshiba laptops with CT65550 chips. I'll attach it here. It will stretch your 320x200 games with nearest neighbor resampling to most of the screen Also it benefits from Scitech Display …

Shadow Master features it a ton. Also Warhawk! Another 1995 example Do FMV games count? Deadly Tide has plenty. Expendable. more like THE explosionable Don't forget Half-Life! It uses it rotated 90 degrees for vertical positioning but it definitely is THE sprite. over and over and over

Posted on 2016-10-27, 18:26
the mirror shouldn't be the problem as Build renders it like an extra room with extra sprites and there's similar "portals" all over the game that provide connectivity within levels. If there's anything that should give Duke3D a performance dip on that hardware, it's any translucency effect in a …

Re: list of soundcards that work in windows 3.1/3.11??
Posted on 2016-10-26, 02:14
Too many to list. Set your limits to before mainstream PCI audio (~97) and you should have pretty much all of them with maybe a handful of exceptions. Multimedia support in Win3.1 was serious business

Re: ...but why cant emulators enhance graphics like this? >_>
Posted on 2016-10-22, 23:07
You can only enhance a game by knowing aspects of the game itself. This is why "high resolution textures" work on N64 and Playstation emulators, because these games were originally designed to be 3D, but only a few games are materially improved by doing so (eg Paper Mario), because there is no …
Re: Unreal Engine 1 for experts

Epic was only really open about external documentation starting from UnrealEngine2 (especially with tutorial DVDs made for that, UT2003/4 in particular). They had a complete wiki at one point which covered UE1 and 2 (both engines are literally related, unlike UE3/UE4) but most of it had a NDA …
Re: 1997 DOS games with high system requirements
Posted on 2016-10-22, 11:46
It's not 1997 nor DOS at that point. 1997 didn't have the Voodoo2 either (and 3dfx cards aren't really a "high requirement" nor were there many games that flatout reqruied them from the get go in 1997. A Voodoo Graphics was relatively inexpensive compared to MMX-capable Intel processors alone)
