probably something more original like a elf girl protagonist with switchable friends that have different abilities and a soft rpg system to it all and backtracking and maps and a plot involving human conspiracy and witchcraft and subliminal environmentalist themes. also animated cutscenes and 6 …

Depending on your choice of monitor, you might want to avoid the S3 family on a LCD. Remember that Rendition has slow VGA so don't use the screaming 3D unless you really want to play Papyrus racing games :) Mystique is sharp and fast, keen stutters and there's a fix for that now. Just pay no mind to …

it was the only single player story FPS on UE2 available for some time shortly before Unreal II that is.

i'd say add 32x32 icons, official ones if you can find them. and if not, make them just to make the list look neater and also being an icon resource for those who manage a startmenu/launcher for them 😀

yes like vogons is going to be represented by a software piracy advocate with negative karma points. not tainted by petty squatting at all. no ulterior motives here especially given your history on this forum :rolleyes: also there is no "Free Speech" on privately run sites like reddit, vogons, etc. …

2004 came and passed. Half-Life is exclusively maintained on Steam since. There are players on Steam. All the servers on that list are the Steam version. There's no way around that.

Similarly, running 320x240 on a GFFX in SVideo will give linear upscaling which looks horrid

My favorite tunes to compare OPL2 emus and cards are a couple of DMX ones: Heretic E1M5 Doom E2M2 these two usually expose percussion, distortion, and channel limits, and they're much much much worse on every imitation hardware i've heard.
Re: Will DOSBox help me?

No it won't. Dosbox is for games. Dosbox is not a crutch for legacy IT solutions. Use a VM.

if I made some retro platformer in that spec range it'd probably be more like a PC-88/98 -> DOS conversion. that means 640x200 EGA or 640x400 letterboxed VGA paletted with nice dithered art, fancy border, tile scrolling and opl2 craziness compensating from the audio downgrade from those systems

I have this, at least. , but that's more of a hackup of a existing completed GPLed game with new data. Targets 6th gen PCs (P2,K6, and everything at least competent with a Voodoo) Most of the effort of mine right now involves wrangling with poor blender exporters, getting the engine to do modern …
Re: Whats a good format to have music in?
Posted on 2016-09-07, 21:50
No matter the ears or speaker setup you WILL hear the badness of MP3s when you go from one track to another on album music or looping music (like with some video games even). Bit rate perceptive reasoning can't help you there.
Re: Video card recommendation for 1998 Win98 PC
Posted on 2016-09-06, 12:25
No. PCX2 = Pentium territory. K5, and 6x86 are off limits and will perform badly with the card, and it's more due to FPU-heavy drivers than the hardware itself. A Voodoo will be fine.
Re: Old CPUs in retail packaging

IIRC i've seen a 486 in a tight plastic blisterpack with a floppy disk, though can't remember if it was AMD or Cyrix. That's the only non-Intel old CPu packaging beyond plain cardboard boxes I can recall right now
