Windows ME automatically removes TSRs and real-mode drivers in its aggressive push against DOS IIRC. What i'd do is probably try a Windows98SE Boot/startup disk and see if the Toshiba DVD-ROM driver does anything for recognition. (it does for my sony dvdrw) Now format the c: drive by running the …

Uh...it says so right on the dege website. You can't miss it (unless of course you're using it through someone's genius "win 7 game patch" that bundles it without notice/credit/etc) Also DX10.0 cards are turning 10 years old this year!! An excuse to upgrade! 😁

Anyone got a game that looked like this? game.png Not shareware but not commercial either, and thus certainly not "abandonware". It's one of those that tried to compete with ARC, Battle City and Subspace (and failed) back when topdown vehicles were the trend. This one supported DirectPlay and was …

The Kyro series have absolutely NO SGL support whatsoever, so that would be a waste of time. And yes, the host's video will affect it. The PCX2 pipes through to your host video card. It'll display as sharp as that. It'll even work through a laptop's docking station if you're insane enough to try …

It doesn't. There is no virtualization. To get the fastest PCem build you must compile the tree yourself with profile generated optimization. I don't think i'll bother explaining that though, so just add -flto for now

Having 3dfx being output to an OpenGL viewport won't solve your Lego Island FMV problem. Stick to the vanilla upstream repository if you want the fastest (and working) 3dfx support.

No. Voodoo2 is a different, upgraded chip with many new capabilities, and Voodoo2 emulation won't fix your Lego island problem. a new fast CPU that can handle Pentium dynarec with infinite cache will besides, Pcem's v1 speed is actually a bit on the Obisidanish fast side, and frankly it's fine for a …

. Fun fact is that now Biohazard runs too fast on quite old machine, so it means that this game doesn't have framerate lock. Makes sense for that as often the bus transfer speed would be the bottleneck to work/deal with getting around 28fps at best in 800x600x16 usually. 800x600x24/32 would be …
