Because south park's graphics are crappy untextured stuff = automatically assuming 16-bit "ATARI SHIT'!!!1!11 also Jorpho wrote: You might also consider just running the one N64 console version fixed. Disregard the PSX version at all costs
Re: Blood on DOSBox SVN Daum

No because Blood wasn't developed by Allen Blum III and isn't really a 'build engine' feature. Build was a licensed renderer module programmers had to build whole game engines to work around with. It also explains why Capstone's (Witchaven, Tekwar) implementation is so arcane and different.

Re: Fidelity vs Enhancements: Which One Do You Prefer?
Posted on 2014-07-30, 00:19
I'm also about fidelity. Even when it comes to my own game I use modern technology to hit the "fidelity" of a 1998-2000 computer better instead of the more common bloom/ssao/normalmaps. 😀

The only PCB wallpaper i've used is some macro photography of a Voodoo at a dramatic focused angle 😜 Just straight-up PCBs can be a visual noise eyesore.

Considering there's hardly a new laptop loaded with Win9x (with the latest hardware) after 2002.... there probably wasn't any testing for the 9x support enough to write about it. From here on it's totally an AT YOUR OWN RISK kind of thing. Also don't use Outlook Express and don't impulsively open …

There's not a 64-bit Windows OS in the world that can run 16-bit programs. XP 64-bit won't run GW-Basic either (nor Baisca or QBasic). They took out the 16-bit subsystem. The only 64-bit Windows OS that (possibly) could is Windows 7 Ultimate for its Virtual XP mode

Weren't DEC ALPHA machines used to speed up rendering for NewTek Lightwave, back when they still used Amiga based Video Toasters/Flyers? Yes but I don't care about DEC Alpha. That's like the only history remaining on the internet were their Alpha-based machines and much less their relatively …
Re: Windows 98 SE Vs. Windows 2000
Posted on 2014-07-29, 02:03
When Windows 2000 came out I stayed away from it because it did have problems with Voodoo drivers at the time and made the upgrade for the Voodoo box to be Windows ME instead. 🤣 😀 😐 😒

That sucks 🙁 then again, running a program with the term 'injector' does sort of draw in the wrong kinds of people pressuring to expose the depth buffer... *COUGH*CHEATERS*COUGH*

If anyone has anything DEC workstation related (like shipping with them) please do share 😀 My fond memory of DEC really stems from trying out their Ppro200 boxes towards the end of their life. They were quick, Win95 loaded, and IIRC had ESFM?

1. A vague GHZ'ey system past the Core2Duo is enough. Ignore all outdated "special optimise blood config's!!!" you see on the internet; stock DOSBox settings are enough. 2. Overdraw. This is natural and not strange

NTVDM handles that, doesn't mean it's a 32-bit program. If it were a true 32-bit program you would have no issue running it in 64-bit
Re: AM5x86 @160 / @200 Stability Testing
Posted on 2014-07-27, 15:49
True. Especially if running at a higher bus frequency means you need to run your memory and / or cache with more loosely timings. and some motherboards don't like the higher bus anyway. I never had stability with 150mhz, but 160mhz works dandy with only the soft reset freeze being a problem (caused …
Re: Build Engine games flickers in 1024x768

Also this flickering is actual behavior that happens on real machines of a very high speed. Not a DOSBox bug. FYI 😀
