Have your Windows 7 run some VM that passes your network card through to a virtualized Windows 98se/XP and then share through the guest OS in the VM? (after mapping a shared folder to your game images in the VM itself however, which will most likely show up as a network share)

My legit 'murican (US CD with FULL US AMERICAN ENGLISH LANGUAGES!!) version copy of Nuclear Strike installs without issue on W7 x64 here. nGlide handles it almost flawlessly. - which surprised me because I couldn't get it to work on Voodoo3 without it freezing (or even be able to see the cutscenes …

All that had was a water effect which is optional. What about requiring pixel shaders to run at all? Deus Ucks Invisible Bore was an early rude awakening.

Is there any Win9x game that uses pixel shader? Undying (2001), DX8? Also DX8 (PS 1.x)... e.g. NOLF2 (2002) Unreal 2 (2003) ..are among the games officially supporting 9x and XP.

A lot of ninjaing in this thread.... XP? Try pre-DX9 and post-DX9.........because pixel shader 2.0 you know. There are still some new pre-dx9 games still released today, some with bullshitting minimum requirements. arguably, before Halo and after Halo works very well for the FPS genre.

Similar ATX cases != same pc I could build a modern looking Windows8.1-expecting system that would lead to a mindfuck with 1996 dates on bootup when they realize there's a P54C in there, in an ATX S7, and you would still ask if this is a pc you saw that ran Windows 8. It'd be a hell of a christmas …

Re: PCEm. Another PC emulator.

the old accounts played dumb too. SarahWalker made a point about not checking this thread for future PCem discussion so she could dispose of this guy that can't take the hint on her own site. It's insanity. very much reminds me of that one guy who goes to every emulator's issues/forums and demands …

Re: Creating a DOS batch menu

Posted on 2014-07-19, 05:30

in DOS
There was a very old (1987) program that would do exactly this, to generate an ASCII box with a menu system for batch file editing afterward. Forget what it was called though, might've had a stupidly simple name like 'makemenu' or something.
