Depends on what video chip's in there and if it supports stretching (often found in the BIOS as an option, sometimes found in the video card's properties in windows, as well as sometimes in some OEM's configuration programs). You will want to probably play at your native res (1024x768), or native …

For the V2 in MDK2 I always used the 3Dfx Standalone OpenGL driver (3dfxvgl.dll). The only corruption I saw in that are some of the particle effects getting their textures switched to white boxes occasionally. I also had used a January 2000-dating driver set also

your problem is that you're using a dos game emulator to run Windows 95 DOSBox does not support Windows 95 Furthermore, note this bit on the ykhwong page: For official DOSBox forum, click here. Do not report any bug to developers because these builds are experimental and NOT officially supported.

SBLive's FM emulation also introduces latency and slowdown as well, and doesn't exactly have compatibility with every game out there. Sierra/Dynamix games tend to suck on it, with no digital audio support. And yes, the SBLive echo crash with ASS games (All Build engine licensees) is a real thing. …

I used to play modules via AWE32/64 in Cubic... though it's hard to work on a PC while listening to modules since that was the PC that plays them :P I do still listen to modules during production sometimes, but random shuffle from a zip file of over 28,000 of them. If something comes across as nice …

Look harder. If it were just all about pincuhsion alone, there wouldn't be so many variants of these CRT shaders. Eventually in the future it'll look far more convincing as pixel density increases with new higher standard resolutions for 20"ish screens.

It would also have to adapt to today's society over privacy concerns. Making a BBS require all your personal information because it's "run as a business" isn't going to fly in 2014.

Depends on which Pentium 4. Willamette is 'super retro' because it's their hype backlash era when it didn't live up to Pentium III performance, except for optimized applications that did not exist at all at the time. also truth you're calling your binaries "qbsim" 😀

Well something about it was modified. I can definitely see the conchars font from Team Fortress so i'm very assuming you're using some graphics replacement pack that involves replacing MDLs with MD3s (while using the old extension) or something like that.

Another World had a few bits of polygon translucency as well which is quite impressive for the time when almost no home computer game was pulling any sort of lookup effect off.
