Re: Backward compatibility problems with vintage HP laptop

Good idea, but I don't remember RA2 doing any tests during installation. :( The RA2 installer is animated with the same backend the game uses. Westwood did this for quite the while (and it was AWSOME!!), and if the installer freaks, the game will. Have you tried installing the latest drivers you …

Re: get no sound in MS-dos, but get it in win98SE

in DOS
Win98 has a device manager in the same place Win95 has one (right clicking "My Computer" and then "Properties"), and folders start existing when there's actual hardware detected in them. You should be able to find your soundcard and check its assigned resources within

Re: Engoo Quake 1 Port

Trying to fix it a little....... I went through many revisions. 243 is the last 'stable' DOS revision. 244 regresses it slightly with the addition of 24bit texture loading support (can be fixed in d_surf.c, conveniently located around the // DEBUG comment), but that's not the culprit for 277's …

Re: Building a Pentium II Machine - (Formerly: Good 2D card to use with PowerVR/Matrox M3D)

Not sure why you're wanting to use the PowerVR PCX2s, since they really didn't see much good use, outside of Dreamcast/Naomi. PowerVR PCX2 has nothing to do with the SEGA Dreamcast (except for being a direct predecessor of the PVR2). PowerVR was 2nd to 3dfx in having a proprietary API so there's …

Having the right fonts matter too. I found it very hard to locate the Charcoal font (COMMERCIAL FONTS YAY) but Virtue, which is derived from it, is pretty easy to find for free - which makes no sense to me at all. oh fonts and their strange and confusing legalities. it's a wonder how so many …

Re: Windows OPL3 Synthesizer

Posted on 2014-07-11, 01:16

I just skimmed the thread (sorry!), but OPL versions varied wildly (Sega Genesis OPL2 vs Soundblaster OPL2). Genesis isn't OPL2 either FYI BTW AFAIK. It's OP N 2, and there IS a MIDI synthesizer driver that emulates the Genesis sound hardware (mid2smps), though I personally never got it to work, …

What about Mac OS 8/9 'Platinum' interfaces? I miss how hard edged that gray thing was. I'm not sure if current-day Linux WMs even support such a thing given the whole vector DPI scalability fads, stripping basic features for 'sleekness' (like wallpapers and customizable color), and such.

I stopped using Linux after that stupid X color control regression that never got fixed. This is still the case today. Breaks the appearance of many 1999-2005 games.

Re: VGA Capture Thread

What i'm really confused about is that their player supports only 30 max albeit many years back one could do 60fps video on Youtube via directly uploading the FLV - which they regressed later on.
