I am lost why it faults there as well since it seems to suddenly generate the 15bpp lookup twice . You'd probably have to do some process of elimination I also wanted to detect the CPU speed at that part so it would skip the 18bpp generation by default and process the other lookup tables using the …

Re: Dynamic (maybe a bit too) music in video games?

The early Lithtech games also do this (Shogo, Blood 2, Nolf) NiGHTs also has very dynamic music 😀 and it's rarer to find disc-console examples of this due to the whole stream access seeking thing.

When I last tried Bochs for games on this quad-core system, it performed roughly 486DX2 66-ish. Understandable, given it's supposed to be a pure "clean" C portable emulator that most people seem to recommend for some reason probably because it exists and has a lot of marketing blurb on its own site. …

The current version *could* be fixed to work in DOS again, but that would require intense regression testing between various revisions (segfaults during lookup generation). The DOS version broke around when water reflections were added. There was more optimization for colored lighting since 228d, …

I've been uploading interlaced captures recently. I'll wait and see what it does to those... The 30fps limit is an internet deadlock that really needs breaking. It's been the bane of the fighting game community for so long.

Also, if you can, try to get the V3's desktop res in a custom 720x480 mode. It's got the least distortions that way.

I dont' mean SweetFX, I mean EFX+SweetFX, that's different. It's SweetFX ported to EFX (Another but more open D3D9 shader wrapper). and I certainly don't use it for enhancing the graphics :P but it would be better (and preferred) if the glide wrappers had their own multipass postprocess shader …

Posting compiled builds publicly made from the repository is discouraged for possible confused-end-user complications in bug reporting. It's why I never shared my builds.

I would use psVoodoo if it supported mipmaps. It's the only wrapper that can work with a efx+sweetfx chain.

The problem isn't DOSBox - the problem is that beta software sucks. You don't fix emulators to make betas work. Betas are broken by nature and they are not 'better'. It is not 'important' to support unreleased and unfinished versions of software.

Shovelware, like 'abandonware', is a term that mutated into something else entirely, like "non-shooting games i don't like according to zombie-game-loving youtubers". You'll see this term applied to games like Tex Murphy, 11th Hour, Descent, et al.. and if they're 320x200 only, expect an unrealistic …
