Not new. I've seen this stegonography method used to sneakily transfer roms over a decade ago.

It's a 32-bit game and that error message is associated with trying to run a later Win32s. You can at least try to find and install an older Win32s which may or may not fix this regression.

So...... it's ME then? :) I remember trying to replicate the Win2K theme in Win98 before Win2k had an official release so I went by with very compressed screenshots so my colors were off from sampling colors off of JPEG artifacts. And at the time, the "Windows 2000 theme" found is one crappy deluded …

(compressed textures don't even look compressed in Q3). The way Q3's texture compression works through post-loading the texture - the textures never came compressed. r_ext_compressed_textures usually defaults to 0, unless you run a Savage, in which it'll default to 1 (as well as defaulting the …

How's the Q3 performance on the Neon250? What about with different r_primitives settings 1-3? r_stencilbits 24/32 + cg_shadows 2 supported? GL extension list?

3dfx splashes are actually 3d scenes complete with textures. They make up the bulk of the driver size 😀 Gamecollector wrote: P.S. There is 3rd logo from Quantum. I recall seeing this splash in a late 98 3dfx driver, non-Quantum...

Technically DOSBox could work on a 386 too doesn't mean you should try it

however many people whom I've shown this say that the resulting image does not look like an actual CRT computer monitor. You are not using scale2x. VGA is doublescan, so you need the pixels doubled for 320x200 et al (but not anything above 640x350). You also have to use the shader in the highest …

I only got it to work on a Pentium at least just for a few CGA and text games (with VERY HIGH frameskip). A 486 is pretty much murder.

It's already upgraded it looks like. Also 1998 didn't have dual P3 733s :) I would replace the Radeon with something else more from its time like a Voodoo3 or something. Save those faster radeons for the P4s and AthlonXPs Also the HD AGP Radeons have poor AGP support since it has buggy bridge …

A 486 would have trouble even getting the browser started. I only used OffByOne last time I had to surf on the 486... For that 5x86 thing (by the way do not equal it to Pentium or K5 or Cyrix 6x86 ever ) I would recommend just using a PCI S3 Trio64v+ or ViRGE card. Also a motherboard that supports …

Re: Looking for midiplayer with IBK Soundbank support
Posted on 2014-04-25, 14:57
IIRC I think Allegro 3.0 came with a simple MIDI player sample program, though I forget if it took IBK parameters from that setup program, it's been so long since i've worked with (more like get away from) Allegro.
Re: Looking for midiplayer with IBK Soundbank support

I know Allegro can do it through loading IBKs and using them as FM timbres, but even then it manages to screw it up anyhow.

They should. 1600x1200 is a VESA mode like any other. Though I wonder if there's a VBE that adds the 16:9/16:10's...
