Wrong. Fury predates MMX by two whole years, and Hellbender by one. Also it's heavily an integer game with hardly any use for such a technology...

Agreed, I always hated dates lost. Linux disagrees though. One time I backed up using that and all my modified dates were reset. NEVER AGAIN

Deja vu. Two OS installs won't be neccessary.

Half-Life came late 98 when the P2-450s were rolling out.
Re: What old game would you like to see remade?
Posted on 2014-02-22, 13:50
Popful Mail. Ys always gets remakes to and fro, but never this. Infact go grab that early early alpha (or was it beta?) of The HUNT Begins for more hilarity, like the rapid fire footstep sounds and the alternate low guard ambush sound. That's a release candidate actually, but not final final because …

I tried this on some of my images by Audiograbbing the tracks to Ogg then Imgburn files from folders to image to make the data track and I ran into mounting errors (like MSCDEX: Uknown Error) after creating a cue with this, correct filenames and all 😒
Re: Voodoo 2 and Voodoo3 together?
Posted on 2014-02-21, 18:41
I've done this before by installing Voodoo2 then Voodoo3 drivers, in that order, so V3's glide and ICD stuff overwrites the system - from there on you can slip V2-specific Glide DLLs into your games' folders from the V2 driver set to use the Voodoo2 instead.

That's understandable, as it's supposed to be double pixel width on real machines for those 320x400/360x480 tweaked modes also.

Is there a particular fast atioglxx.dll to share for the best R200 experience with that game? 😀

Serious Sam requires MMX to run at all.

Re: 486 Sweet Spot?
Posted on 2014-02-21, 02:43
Intel 486 DX2-66 is generally considered the affordable performance sweetspot since 1993. It's adequate enough for games up to most of the 1996'ers. I said most, because there's some clear exceptions starting with Quake and the titles that were technically influenced afterward... though you can …

VGA introduced doublescanned <350 height modes. Makes sense to me...

We just want to make things clear that Quake2 has no Glide API support whatsoever. (and no SGL support either)
Re: MMX/3DNow!/SSE usage
Posted on 2014-02-20, 01:30
I'm not convinced Unreal's SoftDrv uses MMX. Doing software rendering in MMX would be slower because of the CPu switching, though MMX is useful for blitting up... still an impressive piece of work however :) For Engoo I thought about using MMX intrinsics for the colored lightmap but the cycles it …

Re: Which OS to use on new system?
Posted on 2014-02-18, 00:28
When people rage against Microsoft OS's I wonder what they're comparing them too, Linux? . I used to be on that Linux-is-the-best ship. Around 2010 there was a strong urge to jump the shark with so many new audio standards that wreck compatibility, and a sudden disdain for X11 just for getting …

Yeah it's not like it's a crisis to just start with a blaster when there's easy availability of weapons. It's more of a session continuing convenience, not for savescumming. DOSBox should not affect game design.
