Re: USB network adapters on Win 9x worth it?

it'll probably not work at all as the USB support for 95/98 is a bit on the rudimentary side.

For DOS a Set blaster line should work well enough, some OEM ESS drivers forget about doing the SET BLASTER part of the autoexec.bat

You can ALMOST run Diablo on this - but it'll freeze upon entering the first dungeon. even then, it's still super promising

Yes, and Syndicate Wars isn't even fully 3d - it's a heightmap with sprites on it and some box buildings and it's not even a first person shooter. now please bag on every other port in the Release Announcements forum for being pointless because you can dosbox it instead okay keep your weaselin out …

yeah same with all those doom ports, whats the point when you can just dosbox doom instead! :rolleyes: You're making me want to facepalm hard. I do a port, too. Also wasting time?

How can it be considered a "port" when the original CD Because that would be illegal and it's good that it requires the cd and original files. Some 'ports' don't even bother and include them anyway, irresponsibly. Like that Z one, that Dune II one,... which is probably what you believe are the only …

Good luck. SDL is rotting and needs a bunch of vital updates in input for a long time.

The PowerVR option only toggles the registry setting for the PowerVR HAL to be enabled (it's exactly like going into the PowerVR tab in the Display Properties and turning it on), it's like Primary but for that weird HAL hackaround.

Therefore I'd still like to at least try. I'll still look into PowerVR just for fun, but I can't promise I'll implement it, assuming I can wrap my head around how it works or if there's enough documentation and other resources needed to emulate it.
