Can you reset? 0-1WS makes my m919 freeze instead if I reset, but otherwise it works fine (and quite fast).

I've heard that finding a actual DOS version of fallout is neigh impossible... Shouldn't be. Check your original disc for the DOS-based installer. Well, despite how it may look, I'm really just a casual fan of MLP:FiM As long as you don't preach about it (one of the biggest problems of bronies is …

I wasn't too far off with my original guess of Fallout. As for the subject of bronies, i've had nothing but bad experiences in my run-ins with them. I'll just leave it at that.

The worst scaling is text mode-only scaling that just scales the text upward only slightly but doublespacing every line, breaking your ansi games. Such scaling is demonstrated in one of the pictures above

No love for Ultima Underworld? Then again I never really played that in '92 and i've seen the sequel marketed more (the usual bad luck Looking Glass always had). It has that late, "adopted" fanbase that probably learned from it in CGW's Hall of Fame induction. I'm being generous here :D Magic Carpet …

A lot of the laptops in the mid '90s to '97 are all pretty good DOS machines in general, until of course, AC'97 became a standard.... Some laptops (like Toshiba) that allow you to half the clock speed in the CMOS are also useful for dos gaming purposes. The only thing that really sucks about them …

PC games only? PC didn't abuse lookup tables until around '94... then 3d cards really got the ball rolling. That said PC didn't really blow me away much in the 2d games department, though looking back now I have learned to appreciate all the technical assembly torture that went into them making them …

Windows 7 and CD audio
Posted on 2012-06-03, 00:38
I can't seem to find a straight answer to get native CD audio working with Windows games that use mixed mode discs for music tracks. Real CDs, not images.
Re: Need some advice which virtualization to choose for Windows 98 guest OS
Posted on 2012-06-02, 23:54
VirtualBox is already not an option as that's more designed for the NT line as a guest when it comes to Windows. I personally use VirtualPC though I never used VMWare so I don't know how that fares for 9x.

I had the "pleasure" of owning an Analog Devices 1816 at one point. It's dead on true about it, not only the pitch for FM's off, so is the PCM X_X

It's one of 'those' Direct3D cards that were pretty much made for Direct3D and has trouble on anything OpenGL. swaaye has one I believe and he knows more about it than I do.

That's unusual. Jason uploaded the Rune CD to archive.org. The full game of Rune. No way does that belong on a "shareware archive" Yeah, this is getting warezy, so i'm removing all my links.
