I've always wanted to get into MIDI file development but one thing that always bothers me is the interfaces of most MIDI programs being either notation view or piano roll - not really the same kind of interface I find in a module tracking program as familiar. So that leaves out Cakewalk, Anvil …

For instance, AVP2 came out in 2001. This was the age right after Geforce, Pentium 4 and the gamechanging Athlon. But even when it was new, it ran beautifully on any Pentium 3 and a geforce 1 was plenty for decent framerates. The weird thing about that era is that some games were still made for the …

So the Pentium Pro is better than the MMX? I never did quite understand the difference. Yes, and no. Pentium Pros are 1995 processors that are overexpensive 'premium' CPUs for professionals (at the time, it was considered the hot shit to buy dual ppro200s for servers). They lack MMX (introduced in …

also by the way, for those in the future complaining how linear it is, check the e3 98 trailer it's planned to be a linear ride the whole way though. the mine carts in the 98 and 01 e3 trailers should be big enough for you on a clue that this isn't Duke3d II. though to be fair, this kind of on-rails …

You could try typing 'cycles max' and 'core dynamic' before you start the installer if that helps. On an actual DVD drive the test seems to pass for me. Also, are you using DOSBox 0.74? It was only recently that this game started working without a lengthy workaround.
