PII 233-300 on 66MHz FSB. Pentium III 500 wouldn't make Armored Fist 2 or Extreme Assault much faster, besides to DOS that's just a Pentium II 400 at that point

try mounting it on the D: drive instead, cd-rom drives work best being the 'next letter'. A: is for floppies.

quakeworld's not the same, it's just quake with its progs and game logic rewritten to a different approach involving minimal events, lerping and predicting. it was largely an experimental attempt to invent some way to make quake online play lag less (and it worked, and subsequently shaped modern …

Re: ATI 3D Rage Pro wrapper?
Posted on 2011-01-06, 01:14
Unfortunately no. 3dfx has like over 20 wrappers only due to the UltraHLE popularity boom alone. Zelda OOT on PC with a TNT was quite the motivating fantasy then :P as far as I know there has been no demanding Rage Pro releases in the history of the few rage pro games. Hey - I wish for a PowerVR SGL …

something tells me you want to play hexen mac on it forget it, stick to basilisk and/or sheepshaver. p.s. Fusion's so old, I used to pretend to have System 7 dualbooting on my PC with it back in the 90s 😀

Have you tried Hal's megabuild for some of those extra video modes and chipset features? That's a good start. Stock DOSbox probably doesn't have a lot of support for 24-bit modes I don't think. The only major game to use such color depth is Grand Theft Auto and even then it's quite unstable.

meh i just rar it all to 1.44mb pieces and transfer the setup entirely one disk at a time with the same floppy then self-extract using the DOS SFX module, then install Windows off the hard drive 😀 worked in my desperation cases with defective flaky ol cd-rom drives.

Try Kega98 for Genesis emulation. For its use on 486s it's pretty fast. Other fast emulators that work well on the 486 include Loopynes (more compatible than Nesticle) and Zsnes (tho without sound - sound is the CPU killer there) My 486 lacks L2 cache and I think it's a bit overrated anyway. It's …

Re: Why do my games speed up suddenly then go back to normal speed?
Posted on 2010-12-31, 08:37
The reason is because Quake didn't have a timing cap for the screen refresh. Dos Quake is 'intended' to exceed normal gameplay speed on a faster processor when the framerate reaches above 70fps. Later versions and ports don't have this issue. If you're a purist, use a higher resolution or a lower …
