That never had a demo and that's not a comic book, it's a platformer. Obscure DOS games/demos are the worst thing one could request about, since no one really does any digging. and just search for the obvious keyword (i.e. its a comic.... OH IT MUST BE CAPTAIN COMIC)

There used to be a time when mappers were pushed to promote a tech vendor . 😀 I wonder who ever collected those special promotional levels (for any game really)? The last one I know were the PhysX UT3 levels. Q3 alone had special s3, nvidia, via and saitek levels

I know PowerVR is very very slow with onboard graphics 😜 I wonder how it works with a Nvidia TNT2 Ultra PCI.

That is indeed strange and diferent I do know the PCX2 can do 3dmark2000 w/ 3dfx Voodoo3 as the host, it looks *VERY* screwed up though as usual. It can't do XL-R8R I didn't even know A5D only came with PCX1 only drivers which is strange as it's a PCX2 card.

In my experience the latest and oldest drivers for the GeforceFX don't change the crash, but different video cards do If you're serious about D3D capturing the PCX2 and you don't want to spend a lot of time finding the solution (I don't think anyone did) i'd use a non-Geforce I know the crash - i'd …

More PowerVR OA stuff, but this time running a timedemo on the included demo. It forces lightmap (no vertex) and low picmip and such when you play back the demo so it gets a more intended performance measurement. It doesn't handle it very well without vertex lighting. I recorded it earlier, but I …

Nvidia's Geforce drivers don't get along at all with PowerVR when it comes to the D3D HAL. Radeon, Kyro, 3dfx however will work. The apocalypse drivers I used were a5dv412.exe I still have no idea what KernelEx does to solve the SGLDrv issue.... it is a mystery

I personally had no problems with UT on a k6-2 w/ Voodoo2 on high back in the day. 😉 It's the poor MMX implementation on K6. One game unplayable on K6-2 but well playable on a Pentium II is Serious Sam

That is a decent answer DOSBox is for games it's not for dBase that's what the virtual machine market is for so use something else. Obviously better solutions exist that are less prone to blow up on IT shit such as Virtual PC, VMWare, VirtualBox, bochs, qemu.... which by the way aren't good at all …
