Interesting article, thanks for the link! I wonder what the legal status of the "floating" game is. I presume all content is still copyrighted by LucasArts (or whatever the company is called today), especially since the game obviously makes heavy use of tm'ed stuff (graphic designs, names, etc.). Ah …

Actually there's one major question we need an answer to before everything else. That question is: guruNS, did you install the game from original media? If the answer is "no": thought so. "Abandonware" is not supported on VOGONS, sorry. If the answer is "yes": either you're lying or you are in …

Use the forum search before posting questions. Here's a thread with more info about installing MUNT on modern OS's. If you're trying to install on a x64 OS you're probably running into the "unsigned driver" problem. Win Vista and 7 x64 don't allow installing unsigned drivers. There are workarounds …

The status screen is the one underneath the dosbox screen ;) Indeed (; . guruNS, we need a screenshot of the other screen. By the way: why are you running DOSBox in an emulator? It's not clear yet that this is the source of your problem, but it definitely doesn't make things easier or more stable. …

Ah OK, for some reason i thought the game needed "timed=true", seems my memory failed there (; . Btw: it could very well be that the effect is a game bug and there's no way of fixing it from the DOSBox side. I've tried lots of stuff today: different extenders, machine settings, etc. etc. . The …

OK, I think I've seen the effect. I'm using fixed cycles because the joystick "jerks" from time to time when using auto/max. Out of curiousity: are you playing with a joystick, TomJeffersonJones? Anyway, the two videos illustrate the problem quite well. It only takes a few seconds to verify the …

Hmmm difficult to say. I've played the mission (tried to rather (; ) a few times and the platform didn't fire for some time. It started to do so after a while though and promptly killed me. I was playing in SVGA@75000 cycles, DOS4GW replaced with DOS/32A. To me it seemed as if the platform was …

Well wouldn't it make sense for someone to verify the behaviour before jumping to conclusions? I especially wonder where leilei has got her wisdom from. I bet she has the sourcecode for evey LucasArts game on her hd. For example 60,000 cycles at 640x480 gets me a healthy firing space platform in Tie …

I've just played an hour or so of WC3. I used to play the game when it came out but never really was a fan of it, so I somehow stopped playing at some point.

Yeah it's so amazingly desirable that you're the only person on VOGONS who thinks it is. Read this thread carefully and ask yourself: how many people did I convince of my great idea? And then, please, shut up already. Or, to (kinda) quote wd once more, stop blabbering and start coding.

Running glide wrappers in dosbox is tricky, I still haven't figured out how it works. Huh? No it isn't. Install Gulikoza's build, edit dosbox.conf, install the game (+ Voodoo patch if necessary), config+start the game. What's tricky about that? Some games are problematic though. Tomb Raider for …

Emulation of synthesized music is problematic though. These sounds chips contained so many quirks and sometimes bugs (for example the infamous SID bug that allowed for digital sample playback, in a way) they're very hard to emulate, and the result is often quite different from what the original …
