Boogeyman, he had a thread titled the same as this one and in it he was rude and demanding. When he was responded to in vaguely sarcastic overtones he rebutted like a child. The thread was then locked, so he made this one....

I think it's time for nvidea to actually relaese something that's good. Nvidea cards are terrible. This beta driver is not good at all even though it's beta. AMD makes much better video cards and always have. AMD video cards are great for dos games. Nvidea has the better graphics but AMD has better …

RCT2 is a 2D Windows game and it still runs properly on XP. The Gold Deluxe edition (which can be had rather cheaoly) even includes all the relevant patches and updates. Personally, I play RCT3 Deluxe instead as it's a 3D game, has more features (including being able to ride the rides in proper 3D …

Sorry but X-Wing and Tie-Fighter were never easy with keyboard. Both are nigh on impossible with keyboard alone and people who have played the games would actually know this.

The G400/G200 Matrox cards were not as good as the Mystique for 2D. The G series were more Windows centric and sometimes their BIOS VESA modes didn't work so well. The Mystique never had such issues as it was a chipset/card built for DOS gaming and excellent 2D performance (with S3 ViRGe- beating 3D …

Re: aspect correction bug in dosbox 0.70?
Posted on 2007-07-07, 04:03
Same here, never had any form of corruption and my screen's a 16:9 TV. My screen/desktop res is 1280x720 and I've used all of the output methods. With aspect=true I always have a correct image in the right aspect ratio (4:3 with black bars on each side). I use a 7800GT PCIe but have also used a …

hehe i740. I still have my Real3D AGP somewhere around... Did you guys know it was used for Arcade games too, just like 3Dfx, NV3x, 4x and 7800GT. I don't think that ATI's Radeon ever was used that way.
Re: dos games with tcpip
Posted on 2007-07-02, 01:18
As far as I remember the first DOS game to support TCP/IP was Air Warrior. And the Internet wasn't esoteric by any means it was just that it was more centred around governmental and educational institution resourcing. Romero and crew knew the value of a supported network protocol that they had been …

The Spectrum and Vic-20 whil both having cartridge ports were computers. This thread is junk and doesn't belong in Milliways.

Stop posting erroneous and inflamatory threads. While VOGONS does have a small console section (which is where this junk should be posted, if at all) the site is more centred around running old DOS and Windows games on newer PCs.

93.81 aren't a proper revision for XP. 93.71 and 94.24 are though.

Marketing guys have little to do with version numbering at nV. It's more likely that the newer revisions are a 'step away' from the 150 dets. I can say that they have some major distinctions, the least of which are integrated PureVideoHD support for XP (even though nV say that it's only supported in …
Re: MT-32 emulator available again!
Posted on 2007-06-27, 23:31
Certainly. It was the defacto standard in game studios for many years, even after GM had standardised and was available in cheaper soundcards. The MT32 is still used to this day in many music production studios. Just as the Yamaha DX7 is still favoured by those who want a clean FM synth sound, so to …
