Re: Three Stooges (problem with voice clips)

For the most authentic 'Three Stooges' experience, I'd recommend getting the Amiga version and running it via WinUAE. While Cinemaware developed for many different types of machines of the day including Ataris ST, C64, NES, PC and more it was in fact the Amiga where their games looked and played …

Re: 3D Acceleration in virtualization

in Milliways
The Moka5 guys have a 3D acceleration beta driver available for VMWare hosted virtualised Linux and Windows XP installations with Vista acceleration including Aqua on the horizon. 3D acceleration certainly is possible in virtualised environments - we use it in the most common of emulators like MAME, …

Re: DirectX 10 for Windows XP

in Milliways
The last part is a driver issue - it's almost exactly the same behaviour as the Nvidia control panel sometimes displays when right clicking on your desktop and launching it from there. It looks like the resolution has been reset but really it's just the registers on the GPU being refreshed. This …

Re: DirectX 10 for Windows XP

in Milliways
After reading the comments on that blog I'm highly suspect of it. Porting some simpler DX10 calls to DX9 while totally ignoring others isn't what looks like proper DX10 support for XP. They may have more success on x64 XP, who knows? I wish them all the best.

Re: Dune 1 MIDI music and DosBox 0.70

Also, MUNT's MIDI in Dune 1/CD ROM is really off. I suspect that it uses many custom SYSEXs to generate it's instrument map and I remember it sounded almost as wierd via MEGAEM on my GUSMAX. The SBPro dual OPL2/OPL3 stuff sounds pretty much spot on to me though - I reviewed the game when I was a …

Re: problem: parameters in batch file

Command-line parameters - these have the form %0, %1...%9, and initially contain the command name and the first nine command line parameters passed to the script (e.g., if the invoking command was "myscript.bat John Doe", then %0 is "myscript.bat", %1 is "John" and %2 is "Doe") from : http://en. …

Re: The Essential Sound Cards

in PC Emulation
To KAN and the other MOD/MED/STM/S3M/XM et al Trackerfile commentators:- 1. As far as I understand it Star Control II's music was stereo by the mere fact that the original MOD format came from the Amiga and it's 4 channel sound was actually two stereo hard panned streams. Channels 1 and 3 were both …

Re: Munt development ?

Then just skip MUNT's WinMIDI driver and use one of the CVS builds of DOSBox which have the MUNT aspect of SCUMMVM integrated. You'll just need to drop the PCM files into your dosbox folder and make sure the munt settings in your dosbox.conf are appropiately set.

Re: DOSbox MIDI clock

I could be wrong but as far as I remember MIDI clock relates to the actual Mhz of the host machine, so if you're using one of the CVS builds or a full release with Dynamic Core and Max CPU cycles set your MIDI clock is probably going to vary depending on which virtualised components are being called …

Re: Nigerian scam PM!

in Milliways
Yeah Rita4u sent the same to me as well. Intertestly enough, my firewall also reported an intrusion attempt from a Nigerian domain within the last hour or so - it failed obviously. The two may be unrelated issues though. It's just interesting because that's the first time I've ever received this …

Re: mulitple MIDI outputs?

Both MIDI-Yoke (which is more compatible with Windows 2000 than XP) and MIDI-OX (the latest version MIDI-OX32 was built with XP in mind) might do what you need - as long as DOSBox's MIDI output is standard. Essentially you install either app as a midi driver (Under Sound and Audio devices in XP) and …

Re: What is your favourite sytem

in Milliways
Ok, but the assumption that I'm new to the world just because I'm new to posting here is wrong. I've been coming to VOGONS for years, I only registered to post recently. I'm not the only person who's mentioned that abyss' threads/approach as annoying..it's be commented by old and new users alike.

Re: Cannot find a game

in Milliways
Sorry for the illegal post. The OP didn't specify how he wanted it and I neglected to read the rules regarding abandonware. MobyGames has it supposedly available from one user - http://www.mobygames.com/game/lynx/chips-challenge/buy-trade http://www.mobygames.com/user/sheet/view/havelist/ …
