Damn! I forgot one thing... I was talking about SVGA resolution only, as it's the way I used to play in the old DOS PC. VGA isn't so eye pleasing to me, in this case :wink: I only wonder if there's any possibility (in the future?) for DOSBox to "detect" or "distinguish" between "menu mode" and " …

On second thought, the only "issue" the game has is regarding to the mission gameplay speed (plays normally) and the menu speed (way to fast). Other than that, works perfectly!

Synd Wars works damn fine (on my AMD Athlon XP 3200 w/ 1GB RAM, ATI X800 PRO w/ 256MB) ever since DOSBox 0.70 was released. It was the major speed improvement I've ever seen (from version 0.65 to 0.70) with any DOSBox game. Went from a handful of FPS to fast and furious... Erm, I mean fluid! :happy: …

Well, if silence is a priority for you, then choose Seasonic. It's a trusted and quality brand, and you can't go wrong with it. 😉

One way to tell for sure if your CD is a hybrid (has 2 file systems: WIN & MAC) is using IsoBuster. It's the only way for your PC to read any MAC information that your CD may contain. Try it out...

The game Flashback (CD version at least) uses XCOPY to install the game, so this is really useful! 😎 I think in my CD collection there's a couple more at least... Can't say for sure, so I'll have to check it out. Thanks a lot, LoneLines! 😀

The manufacturer's requirements for power supplies are plain ridiculous and exagerated...! Unless you have a powerfull CPU / GPU (even SLI or CrossFire) / RAM heavily overclocked, plus several HDD's or DVD recorder drives there's no way you'll need 450W for the GPU alone. That's all crap! Just like …

Is this a bad thing? They created it. Tons of developers use it. It works. How is this a bad thing? The "$" isn't necessary.

Raymond, follow wildweasel's advice and if by any chance that change alone doesn't work, you'll have to try setting different output settings (surface,ddraw, overlay, etc).
