What setting did you use instead of surface? And does someone know if this problem with nvidia cards is also present with modern games like ut2k4?

I know in 1997 shadow warrior, redneck rampage and blood i think were released. Im not sure about extreme paintbrawl's release, …

Does someone know when was the CD-ROM first used as a mean to sell a game? I ask, because there's lots of old dos games I'd like to buy, but they are most likely sold in floppy disks, and I don't have a floppy disk drive anymore. So I'd liketo know which games I could buy that will come in a CD that …

Well, i've seen some screenshots of it. And i've heard it's has a rather weird install program. The game itself is a dos game, but the setup program is windows.

So, I was looking for old games to buy, and ran into a game store that had Extreme Paintbrawl (the original 1998 build engine one) brand new sealed, for 10$+S&H. From the reviews on the web, I've read that its a very crappy game, but as a collector item, sounds like a piece of old fps history. So …

Exactly why is important to make a backup copy for personal use. And yes, SATA drives have defective sectors (although i havent run into any yet), but they were not intentionally placed there, unlike the defective sectors in the floppy disks, as a mean of copy protection.
Re: copy protection

I would say they were not suited for their intended purpose, because if they were defective, then no good backup copies could be made out of them. And in some cases they could have problems with your floppy disk reader because of the defective sectors. So yea, i'd say it's some sort of "sabotaging" …

Hey, maybe this is a wacky idea, feel free to say that about it, but has anyone considered porting dosbox to the android phone? That would be awesome!

Wow, intentionally putting bad sectors in a floppy as a means of copy protection. Isnt that against the law? I mean, imagine if now hard drives came with bad sectors to ensure people are not gonna copy warez into them, or if DVD recorders intentionally write bad sectors for that purpose.
