So, why are you using an XT keyboard and such an ancient monitor? Seems like kind of a waste for a P3.

Not sure tbh. Probably Super Mario World on SNES.

Reinstall Windows, I guess. I think your shareware disks might be infected with some type of a virus. It happened back in the day. :< Crap. I really hope it doesn't come down to this. It took me forever and a day to get 98 running exactly the way I wanted it to, and there are at least 100 games …

This doesn't really address your question, but I've found that the game's MIDI music sounds superb and, IMO, slightly better than the CD music, when you use the Roland SC-55 soundfont from the following thread: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=45600 (for those who don't know what to do …

Say, I wonder if there's a thread here for multiplayer meetups. I've been playing a bit of Quake 2 lately and it'd be fun to see how I stack up against fellow Vogons. I'd be up for it if I could just install a linux native version of Quake 2. Though I'd obviously have to use Wine and the windows …

Spectre VR. It runs in a higher resolution than the DOS version too. I could never get the music working for some reason, however.
Re: Is there a win3x EGA driver that supports more than 640x350 resolution?

Forgive me for asking, but what was the purpose of "Super EGA" back in its day? Was it just so that people could attain higher resolutions while keeping their existing EGA monitors?

Call of Duty is surprisingly difficult for people used to older FPSs, like myself. :P I used to play the original Black Ops quite a bit on Xbox Live, and it was pretty fun, but I got killed a LOT. A few years later I picked up Titanfall on PC, which had similar gameplay mechanics, and I'd say I did …

I later played the MK2 PC version after the Arcade machines were gone. I still remember the cheat code for it which was nonsensical. :evil: I will also note that the MK2 version had blood which was removed on the Nintendo version. The North American SNES version of MK2 had all the blood and …

If they simply ported the mobile version to PC, I'd be all over it. I run Linux, Android uses the Linux kernel, why has no one figured out how to run an Android chroot under Arch or Debian?

Re: Sound Blaster Emulator for Dos?
Posted on 2017-07-16, 07:55
A Soundblaster emulation with inbuilt FM synthesis would be like a holy grail for DOS, or even Win9x. It would make it so much easier to get a retro rig up and going since you wouldn't have to worry about ISA compatibility. Merely running DosBox on DOS would be interesting, but I'd be more …
