There's GlDirect but it's unmaintained.

Corrected the way I install MS DAO 3.5 for an old game to run on Windows 10 in my inno setup script...

I've been playing "No one lives forever GOTY". Very fun game, too bad a re-release seems not to be possible now. I discovered it two years ago. It's a shame I didn't sooner. I loved it from beginning to end ! I still need to play the sequel, I was stuck in the snow (poor sense of orientation, even …

I damaged an internal laptop floppy drive with mould indeed, can I recover it ? (I'd prefer not to disassemble it) I already tried a floppy drive cleaner kit, it did nothing at all.

A little off-topic, I have a few GDI games that absolutely won't work on modern Windows (all the colors are wrong, and no compat layer hacks fixes it). For those cases, a GDI wrapper would be a) cool b) a very daunting task to develop. I'm glad when they are compatible with Win32S, but typically …

I'm so glad that we have dgVoodoo2 and this new release. dgVoodoo2 fixes a lot of games. And I do mean, a lot. Thank you so much, Dege !

The fact than Doomguy in Doom 3 didn't know what duct tape was, has always been idiotic. That's bad design, and it felt very forced.

Thanks a lot Dege for this new release !! :D Windows Defender is really paranoid lately. I use dgVoodoo2 a LOT. And every hour, WD deletes the same files and I have to tell it to restore them again and again. If I disable WD, then Windows complains. Anti-virus : can't live with them, can't live …

Maybe setup two Windows accounts ? You can use two local accounts, or use several Microsoft accounts, or a MS account and a local account. Both with different shortcuts and apps, of course.

I can't wait for the remake. I love SS1 on paper but can't get into it because of the controls. SS2 is my favorite game for when I need to shit in my pants in terror, and fast. No other game tops it.

Dune (Cryo) - 1992. PC DOS CD Version, modded to have the french dub (which was exclusive to the MegaCD port - but not anymore). I have a project to reverse-engineer the whole executable one day, but for now I'm enjoying the results of months of hard work. All the clics, pops, volume jumps up and …

If you have this game installed on Windows 3.11 (edit: or 9X), this utility I wrote a few years ago starts the game and sets it to fullscreen on startup. Because unless the game is in fullscreen a) the default window is TINY b) the scrolling isn't smooth at all. It also stops the game from always …
