Re: WinXP vs Win2k....Hmmm..

If you choose IRQ 5 when using VDMSound it *MAY* switch over to XP's emulated sound. Using IRQ 7 is the only way to know for sure. (Well you could get XP's emulated sound card to use IRQ 7 but you'd have to modify the CONFIG.NT) As for why XP's emulated sound is worse than VDMSound's? It's Microsoft …

The thread I posted at Ars was revitalized. Woohoo! Don't look at me, I didn't do it! Was watching it steadily progress to the second page until Zathras revitalized it. Hopefully I can legitimately keep it on the front page by helping people fix their problems with games.... Muahahahhahah! 😉

Re: Ripper in XP

in DOS
You shouldn't give up so easily, but it's just weird that it works fine here and not with XP. Maybe you should do a complete downgrade to 2000 or something. DOWNGRADE??!!! I've got tech doc's stating right here that MS dropped the "Pro" theme in XP because Corporate types like the "Luna" theme more …

Re: Cannot enable EMS under Win2K...

Whoah! .JPEG rules Free AA! 😎 I wonder... WPCREDIT allows you to change hidden BIOS options. Perhaps that may help in this case? I noticed before that you said that you didn't have any Shadowing options in your BIOS, I've noticed this before in some cases and WPCREDIT has helped.

Re: Heretic runs sloooow...

in DOS
Yep, Serious Sam is the only recent game I can think of with tons of enemies on screen. Looks like Doom 3 won't have as many. Heck, I doubt you'll see more than 3-4 enemies in the same screen unless it's a boss battle then there may be more. 🙁

Re: WinXP vs Win2k....Hmmm..

The compatibility modes in 2K/XP are not really emulation. Sure one or two of the fixes do involve emulation but as a whole there are simply redirects not emulation. Also XP's NTVDM Sound Emulation is not part of the compatibility modes. It's built into the NTVDM itself. Compatibility mode has …
