Windows games that look better using Glide

in Milliways
I've been working on testing games on NT4 for my list and have gotten a couple of games working in NT4 and I never knew they supported glide before which got me to thinking again about games designed for Glide that offer features or improved graphics not offered in D3D/Software rendering. Anyone …

Re: PC Game Compatibility List

Updated 5-5-2008 I've been going through all of the NT operating systems and testing the untested/non-working/games with problems. Haven't finished with 2003 32bit or 64bit yet. The plan once finished is to start working on the Game Compatibility Pack for Windows 2000 through Windows 2008. The …

Classic DOS Games interviews QBix (DOSBox Developer)

in Milliways
http://www.classicdosgames.com/interviews/peterveenstra.html So, today I'm talking to Qbix, who (to the best of my knowledge) has never worked on a game. Instead, he works on the DOSBox project which lets all of us play DOS games! Awesome! So, what is your role in the development of DOSBox? I'm one …

in Milliways
http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=47543 How much work would it take for PSVoodoo/OpenGlide to use software instead of hardware? I've tried out Swiftshader in Vmware 6 using Windows 2000 as a guest and DX8 games perform very well on a Core 2 Duo and these were games running at 1024x768. The …

List your "necessary" updates/MODS for your games.

in Milliways
I'm currently going through all of my games and reorganizing the directory structure which will allow me to organize the MODS and updates that I currently have. I've never really bothered to actually use the MODS though. I collect them like crazy, stuff them in a folder and forget about them. What I …

Re: DosFreak should get a new avatar

in Milliways
I was watching the Venture Bros again the other day and saw the scene that I captured for my Avatar. It was either Molotov or the Sovereign. The Sovereign would have been disturbing but Moltov is more pleasing to the eye. 😀

Re: video playback absent, but sound okay

None of the DosBox devs have Macs and none are interested in developing on Macs. In addition everyone on the PC despises QuickTime and for good reason (further hindering interesting in creation of a plugin). Probably the best bet is to contact the people who port DosBox to OSX and ask them what …

Re: SwiftShader 2.0

I've been testing this out in Vmware 6 using Windows 2000 as a guest and Vista 64bit as a host. Almost all DX8 games run well on this Core2Duo 2.2ghz processor. DX9 games do run but very very slowly even will all details set to low. So if your looking for some DX8 gaming action in a VM then cedega …
