Weird System Shock issues

Posted on 2010-10-03, 03:31

in DOS
My computer: 500 mhz AMD K6-II Voodoo 3 2000 in the PCI slot Soundblaster 16 in the ISA slot 128mb RAM (PC133, one stick) Windows 98 Second Edition The only other computer I have is a laptop, so using DOSbox is not a viable solution. I also don't suspect that the fan-remake "System Shock Portable" …

That sounds like just a good ol' mastering error honestly. Incidentally I'm curious: Has this topic actually been helpful to anybody besides myself?

I would go with what Dominus said as that seems most likely. Incidentally, what are you installing them from? I have the copies that were included on the Ultimate RPG Archives and they both install and play just fine on my PC, which has specs almost similar to yours. Also, are you running them in …

Okay, I've come back with some updates! Okay, first: ----------------------------------------------------- Running CD Games Without the CD-Addendum ----------------------------------------------------- One thing I wasn't aware of when I last posted: There are some games out there where you have to …

Does anyone remember that "Doom: The Lost Episodes" WAD+Book combo that used to be in stores? If I owned any Doom add-ons, I'd want that. Assuming of course that it isn't garbage.

Ah, I see. I'll edit that line then. EDIT: Actually, I wound up deleting the entire "Prep Time" section, since the only thing mentioned there that was at all material to the rest was the part about SHSUCD (which I moved to the appropriate section).

I'm sorry, what? What part of this post "associates Vogons with Abandonware"? There's only two links, and they're both to Freeware. Everything else assumes you have the product legally.

MS-DOS Tricks and Stuff

in DOS
This is a document I wrote to, well, document some things I learned how to do in the years I've owned an old-school gaming rig (its a Windows 98 computer, but most of the stuff here involves DOS). Please excuse me if a lot of this info is redundant or is already common knowledge, I simply wanted to …

Re: What Happened to My Old Games PC?

I'll keep that in mind. Hey, I've been wondering: On my old comp I figured out how to do things like configure Win98 so it gives you an option at boot of whether to go into DOS or Windows (and from there, options such as "load with EMS" or "Load DOS without CD-ROM" (so you can load an ISO as your CD …

Re: Always bet on Duke

I dunno if this would be "successful," but you know what I'd like to see them do with this game? Just make it like Duke 3D. A straight-up, fast-paced shooter. You, some aliens, and a dozen different ways to splatter them. Forget story or character development, forget trying to make it "realistic," …

Re: image creation and mounting in windows 98

I was just about to ask this same question! Glad I looked first. Don't you have to pay for Daemon Tools though? Or is this the "Lite" (freeware) version? EDIT: Nevermind, I checked. I'm experimenting now to see how I can play multi-CD games (such as Riven) directly from the ISOs, as to not wear out …

Hey guys, Last night I tried some of ya'lls suggestions (reseating, cleaning the contacts etc) and then booted the thing up. Oddly enough, now its working fine, and hasn't given me any trouble since last night. I'm still a little skeptical, as this thing is known to work great for a long time then …

Re: What Happened to My Old Games PC?

Its infinite long beeps. I think its a CMOS bios but without being able to turn the computer on I can't really tell. I have trouble believing its the memory considering its used several different sticks by different makers, unless its the socket itself that's bad. EDIT: In all honesty I'm tired of …

What Happened to My Old Games PC?

Posted on 2010-08-18, 21:42

As I said when I first came here, I had an old game's computer that just stopped working right. The machine in question was an AMD-K6 processor (I don't know what the motherboard was) that ran at 500 MHz. I never overclocked it. It usually had about 64mb of RAM in it, but I switched it out a few …
