Re: Non-Steam/GOG/DOSBox old games that don't run on XP?

Posted on 2016-02-19, 02:01

in Windows
RetroArch has a great CRT filter and I love running dosbox through that (Zeliard with dithering!). Doesn't RetroArch cause massive input lag though? At least, i remember it being way inferior than just running Nestopia or other emulators stand alone. I wish there was a good way you could apply …

Hidden and Dangers doesn't work properly on XP. You will think the game works fine until you get to the vehicle chase level after the escape from the labour camp level. However, then you start driving and come across germans who fire off a whole mp40 clip in about 2 seconds in a jerky crazy manner. …

Mobil 1 Rally Championship .SQ Ordnance Survey image extraction?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, i didn't really know which one was appropriate for this. This game has a display that shows you an ordnance survey map of where you are in the rally stage while you are driving it, like this: http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/77484-mobil-1-rally-championship- …

Okay, i found the file i was referring to before. This is how the Doom intro should sound on a SC-55, notice the whispy, sweepy effect on the halo pads is very distinct and defined, and becomes a deliberate part of the tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tykAn_7aRP4 Here is the doom intro recorded …

Yes that's what i thought in my post - the thing is emulating an 8820 using its sc-55 map, not an actual sc-55. I can't tell you how good a job it does at that as i don't have an 8820 or any hardware synth sadly. I think it just highlights the need for another MUNT-like project but for SC-55. Mind …

Hmm it seems like this is not a proper exact replacement for the SC-55. From recordings i have heard, i am guessing it is more "emulating" a sc 8820 using a sc-55 map rather than a sc-55 itself. The reason i say this is i have some recordings i made from an online test from here of the doom intro …

I tried adding those two extensions but it didn't do anything. Then, i did a winmerge and regexp with the extensions my card has compared to the 6800 list from the link above. That made the graphics go mega corrupted which implies it was going something but it was so corrupted that i couldn't …

Perhaps you also need to change the ShaderVersionString parameter? Not sure what version is appropriate though? Is there any way to export the list of extensions to text file? I found a list of extensions for the 6800 GT if that helps: http://www.geeks3d.com/20110407/test-r270-51-and-geforce-6-still …

teleguy, i think you may need to have it raised to opengl 2.1 instead of 2? Not sure about the glsl version. Does anyone have a 6000 series card to find out what versions these should be limited to? That atiogl.xml file as far as i can tell it just seems to adjust extension limits and things but not …

Just to clear up confusion, i assume you mean DGVoodoo 2, not the original one which won't wrap old direct x versions? BTW the pink lines surrounding your tyre are just a transparency issue - they won't be what's affecting the performance. You can either set a transparency setting somewhere with …

What's with the pink ring around your tyres? Looks like a wrong transparency or pixel centre setting in the drivers or something? Hmm yes i had a look and couldn't really find any suggestions. All i can think of is to try and limit the game to only using 1 CPU core. The game is very reliant on your …

Hmm could it be something to do with hyperthreading needing to be disabled? Just a guess, could be wrong. Your best bet is to ask at http://www.grandprixgames.org Haven't ever tried these games on windows 7, only xp years ago. Then i discovered GPL and well they just didn't cut it anymore :( Mind …

I've just tried this myself with the wrapper and it's not quite what you're saying. The heat haze effect appears to be tied to resolution! :o It works at all resolutions but as you increase the render resolution, the haze effect is drastically diminished. It gets more and more subtle and extends …

Are you sure the keys are not already assigned to other functions? Maybe you need to go through and find what they are assigned to and then reassign them. If not then maybe they are hard coded. There are programs that can take in input from a game controller/ mouse / keyboard and then spit out other …

Hmm i'm not using Alchemy but Alchemy Universal - to be honest i've never gotten it to work but i've never really tried. I have xfi on my xp machine so i haven't needed it. But i'd like to get an understanding of how to hack around getting EAX and HRTF and things working properly on any machine as i …

Does anyone know how to get alchemy universal to work with these games? With Pandora Tomorrow, EAX is still greyed out and unselectable whereas wiith the original Splinter Cell, if i add it to the Alchemy Universal games list then the game crashes with a general protection fault. Does anyone know …
