Keep on supporting that G400. I still miss my old one, was my first 3d card purchase. Had been trying to get the fairy demo running on my nVidia GeForce GTX 580, but even with the config modified to allow runs off of a G400 it doesn't work out.

Not sure, I believe the game hangs at start with SB/Adlib sound (per the threads you referenced), it's working fine for me with ykhwong's 20130107 build. I'm guessing it works fine in other recent DOSBox builds as long as GUS sound is selected. Note there seem to be 2 "Gravis Ultrasound" entries in …

The setup for this title offers some chipset specific video modes. If selecting the mode aligned with with a selected DOSBox emulated video card (i.e. S3, Tseng, or Paradise) the video output flickers badly. This can be resolved by selecting one of the non-video card specific modes, but was unsure …

Is anyone aware of a shader version of xBR compatible with DOSBox? I know it's been reformatted for a variety of emulators, but not sure which emulators shader handlers might align with DOSBox's.

Generally you should have a set of 6 CD images for this game. Merged directories/images to prevent disc swapping are possible, but you shouldn't expect support for such here. I believe the game will expect to find it's video/audio data files in a set of 6 drive locations specified by it's config ( …

You could if the audio tracks were included in your image, but they may not be. Total file size of the BIN is a better indicator of such, it should be ~667MB big. If your image is significantly smaller than it likely omits the audio tracks and there will be little you can do but re-rip the CD. If …

What the Windows version of LSL6 talkie supports is 640x480 resolution (vs 320x240 for the earlier non talkie), but you can also get the increased resolution n the DOS version if you select the VESA driver. I think you actually need to use the installer in the "hires" folder on the CD rather than …

1. I'm guessing the game isn't compatible with the concept of not being able to write to files within "Program Files". Try running it as an administrator, which should enable it to update the files it needs to. Not sure about 2 or 3.

http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ Though, outside of it's support for shader filters it's not going to help you resolve the pixelated graphics. Such is related to your configuration of DOSBox, where you likely have the available scalers disabled or set to one of the pixelated filters (i.e. normal2x, etc.).

Not really sure, but you should likely just do as it asks and update WinBatch. WinBatch is available from http://www.winbatch.com/download.html. Unclear why the game isn't packaged with the appropriate DLLs or is uses them.

LPT1 is your printer port, I'd guess you are not using the Megabuild version that includes better support for communication over LPT1 or that you've failed to configure DOSbox to do so. Unfortunately since this is non-game software you are unlikely to get too much support here.

I believe that there are currently 3 implementations of xBR, with different degrees of corner rounding (i.e. v3.7a, v3.7b, v3.7c). Which one is used here? The upcoming versions of xBR with additional anti-aliasing and anti-de-dithering checks look nice. Still hoping for something that will …

I'm confused by the need for "multi-core CPUs and 64 bit architectures", isn't xBR implemented as a GPU shader? I guess it's that this is implemented as a scaler rather than a shader here. Any chance of a shader implementation that would work in the revs that support shaders?
