what's supadex? if you mean sapucdex then the two games I've mentioned are Windows titles and I think sapucdex is just for DOS games that need MSCDEX? Ice

Neither Sega Rally 2 or Sentinel Returns play CD music in Windows XP, which is a shame as it enhances the gameplay of both games. Any idea why? I've tried analogue and digital playback options on my CD-ROM drive but it makes no difference. The CD simply doesn't spin up - no light comes on. I'm …

I just went for the latter as I'd been working on that game the day before and it seemed the quicker solution. Should the DOS forum just be for …

Strangest things you found in WinXP's DOS?

Now DOSBox is seemingly way more accurate than Microsoft's "interpertaion" of DOS that comes with Windows XP. Has anyone got any good errors with Microsoft's DOS emulation? Here's a couple: Power F1 (Eidos) - the car will not accelerate, meaning you go nowhere! In DOSBox it's fine but a bit too slow …

A bit late on this one (heh) but to get Novastorm working without choppiness, use DOSBox, set CPU Cycles to at least 20000 (if your PC will take it) and TURN ON Gravis Ultrasound emulation (or the choppiness will continue!). Ice

I just found that Thunderhawk will work fine booting using a conf file as long as the cpu cycles is below 1624! Weird but true. Luckily the game speed is about right then. Odd. Note: the WRF demo works (as long as you don't use a shortcut/conf file and boot dosbox then use the command line) but the …

And another one: Thunderhawk (my copy came from the Fly & Drive US Gold pack) - works fine if you open DOSBox then run it from the command line, but use a shortcut and it's "Illegal writes" all around! Ice

I believe from the readme (heh) that it just supports Diablo. I tried a few of my Glide3x titles and they said it didn't have the necessary features. eVoodoo runs more Glide3x games though. Ice

Ah good old Need For Speed SE. So flakey! I can't run it on Windows 98 unless I run DxDiag and disable DirectDraw altogether temporarily (re-enable it after or no other games will work!). If that doesn't work, find your Display settings then go to the Performance tab and reduce that until the game - …
