I said this on the previous MW2 thread, its necroing but its necessary Mech2 and all of its versions doesnt work on WIn10 for the same reasons of why I76 and Heavg Gear some time ago. And its the MW2SHELL.DLL it needs to be hacked and updated to work on modern machines, http://www.zeus-software.com …

Wow! This sounds like excellent work and news! Besides Mech2, this is on my 'to replay list' but in the recent past, I always seemed to run into some glitch or another that would prevent fully and proper play execution of gameplay or graphics. Thanks a million for your efforts and I'm anxious to try …

I came here with optimism looking for info on current modern VR headset working with older Dos games (System Shock, Doom, Dark Forces, Magic Carpet, etc) I understand you won't get true VR but I was hoping for really good 3D stereoscopic effect. I see or can find bits and pieces around the web ( …

I've done it the original, true way once already back in the day. So, if possible, give me an old game with modern bell's and whistles please. Going even beyond, give me the near exact same game but vastly updated - great example, Overload vs Descent

I'm very impressed the OP was able to install win98 on such a modern system. Well done! How is the install working a year later and what was your main reason to do so?

I never knew one could install winXP or Vista inside of DOSBox to run games. Previously and with great success, I've only used DOSBox to run Dos games. I've tried most other virtual machines to run 3dfx or D3D games and they have proven either glitchy or too slow or both. I'll end up trying it …

The new security *fixes* for Windows 10 were also backported to Windows Vista and Seven and then silently, automagically installed via Windows Update.. Nice isn't it ? MS really cares for the users. They try to make sure even users of prioer OSes get an equally good experience whenever possible. :) …

Yup, Vista supporting DX11 was very nice at the time; it's why I skipped over buying win7 and went directly to win10 instead. FWIW, my main motivation for reinstalling Vista is for my games that can't get around StarForce and to run all Mechwarrior2/3 engine games with minimally needed workarounds. …

Cause I want one system that can do it all very well. I have tons of 90's and 00's games I wish to run; both win7 and winXP have too many compatibly …

Thanks, Auzner. This thread indeed shows many pics of both shaders at work. Both very close but I agree xBR does appear better. I'd try xBR but I'm not sure how to implement it as the needed .fx file for Dosbox. I don't see a .fx file for download anywhere?

Nope, it's not a scaler. My screenshots are of a shader; gives a similar effect of SMAA.
