QEMU will play the game just fine in VM if you can compile from source. The WWORLD.EXE Glide/3Dfx version works on OpenGlide right out-of-box. Looking at other screenshots over Internet, it seems OpenGlide did render correctly. The Direct3D XWORLD.EXE didn't work on QEMU VM. Not sure about software …

Like spending 10 hours debugging implausible return values until you figure out that you cannot return a 32-bit value in a proc ( the upper 16 bit will be cut off) >:( Thus proving - coming to an older world from a modern world where the compiler does half the work for you is a challenge, haha. …

would your patch work on windows 95? Never tested there. There is no reason not to use Win98 for QEMU VM. It is less trouble with fast virtualization platform and all Win9x games work on Win98. I have never heard of any games specifically have to have Win95. Can you try command & Conquer red alert …

Microsoft 16-bit C inline assembler wasn't that great, but Watcom 32-bit C was horrible using #pragma. Microsoft 32-bit C after MSVC4.0 would have better inline assembly but it no longer support DOS programming without 3rd-party DOS extender stubs. Are you not familiar with mixed language …

Not quite, he's referring to CD-DA in which the audio data can be extracted digitally without any cable between the sound card and the CD-ROM drive.

You can mount CUE/BIN with Daemon Tools Windows 98 and play the DOS game from Windows 98. Tomb Raider 1 3Dfx DOS played in this way have full CD music. Many late DOS games in CD media distribution would just work from Windows 98. Just create a PIF and run them in full-screen, not even reboot into MS …

Mixing VXD and WDM drivers can cause issues. If the Turtle Beach is VXD and the newer Video driver is WDM it could part of the issue but could also be something else... Mixing VXD and WDM drivers could have never been the issues on Win98/SE/ME. It is a perfectly legit use case for different …

That is perfectly possible with 16-bit MSVC 1.52 and MASM 6.11, but you still need basic x86 ASM knowledge to establish the ASM framework that interfaces with DOS while most of work will be done in C functions. You can also search in simtel/garbo ms-dos archives if libraries provide such framework …

I think the Windows 10 black screen would have nothing to do with GPUs. Otherwise, dgVoodoo2 would have been great. For such a game from 20 years ago, any GPUs would have been fine, including any integrated GPUs/APUs, from the past 7 years. I tested the same game on QEMU Win98/XP VMs on Windows 10 …
