W10 simply blocks those old copy protections. Never heard of them messing up W10 so badly that you have to wipe and reinstall. OP must have gotten confused or broke something else in the process of trying to install the game. Anyway, I believe F22 Lightning 3 will work, as do most Novalogic Windows …

Does dgVoodoo2 support Windows Vista, specifically 64-bit? I can't find any clear documentation on why Vista wouldn't be supported, but 7 is. What's the difference between the two that would prevent dgVoodoo2 working? I'm trying to get Direct3D 8 games such as Splinter Cell working on Windows Vista …

Just adding to this topic, has anyone tried LoL2 Win95 D3D edition with DGVoodoo2? It seems to crash, but works fine using DXwnd and also works in native Windows 11. It's one of the few old D3D games I've played that works better without any wrappers/DLLs, for a 1998 game I find that crazy. This is …

Finally I could check this out (altough I used my old DosBox Ykhwong build). The cursor flashing occurs because the game kinda 'emulates' the hardware cursor and draws it directly into the front (visible) buffer. Even with built-in Glide emulation I get some flashing. For the framerate problem, an …

In the early 90's most games were not speed sensitive, but those that were generally expected 386 class performance. A Pentium 1 is roughly similar to a 386DX33 with L1 cache disable. actually there's more speed sensitive DOS games than people think, even past the early 90s and including major …
