don't know if it is really relevant, but the AWE 64 (normal) had an IDE controller for a CD-Rom drive on board. Always one of the resources I threw out on Win9X

Sure I'll keep an eye on it (after all I'm the guy whop is supposed to write the documentation and the FAQ once it is in a more useable state). There is a mapviewer code/binary (win32) snapshot at the Exult download page if you care to test it somewhat. http://exult.sourceforge.net/download.php

he he, I was just about to enter thaz link myself. Memtest86 is great. It soved one of the mysteries of my computer when I thought my HD was going bust. Turned out one of my RAM sticks was bad and was doing all kind of weird stuff to my PC... The downside is that I'm now only running 256 MB and at …

for music you have to choose the sound device in the install of Ultima6. For sound effects you are screwed as ultima6 only uses pc-speakers. Only workaround is to use Dosbox. *** Why doesn't Vlad implement pc-speaker emulation in Vdms? (I know he stated his reasons ages ago but I forgot). ***

I'll take a look myself now. When I had to use the aggressive cli2nop for Tyrian 2k I'm sure that the built-in XP-fix wasn't yet out and totally forgot to test the game with it. Will do later. And yes the game is amazingly fast on Win9x 😀

hm... I'm not sure... I really needed it on W2k and I *think* I needed it for XP as well. The Game crashes as soon as the Vice-over is heard without doing cli2nop...

1. you have to use cli2nop with one of the exe files of Tyrian and try speedset with it (see some other tyrian post way back on this board)

Don't forget that there is a Creative SB AWE 64 (in various layouts) that is Dos compatible as well. I own one and I used to get Ultima 7 to play with this card. Though I think the difference between the AWE32 and AWE64 is the same as between Audigy I/II :) Anyway is there one PCI card that is fully …

I'm pretty sure that it must have worked as that is exactly how it behaves pre-patching. Unless you are "blessed" with one of those machines that don't have ems working for some strange reason (like my laptop).

DosFreak: clean autoexec/config? You mean like nothing in it? Or what do you load? And is this with the PC-Dos that comes with VPC? Or which flavour of Dos? I can't get it to start at all

DosFreak, does it actually work for you? I mean does No Remorse work for you? I still can't get it to work. Can you send me your image?

ok, that wasn't the problem. Just attached my Gameport joystick and didn't work as well. Thinking of it, even if it tried to access the gameport directly it shouldn't work in NT as NT forbids direct hardware access, doesn't it? Any other ideas?
Re: Virtual PC (gameport) joystick support?

Strange on my system the Joystick works fine in VPC 5. Well, not always fine, but it works. It's an USB joystick, the more I was astonished to find it working.

A demo can be found here: http://www.sdispace.com/inspace.htm Ironically it says that it works unmodified on Win3.1 up to XP. Which is true safe for the Joystick support. That doesn't work anymore in NT based systems. Things I tried: - since I'm a registered user I contacted SDI about it but they …
