On the hot topic of avoiding Actiblizz.... Loria - Warcraft 2 Final Odyssey - Starcraft Outlive - Starcraft :) (Take2 though...) Loria is a strange beast, it tries to combine generally Warcraft II -ish visual aesthetic with Warcraft III -like gameplay. To me it felt like neither honestly, but I'd …

This thread is significantly more fun than I expected it to be, keep it up guys! Oh, and when we were kids at school back in the 90s, being non-English speakers we did not immediately recognise that decent and descent were different words. And decent was among the words we had to learn as "active …

Yup, thanks for bringing this up! I kind of followed the developments since the source release announcement, although when the actual binaries became available it wasn't easy to find them, somehow. I think they're still in experimental stage of sorts, but I played the RA95 demo a bit with that, …

Here's a curious example: there's a WWI total conversion for Panzer General with an Austro-Hungarian campaign called K.u.k. General , which later served as a base for a libre data set for Panzer General engine recreation called LGeneral . So far I've been unable to track down the original versions …

since I want to use the same DOSBox configuration (as much as possible) on all my setups, I tend to run with core=auto and cycles=max Max cycles worked well for me on the old PC, but now it'd be way too fast for many games, even if not causing any other glitches. My default setting is cycles=auto …

Additional information: The fix above should do the trick. It also will solve a great number of performance issues for a lot of other games! Please note that using max cycles might actually cause additional problems with some games, because it makes DOSBox emulate as many CPU cycles as permitted by …

Yep, Ca3DE (now known as the Cafu Engine ) is yet another 3D game maker/engine by a German developer. The earliest versions were for DOS, but Win32 OpenGL support was added in the early 2000s (about the same time as this snapshot of the official site), and eventually the DOS version was discontinued …

Hmm, I just tried this in DOSBox 0.74-3, the first campaign mission played fine and took me to the level tally screen as expected, but as the second mission started, a sound went into a loop and effectively froze DOSBox in such a way that I couldn't kill it with Ctrl+F9 and had to click on the …

I got some time to do more tests, the game ran fine in SVN with IRQ unmasking, and for now I was able to get to the second mission in DOSBox v0.74-3 too by setting CPU core to simple. Case closed I guess, thanks once again for helping out! UPD: Please see the post below.

If you can't find this archive, we can find some way to get you a copy. I just Googled AirwarDos.zip but to no avail; from what I gathered this version was/is freeware (otherwise I'd not be asking for it), so if it's no trouble to you to upload your archive somewhere that would be really wonderful.

You are probably right, I checked the readme and it doesn't seem to be free. The version (1.4 and not 1.14) is written in both the main screen and the readme, it looks like EGA too Hmm, it seems that they might have switched to different version numbering at some point (for SVGA releases perhaps), …
