This one confuses me. There is an entry in the Application Compatibility Database (part of the Application Compatibility Toolkit) that uses the following shims: *ForceKeepFocus *IgnoreAltTab *IgnoreException *MapMemoryB0000 With or without these, however, the game will always drop back to the …

Tough one. You won't be able to run really old stuff with that box. Even relatively new old stuff will be a challenge. My suggestion: 486/66DX2 or DX4, or P100. That of course would not allow many Win95 games to work, although I DID have Win95 installed on a P100 and it worked pretty decently ( …

I can certainly understand why there would be some idiots in the crowd that pissed you off -- I mean, there are people like that anywhere -- but you certainly shouldn't let them get to you like this. Is there any chance of being able to port the OS/2 VDM to NT, or would that just be too much work?

Soundfonts make all the difference. The 8MB soundfont is pretty good. Fluid soundfont is the best, but you need to use SBDyn! in order to get it loaded on Live/Audigy cards.

In this case, the buffer is audio data that is gathered some number of milliseconds before it is played. A longer time period means that it will gather more audio before playing it, thereby helping to prevent any 'skipping' by there being gaps in audio data, but it will make the latency worse. A …
