Re: Where to buy old games forum...

in Milliways
Yeah, I ordered Deus Ex from them (I had an illegitimate version for a while, but I wanted to pay for it, since it is a really good game) and there was a nice hole in the reflective label that prevented it from installing fully. Thank goodness the 'backup' copy I have is 'full' -- that is, it has …

Re: Game Test Notes: 7th Guest

No problem. I've attached it. It'd be nice if someone could give me some information on how to win at it, though, since it doesn't seem possible. Oh, ignore the name of the saved game. I was feeling particularly witty or something. (What cheats?)

Re: Game Test Notes: 7th Guest

So, I tried the Win9x version of VDMSound. When I tried using SB16, or SBPro, the game told me that it couldn't find a pcm card at that address. (Which, of course, is true, since there isn't any actual hardware there, but y'know, that's not supposed to happen.) When I tried "Sound Blaster or …

Re: This New Server

No, that's DNS propogation being really, really stupid. Honestly, the current method of DNS is quite terrible. I'm still being sent to the old server when I try to connect to zetafleet.com despite the fact that I changed the DNS last night!! Something is awry. It's weird, because the TTL is only one …

Re: Where to buy old games forum...

Yeah, I found Fade to Black and Mystic Towers at EB in that very bin. It's worth noting that every once-and-a-while, liquidation shops such as Petter's Warehouse (dunno if it's a national thing or not) have some real rarities. I found Alien Virus and Defcon 5 there for extremely low prices, and from …

Re: Win9x + VDMSound **ALPHA**

Running DOSDRV.BAT (VXDS1.EXE) (sometimes): VXDSLOAD caused an invalid page fault in module at 0000:00000001.

The processor is twice as fast and it has four times as much RAM. 😀 While the performance might not seem to have a difference, I guarantee you that this server will not crash even 1/1000th as much as the old one! There should also not be any 'server too busy' problems. 😀

Re: TR / Glidos Help PLEEASE !

There is no AUTOEXEC.BAT nor CONFIG.SYS in Windows NT/2K/XP. Disregard everything you've read in that README. I'm honestly surprised your sound card still works. Your problem definitely sounds like a GIVEIO.SYS-esque thing.

Re: fm synthesis to w/t mapping

Here's the simple, VDMSound explanation: VDMS renders the OPL3/AdLib audio as a wave, whereas MIDI (GM/GS, MT-32) is sent to your card. OPL3/AdLib also does some things that aren't possible in any MIDI implementation. Closing thread: NOPE (though, Vlad, feel free to respond -- and try to make it …
